Most people spend their whole lives cleaning cobwebs, sweeping away the exhaustion, the pain, the sleepless nights, and the anxiety. But those cobwebs are just the body’s way of showing us something deeper: a pattern that’s still spinning beneath the surface.

Stress has become a constant companion for many families in today’s fast-paced world. Parents are juggling work demands, financial pressures, and the challenges of modern parenting, while kids are navigating academic expectations, overscheduled lives, and the ever-present influence of technology and social media. Over time, this chronic stress can lead to a condition known as cortisol addiction, affecting both kids and parents alike. Cortisol, often referred to as the “stress hormone,” plays a crucial role in our body’s response to stress.

Do you ever feel like you're dragging through the day, even after a good night’s sleep, healthy meals, and your daily coffee? The problem might not be your schedule or motivation, it could be your nervous system.

For years, we have been told that our health is predetermined by our genes, a kind of biological lottery we either win or lose. Parents are often told their child’s chronic conditions, developmental delays, or immune challenge are “just genetic”. Thanks to the work of pioneering cell biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, we now know that genes do not control health outcomes in a fixed or inevitable way.

While parents may understandably look for major breakthroughs, such as improved speech and communication, reduced seizures, or significant behavioral changes, it’s important to recognize that neurological healing starts with foundational shifts in the body.

Rebuilding postpartum isn’t about getting your body back. It is about reconnecting to the body in a sustainable and functional way. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, it can lead to fatigue, anxiety, or a lingering sense of disconnection. Neurologically based chiropractic care helps facilitate reconnection and reintegration of these systems, creating lasting healing from the inside out.

Infantile Colic is often dismissed as a phase that infants grow out of, but this view overlooks the neurological underpinnings that contribute to the condition. While most people will look to the stomach or digestive system for the cause of colic, the root cause is often found even deeper within the nervous system and its control and coordination of digestive motility, absorption, and elimination.

Recognizing the truth beneath the ties encourages a more integrative, functional approach to care, one that honors the body’s complexity and capacity for healing when given the right support.

Breastfeeding is not just a method of delivering nutrition; it is also a way of establishing a relationship between mother and baby. This is the baby’s first relationship in life and one that sets the tone for how the baby learns to view the world.

The Webster Technique, a chiropractic approach that supports pelvic and sacral stability during pregnancy, may help facilitate more optimal birthing conditions and positively influence the Autonomic Nervous System.

Most people think life begins at birth, but the truth is, it begins much earlier. Long before your baby takes their first breath, their nervous system is already active, sensing and responding to the world inside the womb. What happens during pregnancy doesn’t just impact physical growth, it deeply shapes emotional and psychological well-being.

While most of us are led to believe that the health of our children is determined by DNA and their genetic code, research tells us that in reality the health of a developing child’s nervous system and the environment they are developing in throughout pregnancy and childhood play a far greater role in determining their health.

The next time you wake up feeling stiff or sore and find yourself blaming your pillow or the way you slept, remember it’s more likely a sign of unresolved stress in your nervous system.

When it comes to addressing health issues, it’s crucial to recognize that the body prioritizes survival over everything else. This means that when faced with multiple health concerns, the brain will allocate its resources to the most pressing survival-related issues. This process isn't about neglecting other concerns, but rather ensuring that the most life-threatening conditions are managed first.

Many parents struggle with their children’s overstimulation while also trying to manage their own sensory needs. They often express feeling as though they’ve lost their patience, energy, and ability to cope with the daily challenges of family life. If this sounds familiar, you may be easily overstimulated, a state also known as sensory overload.

It’s important to recognize that digestive health is a complex issue that requires a holistic approach. In addition to chiropractic care, factors such as diet, hydration, exercise, and stress management all play a role in promoting healthy bowel function.

As the world increasingly shifts towards natural, drug-free healthcare, many parents are seeking pediatric chiropractic care for their children. However, since this approach to health and neurologically-focused healing is relatively new, parents often feel overwhelmed and confused when they discover the various specialties within chiropractic care and try to understand the differences.

