The Real Root Cause? Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation
You’ve tried it all—specialists, medications, diet changes—yet the struggles remain. 😞 If your child is still dealing with sleep issues, big emotions, digestive problems, or anxiety… it’s time to look where few others do: the nervous system. In this video, Dr. Drake explains how nervous system dysregulation could be the missing link behind your child’s chronic health challenges — and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care offers real, lasting solutions.
If you or your child are dealing with chronic health challenges like digestive issues, sleep struggles, anxiety, or intense emotions… you may feel like you’ve tried everything, only to come up short.
You’ve likely seen countless specialists, tested multiple medications, and made major lifestyle changes—yet still haven’t found lasting relief or clear answers.
But what if the key to unlocking those answers lies in the most complex and powerful system in the body—the nervous system?
In this video, we’ll break down nervous system dysregulation—what it is, where it comes from, and how it affects children and adults alike.
This video is for parents who are done with band-aid solutions and want to finally get to the true root cause of their child’s or their own chronic health challenges.
We’ll explore what nervous system dysregulation looks like, how it develops, and the life-changing difference Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can make in identifying and correcting this often-overlooked issue.
Take Ian, for example. His nervous system was stuck in constant fight-or-flight, unable to adapt or regulate. Instead of responding calmly, he reacted defensively to everyday stress. His mom shared,
“Teachers were calling me daily saying he had another bad day... he was saying things about hurting himself or others. We tried medication for a year—it made things worse. We felt hopeless.”
Nervous system dysregulation isn’t a disease—it’s an imbalance that disrupts how the body processes stress, stimuli, and emotions. Left unaddressed, it can evolve into more serious issues.
The most common root causes we see in our office include:
Stress during preconception and pregnancy
Birth trauma (like forceps, vacuum, or c-sections)
Environmental toxins and stressors
Modern lifestyle challenges like poor nutrition, lack of movement, and screen time
The symptoms vary:
🧠 Cognitive – trouble focusing or remembering
😔 Emotional – anxiety or mood swings
😴 Physical – poor sleep, chronic pain, or digestion issues
🤯 Behavioral – meltdowns, outbursts, or withdrawal
It’s often tied to conditions like SPD, autism, anxiety, sleep struggles, constipation, and weakened immune function.
But there is hope. Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care takes a drug-free, root-cause approach—working directly with the vagus nerve to restore regulation and adaptability in the nervous system.
At our office, we use INSiGHT Scans to measure and map out exactly how the nervous system is functioning. These scans guide us in creating a customized care plan designed to bring balance and healing.
And Ian?
“Once we started care, I noticed changes right away—he was calmer, more focused. Now we’re not getting daily calls from school. He enjoys class, handles emotions better, and is just so much happier.”
If you or your child are facing similar challenges and feel like you've exhausted all other options—it’s time to take a closer look at the nervous system.
