RSV & Winter Viruses: Building Immune Resilience from the Inside Out
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. Watch to learn how to help your child stay strong, recover faster, and thrive this winter! 💪
Today we’re diving into a topic every parent knows too well — RSV, colds, and those relentless winter viruses that just seem to make the rounds.
We’ll explore why some kids get sick more often than others — and how the nervous system plays a powerful role in immune resilience.
RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is one of the most common viruses affecting kids each winter.
For some, it’s mild. For others, it leads to endless coughing, congestion, ear infections, or even hospital visits.
But here’s what many parents don’t realize — it’s not always about the virus itself.
It’s about how the body responds to it.
Your child’s nervous system is the command center for every system in the body — including the immune system.
When the body’s under chronic stress — physical, chemical, or emotional — it shifts into survival mode.
That stress response can suppress immune function, slow drainage, and make recovery longer.
Think of it like a traffic jam in the body’s communication network. The brain’s trying to send healing signals, but the message just isn’t getting through clearly.
Neurologically focused chiropractic care identifies and relieves those stress patterns — called subluxations — that interfere with communication between the brain and body.
We use INSiGHT scans to measure how well your child’s nervous system is adapting and regulating.
When we make gentle adjustments, it helps shift the body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-heal mode.
That’s where the immune system can truly shine — helping kids fight off viruses faster, drain better, and stay stronger.
What Parents Can Do at Home:
✅ Prioritize rest and routine
✅ Encourage hydration and whole foods
✅ Limit overstimulation from screens and sugar
✅ And most importantly — check the nervous system!
When the nervous system is clear and connected, everything else can function better — from digestion to immunity to mood.
If your family’s been hit hard by winter viruses, it’s time to look deeper than just symptoms.
Let’s find the root cause and help your child build true resilience from the inside out.