As parents, our top priority is making the best choices for our children’s health. Yet, in a world full of conflicting information and advice, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed or confused about what’s truly best. It’s okay to be confused, and it's okay to not have all the answers right away. In fact, embracing that uncertainty can be the first step toward finding a more holistic and informed approach to your child’s well-being.

It’s natural to want immediate results when seeking care for your child’s health. However, it’s essential to understand that the healing process doesn’t always yield instant results. In the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, he describes a key concept called “Latent Potential Plateau”, which refers to a period where progress may seem slow or stagnant, but behind the scenes, the body is preparing for more significant, lasting changes.

In today's digital age, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is revolutionizing nearly every aspect of our lives. However, as we become increasingly reliant on these technologies, unexpected consequences may be lurking beneath the surface, especially when it comes to our brains. Chiropractic care has shown to mitigate the negative impacts of modern technology and promote better memory, focus, and cognitive resilience.

Nearly 20% of all pediatric outpatient visits result in an antibiotic prescription. While these powerful medications can be lifesaving in fighting off harmful bacteria, it’s crucial to understand how they work in your child’s body, especially in terms of how long they remain in their system.

In life, we often find ourselves trying to avoid the challenges that seem to overwhelm us, much like a herd of animals fleeing from a storm. However, the buffalo, has a unique response. Instead of running away, the buffalo runs directly into the storm. This bold approach allows the buffalo to move through the storm more quickly and with less damage. In the context of pediatric neurological challenges, such as autism or ADHD, this metaphor can be incredibly powerful. Families dealing with these conditions often face what feels like a “perfect storm” of neurological stress. It’s important to run toward it with the intention of addressing the root cause, rather than shying away from the overwhelming chaos by modifying the world around us.

One of the most important decisions as a parent is choosing the right doctor for your child. In today’s fast-paced world, with rising chronic health issues among children, it’s vital to have a healthcare provider who listens to your concerns and seeks the root cause of your child’s health challenges.

When a person says something is impossible, it really means that it is more than they are willing to give up to achieve it. Consistency is key when it comes to staying proactive with health and healing. We try to make your chiropractic experience as efficient as possible, but we cannot see progress without the rhythm of pounding the stone.

Many pregnant women ask what they can do at home to help support the chiropractic adjustments and minimize or even avoid aches and pains during their pregnancy. The key is daily movement habits. The truth is, the body adapts to how you use it throughout the days, months, and years. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym before you start feeling better. You can make simple at-home changes.

As a mother, the top priority is raising healthy children. For centuries, we have been taught to be afraid of germs and that the younger we are the weaker our immune system is to fight off a virus or bacteria by itself. There is not one system in the body that acts independently. Any kind of stress to one system influences the other systems.

Is it safe? This is the first question a newborn is asking upon entering the world and it is answered in milliseconds. The human brain is wired to search for trust. Trust followed by satisfaction breeds more trust. This is why immediately after delivery it is critical to have mother-baby bonding.

In order to optimize birth and minimize trauma, all participants need to feel safe, supported and connected during the birthing process. The vagus nerve is both an indicator for resilience and a potential risk factor for a newborn. It forms a network of nerves originating in the brainstem, wandering down to the gut. It transmits signals related to feelings of safety and threat, thereby influencing both our emotional state and physical sensations. It is not solely about ‘getting’ the baby out; rather, it’s about feeling safe enough to let the baby out.

Choices we make daily and seasonally affect our immune system function. Although it seems impossible to resist the stresses imposed on us by the demands of our hectic society, we can reduce the effects these stresses have on our families’ health. Two important keys: The lifestyle choices we make that reduce ongoing stressors and what we do to help our bodies adapt to the incoming stressors.

Our approach is to address the root cause of all dysfunction, and make safe and specific adjustments that help restore and rebuild optimal function and healing mechanisms within the body itself. The body is so intelligent and organized, when this natural drug-free form of healing happens, the first things to improve and going to be the “building blocks” of good health- sleep, digestion, immune response, movement, and so forth.
