We live in a world of instant gratification, but our children's brains weren't designed for 2026's dopamine levels.
When a child's brain is overstimulated, the Prefrontal Cortex—the part responsible for impulse control and calmness—literally loses its "power." It’s like a circuit breaker tripping. When that center goes offline, impulsivity and a lack of focus take over. 📉
Chiropractic is the "Manual Override." 🚀
Research shows that the chiropractic adjustment has a profound effect on the Prefrontal Cortex. We are helping to "re-power" the executive center, allowing your child to regain their focus, their patience, and their personality.
We aren't treating a label; we are optimizing the Master Controller.

Stop blaming the "behavior." Start looking at the hardware. 🧠🚫
Most parents are trapped in a cycle of "managing" symptoms. You’re told it’s ADHD, sensory processing, or just a "difficult phase." But what if it’s actually a glitch in the brain’s foundational software?
Think of your child’s brain like a house. Most therapies are trying to paint the walls or fix the roof, but if the basement is flooding, the rest doesn't matter.
We’re talking about Primitive Reflexes. These are survival loops that should have integrated (turned off) in infancy. When they stay "ON," your child is essentially trying to do 5th-grade math while their nervous system thinks they’re being chased by a predator.
Take the "Wiggler" (Spinal Galant Reflex). It’s not that they won't sit still—it’s that their brain is physically incapable of it. They are paying a "Neurological Debt" every single day just to stay upright.
The good news? You don't have to just "manage" it. You can clear the static.
By integrating these reflexes through neuro-focused chiropractic care, we help the brain finally "level up" to the version it was meant to be.

"He just needs to focus." "She'll grow out of it."
As a pediatric chiropractor, these are the two most dangerous phrases I hear. 🛑
Children don't grow out of neurological imbalances; they compensate for them. This creates "Neurological Debt"—a state where a child uses 90% of their brain power just to sit still, leaving only 10% for learning.
If your child is struggling with focus, fidgeting, or anxiety, it might be a "glitch" in their foundation—specifically, unintegrated primitive reflexes like the Moro or Spinal Galant.

Most people think of the spine as a way to stand up straight. But in the world of functional neurology, we see it as the Primary Data Feed for the human brain. 📡
Your brain is constantly "feeding" on the information it receives from your body. This input is called Proprioception. It is the essential "Brain Food" that allows you to grow, learn, and adapt to your environment.
The Shocking Truth: 70% of that total input comes from your spine alone. 🦴
When your spine is restricted or "stuck," you aren't just losing mobility—you are starving your brain of the data it needs to function at its peak. This is why chiropractic is the foundation of a healthy life, from newborns to adults.
At The Wellness Path, we ensure your brain-body circuit is wide open. Because a well-fed brain is a resilient brain. 🕊️

It’s easy to think that overstimulation only happens in the mind. But as a pediatric chiropractor, I see it show up in the body every single day.
Think of each vertebra in your child's spine as a dimmer switch. When the brain is overloaded—constantly firing those dopamine responses and shutting down the "logic center"—it affects the tone of the entire spine. 📉
The result? The "Static Noise" Effect. Instead of healthy movement (Proprioception) feeding the brain, the spine starts producing Nociception. This is like a constant, high-pitched static noise playing in their nervous system. No wonder they can't focus or settle down!
At The Wellness Path, we specialize in clearing that static. We help reset those dimmer switches so your child's brain can finally "hear" their body again. 🕊️

Why We Don't Rush the "Neuro-Reset" Process 🕊️🧠
One of the most powerful things we do at The Wellness Path is help kids build their "Brake Pedal"—technically known as the parasympathetic nervous system.
In today’s overstimulated world, many kids have a nervous system that is perpetually stuck on the gas. They are reactive, they are tired, and they are overwhelmed. Our goal with every adjustment is to slowly, methodically build up their ability to calm themselves from the inside out.
But here is the catch: You can’t rush biology. ⏳
I tell parents all the time that every kiddo is a unique puzzle. Some systems respond in a month; others take six months. It doesn't matter how long it takes—what matters is that we are doing the deep work behind the scenes to change their baseline for the rest of their lives. 🚀
We aren't looking for a "quick fix" for a symptom; we are looking for a total shift in their quality of life.

