Story of Hope
Meet Jake, a young boy whose life took a turn from explosive emotions to self-regulation. At 2 and ½ years old, Jake’s parents were desperate as tantrums, anger, and emotional struggles dominated his daily life. After discovering Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, they witnessed a remarkable transformation. Jake not only became calmer but also excelled in competitive karate, showcasing the power of nervous system regulation.
Understanding Nervous System Regulation
Nervous system regulation ensures the body functions properly, maintaining balance and stability. Dysregulation occurs when stress (or what we call subluxation) overwhelms the nervous system, impacting sleep, digestion, and energy. Signs such as sleep disturbances, mood swings, and energy fluctuations indicate a dysregulated nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system governs body systems, with the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches managing stress and relaxation, respectively. The vagus nerve, crucial for rest, repair, and regulation, plays a pivotal role. Damage to this nerve can hinder the nervous system’s ability to stay balanced.
Things like a stressful pregnancy, birth trauma (c-section, vacuum, forceps) or tough life experiences can kick this off. Nervous system dysfunction in children manifests as difficulty nursing, colic, and developmental delays. As they grow, issues like chronic ear infections, immune challenges, and emotional struggles emerge. This “Perfect Storm” can lead to sensory, ADHD, and spectrum-like challenges in kids.
In adults nervous system dysfunction can manifest as difficulty sleeping, anxiety, TMJ pain, inability to adapt to cold weather, low energy, digestive issues and stubborn weight gain.
