80% of Children Born By C-Section Are Diagnosed With Sensory Processing Disorder
Is your child having difficulty with everyday activities like going to school, playing with friends, or even getting dressed? They may be experiencing Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), a surprisingly common condition that affects nearly 80% of children born by C-section. SPD can turn daily life into a challenge for both kids and their families, impacting learning, social interactions, and emotional regulation. Watch this video from Dr. Drake as he explores the world of SPD, discussing its causes, symptoms, and the transformative effects of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.
Is your child struggling with everyday experiences like going to school, playing with friends, or even getting dressed? Do they seem overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or certain textures? Or perhaps they seem unresponsive to their surroundings and have difficulty with coordination. If this sounds familiar, your child may be struggling with Sensory Processing Disorder or SPD.
SPD affects a staggering number of children, with almost 80% of those born by C-section experiencing some form of sensory processing challenge. This often misunderstood condition can make daily life a constant struggle for both children and their families. But what if there was a way to address the root cause of SPD and unlock your child's full potential?
This video is for parents of children who are struggling with sensory processing challenges and are seeking answers and drug-free solutions to help their child thrive.
In this video, we'll dive deep into the world of Sensory Processing Disorder, exploring its causes, symptoms, and most importantly, how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can help. You'll learn about the crucial role of the nervous system in sensory processing and how addressing underlying imbalances can lead to profound improvements in your child's life.
The statistics surrounding Sensory Processing Disorder are staggering. Did you know that SPD affects almost 80% of children born by C-section? That's right, this surprisingly common condition is impacting the lives of countless children and their families. And while SPD shares some similarities with Autism Spectrum Disorder, it's important to recognize that SPD is its own distinct condition, with unique challenges that can impact every aspect of a child's life, from learning and academic performance to social interactions and emotional regulation.
To truly understand SPD, we need to look at the critical role of the nervous system in sensory processing. In typically developing children, the nervous system seamlessly receives, interprets, and responds to sensory input from the environment. However, when the nervous system is not functioning optimally, as in the case of SPD, sensory processing becomes disrupted, leading to the various challenges associated with the disorder.
Two primary culprits behind neurological dysfunction in SPD are subluxation and dysautonomia. Subluxation refers to misalignments in the upper neck and throughout the neurospinal system that interfere with proper neurological communication. Dysautonomia, on the other hand, is an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, which consists of the sympathetic "fight or flight" response and the parasympathetic "rest and digest" functions.
In children with SPD, the sympathetic nervous system is often stuck in overdrive, leading to heightened sensitivity, while the parasympathetic system may be underactive, making it difficult for the child to relax and process sensory information effectively.
Another key player in sensory processing is the vagus nerve, the longest cranial nerve that acts as a major communication highway between the brain and various organs. When the vagus nerve is functioning optimally, it promotes calm and relaxation. However, dysfunction can worsen sensory processing difficulties.
At Innate Family Chiropractic, we understand the complexity of Sensory Processing Disorder and the profound impact it can have on a child's life. That's why we've developed a unique approach called Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, which addresses the underlying imbalances and dysfunction that contribute to SPD.
I'm extensively trained in pediatric neurology and use cutting-edge technology like INSiGHT Scans to pinpoint areas of subluxation and dysautonomia. By restoring proper alignment and balance to the nervous system, we help optimize neurological function and improve the brain's ability to process and integrate sensory information.
The results speak for themselves. Children who receive Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care often experience significant improvements in their sensory processing abilities, emotional regulation, sleep, digestion, immune function, focus, and overall well-being.
