🔥 We Don’t Do “A Little Bit of Everything.” We Do One Thing!
And We Do It Exceptionally Well.

In a world where offices are adding lasers, weight-loss programs, supplements, red lights, massage chairs, and every therapy under the sun…
we’ve chosen a different path.

At Specialized Health Chiropractic, we don’t chase trends.
We don’t stack on gadgets.
We don’t dilute our purpose.

We do chiropractic.
Very specific, neurologically-focused chiropractic.
And we do it with excellence.

Because when you understand the nervous system
[truly understand it]
you don’t need twenty add-ons to create real change.
You need precision.
You need consistency.
You need doctors who know how to calm a stressed brain and reconnect a dysregulated body.

That’s why parents come to us when:
🧠 Their child is stuck in fight-or-flight
🧠 ADHD, sensory overload, or anxiety keep getting worse
🧠 Meltdowns and mood swings feel unmanageable
🧠 They want answers, not fluff

Other offices can mix and match.
That’s their lane.

But ours?
Helping children and families regulate, heal, and thrive through the power of neurologically-based chiropractic.... nothing less, nothing more.

If you want an office that stays in its zone of genius and delivers results by focusing on what matters most…
welcome home.

When Your Child’s Nervous System Is Dysregulated… Everything Feels Hard.

If your child seems constantly overwhelmed, anxious, explosive, or “stuck on high alert,” it’s not because they’re being difficult.
It’s because their nervous system is running the show — and it’s running too fast, too loud, and too hot.

A dysregulated nervous system can look like:
⚡ Big reactions to small triggers
⚡ Meltdowns that feel unpredictable
⚡ Trouble focusing or sitting still
⚡ Sleep battles
⚡ Tummy aches + headaches
⚡ Sensory overload
⚡ Mood swings out of nowhere

Here’s the truth most parents are never told:
Kids don’t grow out of dysregulation.
They grow out of it when the nervous system finally gets the support it’s been missing.

That’s why we don’t just adjust spines —
we adjust the nervous system.
We look at how stress is stored, how the vagus nerve is functioning, and how the brain and body are communicating.
Our neurological scans show parents the exact areas stuck in fight-or-flight… and what we can do to help their child finally regulate, reset, and reconnect.

When the nervous system calms, your child calms.
When the body feels safe, behavior changes.
When the stress lifts, families breathe again.

If you’re tired of guessing what’s wrong or being told “this is just how they are,” we’d love to show you what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

Ames moms… if you’ve tried everything for your child’s ADHD or behavior struggles and still feel hopeless, this is for you.
The calls from school. The endless “what now” advice. The tears, the fights, the worry that nothing is working. You’re not alone.
The truth is, behavior issues aren’t just about discipline or willpower. They’re often rooted in the brain and nervous system. And when that system is out of balance, it shows up as focus problems, mood swings, and meltdowns.
At Specialized Health Chiropractic, we created the Mood Regulation Blueprint to help kids ages 6–16 thrive. It includes:
✅ Full exam
✅ 3 neurological exams
✅ Reflex testing
✅ A full findings report of what the scans mean
✅ A custom plan built for your child
This isn’t another quick fix. It’s about getting to the root cause so your child — and your family — can finally breathe again.
👉 Spots are limited this month. Click Learn More now to claim your child’s Mood Regulation Blueprint before we’re fully booked.

✨ The Vagus Nerve — Your Child’s Built-In Calming Switch ✨

If your child is constantly on edge, overwhelmed by sounds, bouncing off the walls, melting down over the tiniest thing…
there’s a good chance their vagus nerve is struggling to do its job.

The vagus nerve is like the body’s brake pedal — it slows the heart rate, calms breathing, softens tension, and helps kids shift out of fight-or-flight.
When it’s under stress (birth trauma, chronic overwhelm, sensory load, illness), kids get:
🌀 Big emotions
🌀 Mood swings
🌀 Sleep struggles
🌀 Tummy troubles
🌀 Sensory overload
🌀 Anxiety or shutdown

Here’s the wild part…
A stressed vagus nerve can’t reset on its own.
It needs support, regulation, and consistent neurological input.

That’s exactly what our pediatric chiropractic care focuses on — not “cracking backs,” but restoring vagal tone, balancing the nervous system, and helping kids experience calm in their body for the first time in a long time.

When the vagus nerve calms…
Kids calm.
Families breathe again.
Hope returns.

If this sounds like your child, we’d love to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

🌟 To every parent raising a child with special needs… this one’s for you.
You already know that “normal” is a myth. Your child’s journey has never fit inside a neat box—
and honestly? That’s part of what makes them so incredible.
At Specialized Health Chiropractic, we’ll never promise to erase who your child is.
We’re not here to “fix” them or mold them into someone else’s version of typical.
✨ But what we can do is help their nervous system function better… so they can live each day a little fuller.
A little calmer.
A little more connected.
A little more them.
When stress on the nervous system eases, kids often:
✔️ Regulate emotions better
✔️ Handle transitions with more ease
✔️ Sleep deeper
✔️ Stay more focused
✔️ Feel more comfortable in their body and world
Our role is simple:
Support their unique wiring. Honor who they are.
And help them experience the best version of life—one day, one adjustment at a time.
If you’re ready to explore what’s possible for your child, we’re here with open arms.

🏈 Meet Dr. Gavin — Ames Born, Ames Raised, Ames Serving.

If you’ve met Dr. Gavin, you already know: he’s the calm, steady presence every parent wishes they had in their corner.
But what many don’t know is his story started right here in Ames.

Growing up in this community, Dr. Gavin spent most of his childhood on ball fields, weight rooms, and football sidelines.
And like so many athletes… he faced an injury that changed everything.

But instead of it being the end of his story —
it became the beginning.

✨ Chiropractic was the only thing that helped him heal fully.
It opened his eyes to how powerful the nervous system is…
how the body heals when the interference is cleared…
and how deeply an adjustment can change someone’s life path.

That experience led him to chiropractic school.
And now it’s brought him home —
to serve the same community that shaped him.

💛 Dr. Gavin is honored to care for kids, parents, athletes, and families right here in Ames.
Whether your child is melting down, missing sleep, struggling with focus, or trying to bounce back from sports injuries…
he brings both expertise and lived experience.

Help us welcome him back to the place that started it all!
Ames, you’re lucky — and we’re even luckier to have him on our SHC team. 🙌
