Three things we believe at BFC: 1. Everyone deserves a life fully connected. 2. The nervous system is how we experience life. 3. Healthcare should focus on actual health. If you've been following along and these beliefs resonate with you—welcome. You've found your tribe. And if your family needs support navigating the holidays with more calm and less chaos, we're here.

Weekend reflection. This week we watched families learn together, saw babies find relief, helped parents understand their child's struggles weren't behavioral—they were nervous system overwhelm. And we were reminded: this is why we do what we do. Healthcare should focus on actual health. Connection matters. Everyone deserves a life fully connected. If you've been thinking about bringing your family in, now's the time. We're here Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

You know what nobody talks about? How hard the holidays are on YOUR body. The stress. The sugar. The lack of sleep. The emotional weight of making everything perfect for everyone else. Your nervous system is working overtime. And when your nervous system is overwhelmed, your body compensates. Headaches. Fatigue. Digestive issues. That tension you're holding in your shoulders. That's a subluxation talking. What if you gave yourself permission to prioritize your health this season? What if supporting your nervous system was part of your holiday prep? We got you.

Here's what most pediatricians don't know about the holidays. The sugar. The schedule changes. The overstimulation. The travel. The late nights. All of it impacts your child's nervous system. And when their nervous system is overwhelmed, everything else falls apart. Sleep. Behavior. Digestion. Mood. They don't grow out of it. They grow around it. But you can support them through it. Gentle chiropractic care helps their body find regulation even when everything around them feels chaotic. We're here through the holidays. Call or text to get your kids in before the chaos hits.

Let's talk about something no one tells you. Your entire family's health is connected—not just because you share genes, but because you share a nervous system-centered approach to wellness. When one family member's nervous system is dysregulated, it affects everyone. When Mom is stressed and her body is in fight-or-flight, the kids feel it. When a child's subluxation creates sleep struggles, the whole household suffers. But here's the good news: when you support nervous system function for the whole family, everyone benefits. That's a subluxation talking—and that's why we check the whole family.

What an incredible evening at our "Traditions That Regulate" class! To everyone who joined us—whether in person or virtually—thank you for being part of our community. Watching families learn together about nervous system health and creating new traditions reminded us exactly why we do what we do. Missed it? The principles we covered apply year-round. Text or call 217-347-5010 to schedule your family's next visit. We got you.

Here's a regulation tradition to try this week: The morning snuggle. Before the rush, before the chaos, before the demands of the day—just 5 minutes of physical connection with your child. Skin-to-skin contact. Deep breathing. Slow rhythm. No talking. No agenda. Just presence. This isn't just sweet—it's science. Physical connection regulates cortisol (stress hormone), activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest mode), and primes your child's body for a regulated day. Think of it like putting gas in the tank before a long drive. Want more traditions like this? Traditions That Regulate is TONIGHT, Dec 2 at 7pm. We're teaching you simple micro-routines that support nervous system regulation all day long. Link in bio to register.

Here's what we're grateful for: YOU. The parents who show up for their kids. The parents who ask questions. The parents who refuse to accept "they'll grow out of it." The parents who drive an hour to get answers. The parents who choose nervous system care over quick fixes. You're doing the hard work. You're advocating. You're choosing differently. And we're honored to walk this journey with you. Happy Thanksgiving from the BFC family. 💙 (We'll be closed Thursday and Friday. See you Monday!)

11/25/2025

We know Thanksgiving can be tough for families with dysregulated kids. The noise. The people. The schedule changes. The new foods. The overstimulation. It all stacks. Here's our advice: Give yourself (and your child) permission to do it differently. You don't have to stay for hours. You don't have to force hugs. You don't have to make them sit at the table if they're overwhelmed. Your child's nervous system regulation matters more than traditions that don't serve your family. Do what works for YOU. And if you need support navigating the season, we're here.

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!
