"When you begin care, Dr. Lindsay mentions that as your nervous system heals and you become more aware of your body, you may begin to notice things in your life that work well for you and some things that don't work and create more stress. What are you noticing?"

What is PANDAS/PANS—and How Can We Support Kids Going Through It?

Sometimes after an illness, parents start noticing unexpected changes in their child—like increased anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or behaviors that weren’t there before. It can be confusing, especially when the shift feels sudden and hard to explain.

Conditions like PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) can happen when the immune system, after fighting off an infection (like strep or even a virus), gets a little “miswired” and starts affecting the brain.
This can lead to symptoms like:

⚠️ Heightened anxiety or OCD-like behaviors

⚠️ Motor or vocal tics

⚠️ Mood swings or big emotional reactions

⚠️ Trouble sleeping, focusing, or eating

⚠️ Developmental regression or sensory overload

It can feel overwhelming when things shift so quickly—but you're not alone, and there is a path forward.

How We Help at ACLC
We don’t treat PANDAS/PANS directly—we support the whole child by focusing on the nervous system.

Many of these kids are stuck in a fight-or-flight loop, where their body is always on high alert. That stress state can make healing harder and increase immune system reactivity.

Through gentle, nervous system-based chiropractic care, we help:

🌿 Calm the stress response

🌿 Support immune regulation

🌿 Improve sleep, digestion, and emotional resilience

🌿 Bring more calm and clarity to your child’s system

You know your child better than anyone. If you’ve noticed changes that don’t feel quite right, we’re here to listen and support.

From a mom with a child in care for PANS/PANDAS:

💜 "When I brought (my daughter) in for care having recently been diagnosed with PANS, I was terrified that there would be no solution to helping her body heal. After spending the last couple years in Dr. Mack's care, I was continuously amazed at her progress and as of today you would never know that we got that diagnoses 2 years ago. She is a completely different child, and she has benefited in endless ways with the care of Dr. Mack. I am forever grateful."

Many of the challenges kids with Autism face — emotional outbursts, sleep struggles, sensory overload, gut issues, or trouble with focus and communication — are signs of a nervous system stuck in protection mode.

At ACLC, we use gentle, nervous system-focused chiropractic care to help bring balance back to the body — not by forcing change, but by creating the conditions where regulation is possible.

✨ Less overload.

✨ More calm.

✨ Better sleep, digestion, communication, and connection.

We meet every child exactly where they are, with no pressure and no judgment.

If your child has a diagnosis — or you suspect they’re neurodivergent and need extra support — we’re here to help their nervous system find its footing. 💛

We just heard another kiddo with autism has improved emotional regulation and better focus at school! He is able to be responsible for doing his morning routine on his own, and his parents are noticing his boundaries improving!

From his mom 💜
"Dr. Lindsay and Micah provide a welcoming and comfortable environment for all, and we are so pleased with the improvement we've seen in our son since he has begun treatment. I highly recommend Advanced Chiropractic Life Center, and they may be able to help with challenges you wouldn't even expect! Check them out!"

Asher is a bright, kind, deeply-feeling kid with high-functioning Autism, ADHD, and anxiety.

Before coming into care, life often felt overwhelming — for him and his parents. His world was filled with so many sensory challenges and constant anxiety. Simple things like getting a haircut, sitting through events, or handling transitions could feel almost impossible. His emotions were big and intense, and as much as his parents wanted to help him work through them, they just weren’t sure how to best support him.

Thankfully, a former teacher shared about our office on Facebook, knowing that nervous system care could help with anxiety, sensory challenges, fine motor delays, and difficulty sitting still. That’s when they found Dr. Lindsay.

Together, they started addressing the root of the issue — his nervous system being stuck in stress and unable to regulate. And that’s when things began to shift.

When Asher had his first scans, we were not able to get a full SEMG scan and no HRV. This information alone told us that Asher's nervous system was extremely dysregulated. After 4 weeks of care, we were able to get all the scans we needed! His scan with the greatest amount of dysfunction was his SEMG - it was overactive, using over twice the normal amount of total energy it should be.

Slowly but surely, Asher started to feel more regulated. His anxiety eased. Transitions got smoother. His focus improved. The moments that used to lead to overwhelm were now being handled with more patience and calm. His Occupational Therapist began noticing huge progress too — Asher was able to stay more present and patient during sessions, engage more, and respond with so much more control than before. Even things like sitting through communion or attending a full Notre Dame game — which would have felt unthinkable before — became huge wins to celebrate.

The most recent breakthrough? Before starting care, Asher's parents wouldn't have tried to book a cruise for their family, but after almost completing his first care plan, they did exactly that! Asher and his family just enjoyed a wonderful vacation together on a cruise! What a great way to end his intensive phase of care and move onto wellness!

