Did you know your sensory processing system is directly connected to your nervous system? This is why chiropractic care can be a game-changer for those experiencing sensory overload!

The spine houses the superhighway of nerves that carry sensory information to your brain. When your spine is in a state of imbalance, it's like having interference on this information highway - making it harder for your brain to properly process and regulate sensory input. If the brain is not able to process and regulate properly, this can lead to meltdowns and chaos between the brain and body!

Think of it like this:
Your nervous system is like a cup. When it's dysregulated due to stress, overwhelm, or imbalance:
1. Your cup gets smaller (less capacity to handle input)

2. Sensory information gets jumbled

3. Your brain works overtime to process signals

4. Your threshold for overwhelm drops

5. Fight/flight response activates more easily

Through chiropractic care, the body can experience:
✨ Being clear of nerve interference
✨ Improvement with sensory processing
✨ Nervous system regulation
✨ Raise overwhelm threshold
✨ Better brain-body communication
✨ Help prevent sensory overload
✨ Create more capacity for daily stressors

This is why many of our patients report:
-Fewer meltdowns
-Better stress tolerance
-Improved focus
-Decreased sensitivity to stimuli
-Better emotional regulation
-More balanced nervous system
-Enhanced ability to handle busy environments

When your nervous system is regulated through chiropractic care, you're giving your body the best chance to process sensory information effectively!

✨ Did you know the shape of your baby's palate can impact their feeding, sleep, and overall development? ✨

Palate shape isn’t just about teeth or future braces—it plays a role in how your baby breathes, feeds, and even grows! 🍼✨

As a board-certified pediatric chiropractor, I use gentle cranial techniques to support optimal cranial and palate development. These specialized adjustments help release tension, improve symmetry, and support natural growth patterns.

The results?

Improved latch, better sleep, and happier, thriving babies! :two_hearts:

Early intervention matters. If you're noticing feeding difficulties or other challenges, let’s chat! Your baby deserves tailored care designed just for them.

Did you know that about 4% of babies present breech during pregnancy?

When your little one is positioned bottom-down instead of head-down, it can bring up concerns about your birthing options. But here's the good news: chiropractic care might help!

Webster Technique is a specialized method that focuses on creating balance in the pelvis and reducing tension in the uterine ligaments. This gentle, pregnancy-specific adjustment helps create optimal conditions for your baby to find their best position naturally. ✨

As a Webster Certified chiropractor, we've helped many expecting mamas by:

-Balancing pelvic muscles and ligaments
-Reducing uterine constraint
-Supporting proper nervous system function
-Creating space for optimal fetal positioning

Studies show that regular chiropractic care using the Webster Technique has helped 82% of breech babies move into a more optimal position! The earlier we start care, the better the outcome. 💫

If you're pregnant and your baby is breech, know that you have options. Schedule a consultation to learn how we can support you and your little one on this beautiful journey! 🌟

At first, little Reese was facing some tough challenges—her torticollis and feeding issues were holding her back. Her neck and jaw were so tight that she struggled to turn her head to the left, and it was only getting worse. Feeding was difficult, and even tummy time, such an important milestone, became a struggle.

Her mom shared, “She would take in so much air during feeding that she’d be uncomfortable for hours. Her neck and jaw were so tight, she couldn’t maintain a good seal, and her head would only turn one way. We tried craniosacral therapy and lactation support, but nothing seemed to help.”

That’s when everything began to change. Reese’s neurological scans revealed area of tension and stress, and with the help of chiropractic care, her journey toward wellness began. :tada: The specific, gentle adjustments, combined with exercises for strengthening her body and improving her range of motion, made a world of difference. Dr. Khan worked on her extensively on her cranial bones to bring her high palate down. Reese also had a tongue and lip tie released, which helped her feed more comfortably.
Her mom recalls the moment they realized it was all working: “She suddenly started turning her head left and right, following us during tummy time! There was less crying, less discomfort—she was more at ease.” With the combined support of chiropractic care and PT, Reese has not only overcome her challenges, but she’s thriving.

Now, her mom proudly describes her as “the happiest baby,” hitting every one of her milestones with ease. Thanks to this dedicated care, Reese has kicked torticollis to the curb, and her journey of strength, health, and joy continues. 💖

We all have seen on social media how important it is to have a proper tongue function and posture. Did you know that a lot of different muscles and nerves work together for this function to happen?

The muscles in the neck, particularly those connected to the jaw and hyoid bone, play a significant role in tongue movement and positioning. When neck muscles are tight or overstrained, it can affect how the tongue functions. Proper tongue posture—where the tongue rests on the roof of the mouth—requires coordination of these muscles. If neck alignment or muscle tension is off, it may hinder this coordination, leading to poor tongue posture, which can impact swallowing, speech, and breathing.

Dr. Khan, as a certified pediatric chiropractor, can play a role in addressing feeding issues in infants and young children, particularly when these issues are related to poor tongue posture or restricted neck movement. Conditions like oral ties or poor latch during breastfeeding may be related to restricted neck muscles, cranial tension, or jaw misalignment.

The postpartum period is one of profound change—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Chiropractic care can be an essential part of your recovery journey, helping to balance your body after the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth. By consistently receiving care, you support your body’s ability to heal from pain and discomfort in the back, hips, and pelvis, making your recovery smoother and more comfortable. AND it doesn’t stop there!

Chiropractic care also plays a crucial role in regulating your nervous system. With the emotional rollercoaster that postpartum brings, regular adjustments help balance your hormones and reduce stress and anxiety. A well-regulated nervous system means a healthier, calmer mom—and when your nervous system is in check, your baby feels that calm too.

A regulated mom creates an environment of ease, benefiting the baby’s sleep, digestion, and overall well-being. This ripple effect of wellness is what makes consistent chiropractic care so valuable for you and your little one in these early months. 🌿

Have you ever wondered how well your brain communicates with your body?

At our office, one of the key scans we use is the sEMG (Surface Electromyography) scan. This non-invasive test helps measure the muscle activity along your spine, giving us valuable insight into how well your nervous system is functioning.

By identifying areas of tension or imbalance, we can create a tailored care plan to help restore balance and ensure your brain-body connection is strong! 🌿
