ADHD is one of the most commonly discussed neurodevelopmental challenges today, but what’s often missing from the conversation is the role of the autonomic nervous system—especially the vagus nerve.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is becoming increasingly common in kids and teens. Parents often notice dizziness, extreme fatigue, rapid heart rate, brain fog, or anxiety—especially when their child stands up or changes position.

The vagus nerve plays a powerful role in regulating the body, yet most people don’t realize just how many systems depend on it. From digestion to emotional regulation to inflammation control, this nerve is the primary communication channel between the brain and the body.

When someone isn’t feeling well or keeps catching every little bug that goes around, it’s easy to assume “my immune system is weak.” But what most people don’t realize is that the immune system doesn’t operate on its own—it follows the lead of the nervous system.

Constipation is one of the most common digestive complaints for both teens and adults. Whether it shows up as infrequent bowel movements, bloating, cramping, or that uncomfortable “full” feeling that never quite goes away, it can take a toll on energy, sleep, focus, and overall well-being.

If your baby always looks to one side, fights tummy time, or has a flat spot developing on the back or side of their head, you're not alone. Torticollis and plagiocephaly are two of the most common infant concerns parents bring into our office — and they often show up together.

“New Year, New You” doesn’t start at the gym — it starts with your nervous system. In this video, Dr. Drake explains how stress, subluxations, and nervous system imbalance keep your body in overdrive — and how neurologically focused chiropractic care helps you reset for a healthier, more adaptable year.

Winter sickness doesn’t have to be a cycle your child can’t escape. In this video, Dr. Drake breaks down the connection between RSV, the immune system, and your child’s nervous system — and how neurologically focused chiropractic care can make all the difference this season.

Kids’ nervous systems work overtime adapting to stress. Boost adjustments give them the help they need to reset, recharge, and keep thriving. Learn when to schedule one and how neurologically focused chiropractic care supports your child’s growth and regulation.

As the new year begins, it’s natural to feel hopeful about change. We set resolutions, organize planners, join gyms, and promise ourselves that this will be the year we finally feel our best. But before long, old patterns sneak back in…

Every parent knows the sound — that first sniffle, the deep cough that lingers, the sleepless nights that follow. Winter viruses like RSV, colds, and the flu can turn a cozy season into weeks of stress and worry.

Thanksgiving is a season we all look forward to—but let’s be honest, it’s also one of the most stressful times of the year. Between travel, family gatherings, heavy meals, and late nights, the nervous system takes a hit.

Many parents don’t realize their child’s struggles — fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, gut issues, or constant sensory overload — can stem from dysautonomia, an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system.

If your child seems “off” but no one can quite explain why — they’re tired but can’t sleep, anxious but can’t calm down, or complain of stomach pain with no clear cause — dysautonomia may be part of the picture.

Overuse of antibiotics is a growing concern for kids’ health. While life-saving in the right moments, frequent use disrupts the gut microbiome, weakens immune strength, and creates stress patterns in the nervous system.

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.

Feeling better is just the start. The real transformation happens in years 2 and 3—when your nervous system is rewired and hardwired for resilience.

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.

One of the most common questions I hear from parents is, “How long will it take for my child to get better?” And while I wish I could say there’s a magic adjustment that fixes everything instantly — that’s not how the nervous system works. The truth is, healing happens in phases.

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.”
