Celebrating all the wins at Running Wild Chiropractic 🎉 When this little one first started getting adjusted her parents were having a very hard time potty training. She would refuse to even sit on the toilet.

After a few adjustment her parents reported that she started wanting to sit on the toilet.
 Fast forward a few more adjustments and this picture was taken after she had her first success trip to the bathroom. Right after an adjustment!!

The nervous system controls every function in our body - including bladder control and the complex neuro-motor coordination required for potty training. When there’s stress within in the nervous system, it can impact these essential developmental processes.

Through specific neurological focused chiropractic care, we can help remove stress from her nervous system, allowing her body’s natural intelligence to shine through (:

Your journey to optimal health isn’t measured by quick dramatic transformations. It’s measured by subtle “breadcrumbs” that signal your nervous system is finding its balance.

As a nervous system chiropractor, I focus on helping the body to find autonomic nervous system balance that allows your body to function at its fullest potential.

These neurological soft signs might seem small, but they represent profound shifts happening within your body:

>> Better sleep - falling asleep easier, staying asleep longer, waking refreshed
>> Relaxed movement - improved coordination with less stiffness
>> Improved digestion - better function and more regular patterns
>> Stronger posture - standing taller with more confidence
>> Enhanced immune function - fewer illnesses and quicker recovery

Each of these micro-changes compounds over time, guiding you toward your biggest health goals. By recognizing these signs, you can appreciate your body’s incredible healing journey.

Which of these healing signs have you noticed recently? Comment below and let me know! 👇

What’s the BEST type of adjustment to help with ___? The answer… It depends!

Just like no two people are exactly alike, neither are their nervous systems or the care they need.

Think of your nervous system like your body’s master control center. When we do a nervous system scan, we’re essentially reading your body’s unique story - where tension is hiding, how deeply it’s affecting you, and what approach will work best for YOU.

This in-depth scan helps us:
>> Pinpoint exact areas of nervous system stress
>> Measure the depth of tension
>> Create a perfectly tailored adjustment plan
>> Track your progress over time

The result? No more guessing games. Your adjustments are precisely matched to your body’s needs, helping you reach your health goals faster and more effectively.

When this precious 4-year-old first came to our practice, her mom was searching for answers. Despite trying multiple OT approaches, her daughter was struggling with sensory dysregulation, anxiety, and daily tensions.

Her initial nervous system scan revealed what mom had been sensing - her little one’s system was seriously stressed. But what happened next was beautiful! 🦋

“Within just the first few visits, I noticed positive shifts in my daughter’s personality - and so did her daycare teachers! After 6 weeks, her progress scan showed amazing improvements. I knew we had finally found the right path for supporting her.” - Mom

Today, this little rockstar is thriving! She’s calmer, more relaxed, and her natural joy shines through. Mom reports a more peaceful home environment and remarkable improvements in her daughter’s emotional wellbeing. 💗

Stories like these remind me why I do what I do. Gentle neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments can make such a powerful difference in our little ones’ lives.

>> Proper spine and nervous system development

Have you ever heard of Heart Rate Variability (HRV)? It’s a window into how well your body manages stress and adapts to challenges.

Imagine your nervous system as a sophisticated communication network. Sometimes, this network gets stuck in “high alert” mode - like a car with its gas pedal constantly pressed. The INSiGHT HRV scan help us understand when this happens.

What we’re really looking at is your body’s ability to switch between:
>> Stress response (sympathetic mode)
>> Relaxation mode (parasympathetic mode)

This scan shows us how your nervous system is truly functioning - showing us when your body might be struggling to find balance. So that we can help your brain and body communicate better, helping your nervous system become more resilient!

Knowledge is the first step to feeling better. Understanding how your body responds to stress can be incredibly empowering. 💫

Over three years ago I first started adjusting this little guy’s mom while she was pregnant with him. Then I got to adjust him when he was a newborn. And today this little guy has grown so much and I’m still adjusting him!!

Chiropractic care during pregnancy isn’t just about supporting mom’s comfort - it’s about supporting her nervous system and the nervous system of her little one. This will help set both of them up for a lifetime of health.

From supporting expecting mothers to gentle pediatric adjustments, it’s about helping families thrive at every stage!

Watching this child grow, seeing his nervous system develop, and supporting his health journey is such a joy and privilege. Each adjustment is a small investment in his biggest potential. 🌱

Let me tell you a secret about the real birth preparation that nobody really talks about - and it’s not what you might think.

It’s not the prenatal classes. It’s not what to pack in your hospital bag. The most transformative birth preparation isn’t something you can buy. It’s something you FEEL.

Birth Community Circles are where this MAGIC happens.

These incredible gatherings aren’t just meetings—they’re sacred spaces where physiological birth stories breathe hope into every expecting mama’s heart. When you sit in a room filled with women sharing their raw, powerful birth experiences, something profound shifts inside you.

Hearing story after story of empowered, physiological births does something magical—it rewrites your internal script. Suddenly, birth isn’t something to fear. It becomes a journey of strength, love, and pure human potential.

There’s something incredible that happens when you hear women sharing their physiological birth stories - you start to believe in your own magic. Every time I attend these circles, I leave feeling like a powerful magical goddess. I trusted and knew what my body was capable of when it was time to birth Nora. I had heard many empowering stories and believed it was possible for myself too.

So the secret to preparing for your birth is to believe it’s possible and to tap into your power. You have everything you need within you already, you just have to believe it!