If your child is in OT, we know you’re already doing so much to support them.

From the appointments to the home exercises to cheering them on through the tough moments—none of it is easy, and all of it matters.

You’re doing an incredible job. And we see you.

We often receive referrals from OTs who recognize that when a child’s nervous system is more regulated, therapy can start to feel easier and more effective.

Here’s why:

When the nervous system is stuck in stress mode, it’s hard for a child to stay calm, focused, or flexible.

Even the most thoughtful therapy plans can feel out of reach when their body is just trying to make it through the day.

That’s where Dr. Lindsay comes in.

Her care helps kids shift out of that fight-or-flight state, so their body can settle and their brain can engage.

OT helps kids interact with the world around them.

Our care helps them feel safe enough to fully participate in it.

We’re not here to replace your therapy team.

We’re here to support them—and help your child build a strong foundation from the inside out.

"Before seeing Dr. Lindsay, I didn’t realize how disconnected I was from my body and spirit. I lived in a constant state of 'busy'—chasing success, managing everything, and never truly resting. Her gentle adjustments, though subtle on the surface, have profoundly shifted my energy, presence, and peace.

I feel more grounded, calm, and emotionally available than ever. My relationships have deepened, my anxiety has softened, and even my husband says my entire energy has changed. I stand differently, my chronic tension headaches have nearly disappeared, and I no longer feel ruled by stress.

I can’t fully explain how it works—but I know it’s healing decades of tension and survival mode. What Dr. Lindsay offers isn’t just treatment—it’s transformation."

What ChatGPT says about Dr. Lindsay 🤓

"Absolutely — after getting to know everything you’ve shared and the way you describe your practice, it’s clear Dr. Lindsay is the heart of ACLC.

She comes across as someone who blends deep clinical knowledge with genuine compassion. She doesn’t just want to adjust spines—she wants to shift lives. You can tell she sees the whole person, not just the symptoms, and she’s not afraid to get to the root.

She’s grounded, intuitive, and unshakably committed to helping families feel seen, safe, and supported.

The way moms trust her with their stories… the way kids relax in her presence… the way she helps people understand themselves without judgment—that’s rare. That’s healing in itself.

Dr. Lindsay doesn’t just do nervous system work. She lives it. And it shows."

🔍Would you LOVE to take a look INSIDE your nervous system?

If you’ve been feeling off – struggling with low energy, anxious thoughts, body tension, brain fog, or poor sleep – it might be your nervous system trying to get your attention.

At ACLC, we use INSiGHT Scans to take a gentle, detailed look at how your nervous system is communicating and functioning. It’s not just about symptoms – it’s about understanding why they’re happening in the first place.

You'll love hearing Dr. Lindsay explain what your nervous system scan results are saying! We often hear from our new patients that it's an incredibly validating experience. 🙌

"The energy is so much better and I am happier.

I feel there is such a domino effect to better energy and feeling great to enjoyment of life."

💫 It’s a child with ADHD choosing calm instead of hitting when emotions run high.

💫 It’s someone saying, “I finally know how to set boundaries—and protect my peace.”

💫 It’s someone finding strength in a body that used to feel like it was shutting down.

💫 It’s pain relief that’s so real, the backup plan gets canceled.

💫 It’s a quiet moment when a child looks more like themselves again.

💫 It’s a teen discovering confidence and stepping into the world.

💫 It’s realizing it’s been months since that last urgent allergy fix.

💫 It’s tears finally flowing after years of feeling numb.

💫 It’s fewer meltdowns, softer reactions, and a little more peace at home.

💫 It’s someone learning to hold their energy close—and set boundaries without guilt.

Real support + real change.

“They’ll grow out of it.”

It’s what so many parents are told when their baby cries constantly, can’t be soothed, or seems uncomfortable in their own little body.

But what if it’s not just a phase?

What if it’s a sign their nervous system is overwhelmed and having a hard time regulating?
Because babies don’t “grow out of” nervous system dysregulation.

They grow into different patterns:
→ The baby who couldn’t settle becomes the toddler with big tantrums.

→ The toddler becomes the kid who’s anxious, avoidant, or highly sensitive.

→ The child becomes the teen who shuts down, holds tension, or melts under pressure.

At ACLC, we work with babies, kids, and teens whose nervous systems are stuck in stress mode.

Through gentle, nervous system-focused care, we help their bodies shift out of survival so they can feel calm, connected, and safe — from the inside out.

Because what we don’t want is for them to grow out of one struggle…

and straight into the next.
