It's Day 2 in our nervous system reset series and we want to talk about mornings. It doesn't have to feel like a circus act! We can rewiring calm into a chaotic nervous system!

Daily Tip:
After some pressure (see our last post) add vestibular input first thing. Have your kiddo do a few minutes of bouncing on a yoga ball, swinging in a sensory swing, or doing simple spins or somersaults. Movement charges up the brain's batteries and fuels focus. Think of it like charging their brain’s battery before school.

Welcome to our 5-day nervous system reset. We’ll walk you from morning to night with real regulation routines.Check out our daily post for helpful and easy to implement tips that will help prep your kids for back to school without tears and stress!

Daily Tip:
Start the day with some pressure! This helps to fill up a kids sensory cup and start their nervous system off grounded. Try this: bear hugs, rolling them up like a burrito in a blanket, or using a snuggling with a weighted blanket while they wake up slow. This helps their little body feel safe and grounded.

Our Story

At Ballard Family Chiropractic, we believe that health is our most valuable possession. We may not always realize, but it is a simple fact, that we experience life THROUGH our nervous system. From taste and smell, to movement and touch, every sensation and function has to be communicated from our body to our brain and vice versa. Wouldn't it be amazing to not just believe, but to actually know that communication is perfect for you or your child? We believe so, and through the incredible power of chiropractic care, we know so. That's why the care we give is different.

Everyday, more individuals and families are seeking out ways to enhance their lives naturally and are turning to a chiropractor to do so. A chiropractic lifestyle is an opportunity for you to reduce stress on your body, support healing, and optimize the communication between your brain and body, which in turn will promote greater energy and a healthier, more vital life. Now is the time to make the positive changes that will ensure your health! If you are ready to take charge of your future, get in touch with us today!
