“How long does it take to reset your nervous system?”
It’s one of the most common (and honest) questions we get — especially from parents who’ve been watching their child struggle for months… or from millennial moms who are tired, overwhelmed, and running on an empty battery.
The short answer?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all timeline.
But here’s what we do know.
Your nervous system isn’t something you “reset” once.
It’s something you retrain — gently, consistently — so it stops living in survival mode and starts functioning the way it was designed to.
When a child has been stuck in chronic headaches, anxiety, ADHD patterns, emotional outbursts, immune challenges, or nonstop “fight, fight, fight”… their nervous system has been overworking for a long time. The same goes for the mom who’s been shouldering stress for years, powering through exhaustion, or feeling stuck in the same loops no matter what she tries
✨ This is why nervous system-focused chiropractic care at ACLC works so differently.
Dr. Lindsay uses a very gentle, precise approach that identifies where the system is overloaded and where communication has broken down. When those stress patterns clear, your body can finally start adapting instead of reacting.
And that’s where the timeline starts to shift.
Some people notice changes quickly — calmer moods, fewer meltdowns, better sleep, less tension, more energy.
Others, especially those who’ve been stuck in stress mode for years, need more time for their system to unwind, reconnect, and rebuild healthy patterns.
But here’s the encouraging part:
🌿 Once your nervous system starts communicating again, the changes compound.
Every adjustment builds on the last.
Every scan helps us track what’s improving.
Every step brings more regulation, resilience, and ease.
So, “How long does it take?”
As long as it takes to meet your body where it is, support it consistently, and guide it toward the calm, connected, healthy state it’s been craving.
And you don’t have to guess.
Your scans, your progress, your results — they show us exactly how your nervous system is healing along the way.
