Thanksgiving is meant to be a time of gratitude, connection, and slowing down to enjoy the company of family and friends. But let’s be honest—more often than not, it comes with a fair share of stress.

When most parents hear the phrase birth trauma, they think of the “big” events—an emergency C-section, forceps, or vacuum extraction. And while those are certainly significant, the truth is that nearly every birth exerts some level of stress on a newborn’s nervous system.

When parents hear the term ADHD, they often think of restless behavior, poor focus, or emotional outbursts. It’s one of the most common childhood diagnoses, with nearly 10% of school-aged children receiving the label.

When most people start chiropractic care, it’s because something in their health isn’t working the way it should. Headaches, poor sleep, digestive struggles, focus issues, constant stress—the list goes on.

When a child struggles with focus, behavior, sleep, digestion, or emotional regulation, most parents understandably want relief as quickly as possible. But when it comes to neurological health, there’s no “instant fix.”

You may have heard of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) from a teacher, therapist, or concerned family member—or maybe you’ve simply Googled “why does my child hate tags and loud noises?” Sensory Processing Disorder isn’t a buzzword or a trend. It’s a neurological challenge that affects how the brain receives, organizes, and responds to sensory input.

When it comes to your child’s health (or your own), symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg. Whether it’s anxiety, poor sleep, digestion issues, emotional outbursts, or developmental delays—these outward signs are often indicators of a deeper problem: nervous system dysregulation.

When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change, so do our family rhythms. Fall is a season of transitions—new school routines, shifting sleep patterns, busy weekends, and more time indoors. While it’s one of the coziest times of year, it also brings fresh challenges to our health: immune stress, increased screen time, emotional dysregulation, and nervous system overload.

Being a parent in today’s world can feel like trying to pour from an empty cup. The pace is relentless—balancing work, home, kids’ schedules, emotional demands, and a constant stream of notifications. We often tell ourselves we’ll rest later, get help later, decompress later… but that “later” rarely comes.

It’s no secret that today’s teens are navigating an entirely different world than we did. Screens are everywhere — in their pockets, classrooms, bedrooms — and they’re rarely “off.” As a parent, it’s easy to feel like the only solution is to take the phone away.

When people—kids or adults—begin neurologically-focused chiropractic care, it’s common to see changes, sometimes big ones, in how their body feels and functions. At first, these changes can feel confusing or even concerning, almost like things are getting worse before they get better.

Healing isn’t always a straight line. If your child has made progress—only to suddenly stall or even take a step back—it can feel confusing and discouraging. But in the world of neurological development, this is often exactly what we expect.

You’ve stretched. Rested. Tried ice packs, heating pads, foam rollers, and maybe even swapped your mattress or desk chair. You’ve visited your primary doctor or maybe even a physical therapist. And still — the back pain, headaches, or old injury keeps flaring back up.

If your teen is constantly exhausted, moody, struggling to fall asleep—or can’t seem to “shut off” even when they’re wiped out—you are not imagining things, and neither are they. Chronic fatigue, stress overload, and emotional burnout are becoming the norm…

As parents, we all want to send our kids into the new school year feeling confident, focused, and ready to thrive. We carefully check off the supply list, reset bedtime routines, and get everything packed and prepped. But there’s one essential piece that often gets overlooked — and it might just be the most important one

Have you ever looked back at your child’s behavior, health, or development and thought… “Something feels off, but I can’t quite pinpoint when it started”?

In today’s world, kids are growing up in an environment that’s more demanding than ever—emotionally, physically, and neurologically. From a very young age, they’re exposed to stressors that previous generations never had to navigate…

You’ve likely heard the phrase “consistency is key,” but when it comes to your child’s health—especially their neurological health—this couldn’t be more true. If you’ve ever wondered why some children thrive with chiropractic care while others don’t see the same level of change, the answer often lies in the plan.

When a child’s body is in constant fight or flight mode—melting down over small changes, struggling with sleep, or constantly sick—parents often search for answers that never seem to come. What if the issue wasn’t behavioral, but neurological?

Swimming is one of the best parts of summer, but for some kids, all that fun in the water leads to a frustrating cycle of ear infections. If your child seems to catch an ear infection after every pool day—or ends up in a recurring round of antibiotics—you might be wondering what’s really going on.
