"Your pregnancy symptoms are completely normal."
How many times have you heard that? 😭 Morning sickness, back pain, stress, and fatigue don't have to be "just part of pregnancy." You feel miserable and stressed, and wonder if this is really how pregnancy should feel.

Here's something you might not know. The umbilical cord is actually your baby's neurological power cord, directly connecting YOUR stressed nervous system to your developing baby's developing nervous system! When you're stuck in "fight or flight" mode from pregnancy stress, those signals are being transmitted straight to your little one. 😰

If you're dealing with severe fatigue, anxiety, or pregnancy pains, your nervous system is screaming "STRESS!" And guess what? Your baby is feeling every bit of that through this neurological connection.

You've probably tried everything to feel better during pregnancy - ginger for nausea, special pillows for back pain, meditation apps for anxiety. But if you're still struggling, it might be because you're only addressing the signs instead of the real root cause. 🤔
The truth is, those "normal" pregnancy traits are red flags 🚩 that your nervous system needs support! When we help regulate mom's nervous system through Neurologically-Focused Prenatal Chiropractic Care, both mom AND baby benefit enormously.

This isn't just about feeling better during pregnancy (though you absolutely will). It's about giving your baby the best possible start in life by optimizing the neurological foundation they're building from day one. 🫶

The story we are seeing all too often! 😥 From fertility struggles to birth trauma to ADHD and worn-out teens. It's the story we need to change, and it starts before birth. When mom takes care of her nervous system during pregnancy, baby's nervous system also receives the benefits! How? Because mom's nervous system is the blueprint for baby! So, even when we do have to go through a stressful event like fertility challenges or a c-section, our baby will be able to adapt even better if their nervous system is resilient and ready to take on whatever life throws at them! ❤️ To read more, visit the link below!!

🤰 “I was trying not to get sick from simply moving around…”

This mama experienced extreme nausea 🤢 during both pregnancies — but the second time around was especially hard while also caring for a toddler. She described it as feeling hopeless... like it was never going to end.

So she sought care from PWC in hopes that it would bring her some much-needed relief!

She said, “The office staff was so kind and caring when they would see me. They showed a lot of empathy, which made me feel seen and cared for, while I personally felt like death.” 💀

As the doctors focused on helping her body balance out and calm her stomach through gentle, neurologically-focused adjustments, the ‘feeling like death’ turned to getting life back again!

The daily vomiting stopped, and she FINALLY started to feel like herself again. 🎉
Now, both Ellyn and her daughter look forward to their continued adjustments to keep them thriving and healthy! Her daughter ‘just loves them,’ she says!

Click PLAY to find out more about how prenatal chiropractic can help you along your pregnancy journey! 😍

Pregnancy is supposed to be a beautiful season, but instead, so many moms feel exhausted, nauseous, anxious, and in pain. Your doctor may say it’s “normal”… but what if it’s actually a red flag from your nervous system?

Here’s what every expecting mom needs to know:
🧠 The umbilical cord is more than nutrients, it is a connection point where baby receives all of mom’s stress hormones too!
🚨 Common pregnancy struggles like fatigue, heartburn, and back pain could be signs of a stressed, dysregulated nervous system, not just something to suffer through.
📊 Heart Rate Variability and INSiGHT Scans can actually measure nervous system stress during pregnancy, giving us answers that traditional prenatal care misses.
👏 Neurologically-Focused Prenatal Chiropractic helps shift you out of “fight or flight” into “rest, digest, and grow” mode, which could help improve sleep, digestion, energy, mood, setting the best foundation for your baby.

Your pregnancy doesn’t have to feel like a struggle. Let’s get to the root cause and help you enjoy this journey while giving your baby the strongest start possible. Click the link below to learn more about prenatal chiropractic care and our Neurological INSiGHT Scans! 🤩

Milestone timing and neurological function are two completely different things. 🤯 Your baby can hit every milestone "on schedule" while still having significant nervous system dysfunction that could affect their future.

Your traditional pediatrician might spend 10 minutes checking if your baby can roll, sit, crawl, and walk within broad timeframes. But are they assessing cross-pattern neural development? Nervous system coordination? Subluxation interference?
Autonomic function balance? They may be missing this! (Unless you're seeing the rare kind of pediatrician that looks at the whole child and digs deeper...shout out to those awesome ones!! Special Shoutout to our local favorite, ❤

Unfortunately, here's what we're seeing: during birth, interventions like forceps, vacuum delivery, and C-sections can create neurological stress. Add prenatal stress and environmental toxins, and you've got "The Perfect Storm" that can overwhelm your baby's developing nervous system. These factors don't show up on standard milestone checks, but they profoundly impact how your baby's brain and body function.

During your baby's first year, their brain doubles in size and forms over 1 million neural connections every second. Making this the most critical period for neurological development they'll ever experience. The first year represents the greatest neuroplasticity your child will ever have. This is when the gentle, effective Neurologically-Focused Care our office provides can create lasting positive change. 🫶

The first year of life is the most important for your baby’s brain and nervous system development.

09/24/2025

Did you know your baby’s brain will double in size in the first year of life, forming over 1 million neural connections every second?

That makes this the most critical period for neurological development they’ll ever experience. But here’s the problem ⤵️
Most pediatric care only checks if milestones are being hit “on time”... not if your baby’s nervous system is actually functioning and developing the way it should!

Hit play on this video and you’ll learn:
1. Why feeding, sleeping, and movement struggles aren’t “just phases” 🚼
2. How The Perfect Storm of stressors can disrupt neurodevelopment 🌪️
3. The hidden neurological meaning behind key milestones like breastfeeding + crawling 🤱
4. How gentle INSiGHT Scans show exactly what’s going on in your baby’s nervous system 📊

If your parent gut tells you something isn’t quite right, trust it. The first year is too important to “wait and see.” Click the link below to learn more about supporting your baby’s neurological foundation from the very beginning. 💛
