Did you know your body experiences one of the most dramatic hormonal shifts possible within 24 hours after birth? It’s literally like falling off a hormonal cliff! 😳 And yet, most postpartum care consists of just a single 6-week checkup that barely scratches the surface of what your body is experiencing.

While everyone focuses on your baby (as they should!), who’s focusing on YOU, mama? 🤱 The reality is that the postpartum period should be cared for as a year-long OR MORE recovery, not a brief afterthought to pregnancy.

Something else not enough people talk about is how your nervous system directly influences your baby through co-regulation. When your nervous system is balanced, your baby benefits too! When you’re stuck in “fight or flight” mode, both of you struggle. 👶

There are so many amazing reasons and benefits to continue your chiropractic journey after baby arrives for both you and baby!!

🤰 Restoring proper pelvic function after the physical demands of pregnancy and birth

🤰 Reducing neurotension in the upper cervical spine to improve vagus nerve function and parasympathetic tone

🤰 Enhancing nervous system communication to support hormone balance and regulation

🤰 Improving sleep quality and duration through better autonomic balance

🤰 Supporting proper muscle engagement for core recovery and reduced back pain

🤰 Promoting optimal breast tissue drainage and nerve supply for breastfeeding

🤰 Support co-regulation

Birth itself exerts extraordinary pressure on both your body and your baby’s, which is why we love taking care of moms during such a special time! It also happens to be one of the most important times for you to take care of yourself, too! You deserve this, Momma. Let’s keep taking care of you after the baby arrives!

Up to 50% of children today suffer from chronic health conditions, 📈 and many of these connect directly to vagus nerve dysfunction.

When your child’s vagus nerve isn’t functioning properly, their body gets stuck in “fight or flight” mode, unable to switch over to “rest, digest, and heal” functions needed for their development and health. 😅 The vagus nerve influences EVERYTHING from digestion and immunity to emotional regulation and behavior. This explains why you might see your kiddo struggling with a lot of things all at the same time! 😖

The conventional medical system rarely assesses vagus nerve function, instead prescribing different medications for each struggle they are experiencing. Even in the natural health world, practitioners often miss this critical piece, focusing on endless supplements, elimination diets, and therapies that don’t get to the root cause of vagus nerve dysfunction. 😫 When we address the root cause first, we see all those other awesome additions work so much better!!

We love taking care of The Well fam and digging deep into the root cause with you! ❤️

SPOILER ALERT: The answer is the vagus nerve!! 🧠

Our kids really are sicker than ever, and no, it’s not just genetics or bad luck! There are serious stressors that our kids are going through... More than any of us ever experienced! It’s early life stress, toxins, traumas... And a nervous system that gets stuck in stress mode, or what we call sympathetic dominance.

Swipe through this carousel post and read the article in our bio for more information on what happens when the vagus nerve isn’t functioning the way it should be... AND HOW WE CAN HELP! ❤️

Calling all Moms and Dads!! 📣 And their adrenals! 😜 You deserve to experience the sustained energy needed not just to survive parenting, but to truly enjoy it!!

Research tells us parental burnout affects almost a quarter of parents, creating measurable physiological changes that directly impact energy. But we don't really need the research because we see it every day at The Well!

Your exhaustion isn't a caffeine deficiency. 😅
Your nervous system is stuck in 'sympathetic dominance', preventing proper rest, recovery, and energy regulation. The vagus nerve (your body's relaxation pathway) becomes suppressed, creating a vicious cycle where your brain and body can't properly communicate about energy needs. This explains why you feel simultaneously anxious AND exhausted... your nervous system is literally working against you!

Exhausted parents in our office show clear signs of nervous system dysregulation! At The Well, we use specialized neurological scans to identify these patterns and create personalized care plans that address the ROOT CAUSE of your exhaustion. DM us if you're ready to start feeling like yourself again!! 💪

"Everything was going so well, and now suddenly we're seeing no progress at all..." 😫

That plateau in your child's healing journey is often part of the process! 🧠 Research shows us that the brain's neuroplasticity enables it to reorganize pathways, form new connections, and, in certain instances, even generate new neurons. "Two steps forward, one step back" pattern is your child's nervous system reorganizing for deeper, lasting change!

When neurological progress seems to stall or even regress, it's usually because of one of these five common factors:

1️⃣ Growth Spurts: Your child's body is diverting energy to physical development

2️⃣ Immune Challenges: Even minor illnesses temporarily shift resources to healing

3️⃣ Environmental Factors: Toxins, mold, and even seasonal changes can impact progress

4️⃣ Emotional Stress: Major transitions or family changes activate the stress response

5️⃣ Therapy Overload: Too many interventions at once can overwhelm the nervous system

What looks like "no progress" is actually your child's nervous system working harder than ever beneath the surface! 💪

We understand how hard plateaus in care can be when you've done so much for your child and you want the progress to be faster!! Just remember, the neurological healing journey isn't a straight line; it's more like a rollercoaster with its twists and turns. 🫣 BUT each plateau is just laying the foundation for the next breakthrough! We got this!! 🫶

Have you noticed your baby's motor milestones regressing or hitting a plateau?

Are they struggling to sit up, crawl, or walk despite months of traditional therapy? Does your child seem to fatigue easily, slouch constantly, and avoid physical activities altogether? We know how hard this can be!! 🥹 Many parents are left frustrated and confused when their child hits a plateau in care!

Motor milestones are just one aspect we see with regressions! For the majority of kids struggling with missed motor milestones, the real root cause goes way beyond tight muscles and a weak core and may have been originally triggered by birth interventions such as forceps, vacuum, induction, and c-section deliveries. These sorts of physically traumatic births can cause what’s called subluxation of the brainstem and upper neck regions, where all motor tone and coordination are controlled. 🧠 This will then shift the nervous system as a whole into what’s called sympathetic dominance or excessive tone. THIS is what can lead to regressions or plateaus when it comes to PT and OT! The nervous system has to be regulated first! Then other therapies can help so much more!!

At The Well our doctors specialize in the nervous system to get your child the exact neurologically-focused care that they need to thrive! For more information, visit the link in our bio! Or DM us! ♥️
