If you've been through PT, OT, and Speech Therapy, yet your child's development has hit a plateau, this is for you.

In a world that is full of intimidating diagnoses, politically-driven agendas, judgy mom groups, social media, trigger warnings left and right, and the Target checkout lady saying “sleep while you can,” it’s so hard to know where to turn to for advice when you find out that you’re pregnant…

And at a time when you are most vulnerable, keep your birth team and circle tight. Have a circle that supports, empowers, and encourages you in all your choices during your pregnancy.

The Vagus Nerve, often referred to as the "wandering nerve," holds a critical role in regulating essential functions like sleeping, eating, digestion, immune responses, communication, and emotional well-being. 

When this remarkable nerve faces dysfunction, it sets the stage for a cascade of neurological challenges, some of which might be more familiar than you think. The scientific evidence is compelling – Vagus Nerve Disorders and Dysfunction are closely tied to a range of neurological conditions in children. Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety, and even Epilepsy or Seizures are just a few examples.

In a world where traditional medicine is often prescribed, keeping children indoors during allergy seasons and drowning symptoms with medications, there's a growing realization that this approach compromises the quality of children's lives.

Proprioception is like our body's "sixth sense" that constantly sends information to the brain about the body's position, movement, coordination, spatial orientation, and motor tone… Crucially, proprioception plays a pivotal role in brain development, optimal brain function, regulation, and overall well-being in developing children and teenagers. Altered proprioception is closely correlated with the four main neurological conditions that children often face today: autism, sensory processing issues, ADHD, and anxiety.

Our approach to ADHD at Inspire Life Chiropractic refuses to merely address symptoms with surveys, questionnaires, and medications.

Welcome, dads! There is no doubt a lot of hustle and grind of being a busy dad. So, I want to talk about the common tendency to accept poor health as just a part of being a dad. It's not. We need to take care of ourselves so we can set a good example for our kids.

The key to understanding motor development lies in the nervous system. The muscles of your child's body in the developing muscular motor movement system are under complete and total control of the nervous system.

Constipation is a common issue affecting about 30% of children, and it tends to be worse in the preschool and toddler years. In our clinic, we don't just treat the symptoms and throw medications at a condition like a traditional pediatrician would. Instead, we get to the root cause and work closely with the nervous system.

Dysautonomia is a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for controlling and coordinating every function in our body. The autonomic nervous system is designed to operate on autopilot, but when it's in disarray, it can lead to a variety of issues.

I first want to address a common misconception about colic. It is not something that babies simply grow out of. If your parent gut is telling you that something is not right, you're absolutely correct. There is something going on within your baby's body that you CAN address.

The vagus nerve is a nerve that comes out from underneath the skull on both sides and goes throughout the entire body - through the heart, lungs, and digestive organs.
