đł Does your child startle easily, have trouble sleeping, or struggle with emotional regulation? It might be a retained Moro Reflex.
The Moro Reflexâalso known as the startle reflexâis one of the very first survival instincts weâre born with. Itâs meant to turn off by around 4 months of age. But when it doesnât? It can wreak havoc on a childâs nervous system, behavior, and development.
đ When retained, the Moro reflex can lead to:
đšSensory overload or light/sound sensitivity
đšAnxiety or constant "fight or flight" behavior
đš Poor impulse control
đšEmotional outbursts or meltdowns
đšTrouble transitioning or adapting to change
Common sleep issues with a retained (still on) Moro reflex:
đš Frequent night wakings
đš Sudden jerking awake as if startled
đš Inconsolable crying at night
đš Difficulty settling or falling asleep
đš Hypervigilant or restless sleep
đš Clinginess or separation anxiety at bedtime
â So why does it stay stuck on?
Often, it's due to birth traumaâC-section deliveries, vacuum/forceps use, fast labors, or early cord cutting can interrupt the natural integration of this reflex. That trauma locks the nervous system into survival mode.
đś This is where pediatric chiropractic care can make a huge difference.
By gently addressing spinal tension, calming the nervous system, and guiding the body out of stress mode, we create the space for reflexes to integrate naturally.
In our office, we also use primitive and postural reflex integration exercises to help your childâs brain and body reconnect, regulate, and THRIVE.
⨠Your child can grow out of this patternâwith the right support.

Is it ADHD⌠or a nervous system imbalance?
What if your childâs struggles with focus, attention, or emotional outbursts are actually a neurological issue, not a behavioral one?
Chiropractors trained in nervous system-based care look deeper â into the wiring of the brain-body connection.
When the nervous system is out of balance (think stuck in âfight or flightâ), kids often display:
⥠Hyperactivity
đŁ Sensory overload
𼺠Emotional dysregulation
đ§ Difficulty focusing
Weâve seen kids shift in powerful ways â not because we âtreat ADHDâ â but because we help balance the nervous system so their potential can shine.

Feeling tight, sore, or stuck during pregnancy?
That sharp pull in your bellyâŚ
That ache in your hips at nightâŚ
That feeling like baby just wonât get in the right positionâŚ
⨠Youâre not aloneâand thereâs something simple and powerful that can help:
Side-Lying Release (SLR)
This gentle technique is a favorite among midwives, doulas, and prenatal chiropractors because it:
â Creates space in the pelvis for baby to rotate and descend
â Relieves muscle tension and spasms
â Helps with labor stalls and irregular contractions
â Softens and supports the pelvic floor
â Reduces pain in the hips, back, and pelvis
But hereâs the secret sauce...
đ When you combine SLR with prenatal chiropractic care, you amplify the benefitsâand set yourself up for a more aligned, empowered birth experience.
đŤ If youâre pregnant and ready to feel more ease, mobility, and confidence, you donât have to figure it out alone.
đ Comment âREADYâ below and Iâll DM you a free resource + offer you a complimentary 10-minute consult to see if prenatal chiropractic care is right for you.

đ¤°âItâs just hormonesâŚâ
Thatâs what most pregnant women hear when they feel sick, exhausted, and overwhelmed.
But what if your nausea and vomiting werenât just a hormonal thingâŚ
What if your cells were trying to tell you something?
Inside your body, tiny powerhouses called mitochondria fuel the growth of your baby.
When theyâre stressed, they send a chemical signal (GDF15) that triggers nausea â not to punish you, but to protect you.
đĽ This is the root cause most providers arenât talking about.
As a prenatal chiropractor, I donât just focus on symptoms â I support your body at the foundational level so you can have a pregnancy that feels more aligned, empowered, and energized.
⨠Curious how we naturally support mitochondrial function?

đ§ ⨠âLook well to the spine for the cause of disease.â â Hippocrates
Most people don't realize thisâŚ
Your spine isn't just a stack of bonesâit's the gateway to your nervous system, your body's command center.
Every function in your bodyâdigestion, immunity, energy, sleep, moodârelies on clear communication between your brain and body.
But what happens when that communication is disrupted?
âĄď¸ Enter: subluxationâa misalignment in the spine that interferes with the nervous system and activates stress signals.
The result?
Your body shifts from ease to dis-ease⌠long before you ever feel a symptom.
We hear it all the time:
"I just bent down to grab a Lego and my back went out."
It didnât "just happen."
It was building for monthsâmaybe yearsâbelow the surface.
â The good news?
Specific, neuro-focused chiropractic care removes that interferenceâso your body can heal, adapt, and thrive.
Common results our patients experience:
⥠More energy
đ´ Better sleep
đ§ Clearer thinking
đŠ Improved digestion
đĄď¸ Stronger immunity
âŚand so much more.

Success Story
âMy son, Adrian started chiropractic care at 4 weeks of age. Although we heard of the benefits of chiropractic care, it wasnât until we saw our new born suffer from digestion and skin issues that we decided to invest in his well-being. This singlehandedly has been the most impactful and rewarding investment we could have ever made for our son. Since the start of his care, Adrian had shed all of his digestion issues and is developing beautifully. While his physical improvementsare obvious and measurable, his happy and calm demeanor is immeasurable.
At 5 months of age, Adrian knows when he is going to get adjusted and isnât shy about expressing his excitement in the process. Though the next phase in our childâs development can be daunting, teething, we know we have the best resource in the Wellness Path to surpass this phase.
We appreciate how accessible Dr. Vic is to his patients and appreciate the resources and knowledge he shares. Veronica is outstanding at all she does and appreciate the attention and effort she puts at making us feel valued. As parents we are committed to see our son receive the best and while at the Wellness Path we know that we are receiving just that. We couldnât be happier with our experience and look forward to a lifetime of care for our son.â ~ Diana E.