The Most Potent "Brain Food" Ever... 🧠✨
Your child’s body always wants to heal. It always wants to grow. But in today's world, the "inputs" they are getting are often mismatched with what their nervous system actually needs.
As I shared in our latest workshop, we have the power to break the pattern of overstimulation. When we combine Heavy Work (like pushing, pulling, or jumping) with Chiropractic Care, we create a foundation of resilience that is unmatched.
Why does this work? Chiropractic is the only thing that addresses the totality of the nervous system's tone. It allows the brain to receive information clearly, without the "static" of stress. When you add heavy work on top of that, you are feeding the brain the high-quality data it needs to ground itself.
This is how we help kids in Knoxville, Maryville, and Morristown move out of "survival mode" and into their full potential. 🎈

I have a conversation with patients often where they say, "Hey Doc, the pain is gone, so I think I'm done."
It’s an honest mistake, but it comes from a misunderstanding of what we actually do here. If we only used chiropractic to treat back pain or neck pain, we would be ignoring the most powerful part of the practice.
Chiropractic is for the totality of the system. 🚀
Whether we are working with an adult with chronic stress or a neurodivergent child struggling with regulation, we aren't "treating" the label. There isn't an adjustment for autism, just like there isn't an adjustment for a backache.
Instead, we look at the whole person. We understand that when the nervous system is clear of interference, the body has the innate ability to heal itself from the inside out.
That is what true holistic practitioners do. We don't look at the part; we look at the whole.

Want a calmer child? Give them some "Heavy Work." 🧺💪
Ever wondered why your child seems "wired" after the screen goes off? Their brain is starving for input—but not the digital kind.
The secret is Proprioception. In our world, we call this "Good Brain Food." 🧠🥑
When your child does "Heavy Work"—pushing a weighted basket, bear crawling, or jumping—they are sending a surge of thick data to their nervous system. This input acts like an anchor, grounding them back to reality and calming the "fight or flight" response. ⚓️
Try this transition hack: After the screen goes off, have them do 5 minutes of heavy work. In our house, we put two 5lb dumbbells in a toy shopping cart and go for a walk. 🛒🏋️♀️
The result? Better regulation, a calmer nervous system, and a child who can actually transition to sleep without the battle.
Have you tried "Heavy Work" with your little one yet? 📥 SAVE this for the next time the tablet turns off.
🔗 LINK IN BIO: If your child struggles to regulate even with these tools, it might be time for a nervous system scan at our Knoxville, Maryville, or Morristown offices.

Are you suffering from "Digital Dementia"? 📱🧠
In 2026, we are bombarded with 300% more sensory input than we were just a decade ago. Our "Ancient Software" brains are trying to keep up with AI-speed connection, and it’s leading to a massive spike in burnout, brain fog, and emotional reactivity.
I just hosted our first Workshop of 2026, and the feedback was incredible. We talked about the "Open Loop Phenomenon"—that feeling of never being fulfilled or finished, no matter how much you do. I see this in the moms I work with (who make 35,000 decisions a day!) and the business owners I coach.
What we cover in the workshop:
🔹 Neuro-Sovereignty: How to have authority over your own health.
🔹 The "Bouncer" of the Brain: Fixing sensory gating so you aren't overwhelmed by the noise.
🔹 The Master Controller: Why your nervous system is the architect of your entire life.
Stop surviving and start optimizing. You were designed to heal.

It takes exactly 72 hours to "reset" your child’s brain. ⏱️🧠
If you’ve noticed your child is more irritable, struggles to focus, or has a total meltdown the second the tablet is turned off—their dopamine receptors might be "downregulated."
Translation? Their brain has become less sensitive to the world around them because screens are providing an artificial "high." 📉
The Solution: The 3-Day Digital Fast. 📵
Here is the science: It takes about 72 hours for those dopamine receptors to begin to upregulate (become sensitive again). This isn't just about "less" screen time—it’s about a total pause to allow the nervous system to find its baseline reset.
Is it going to be a struggle? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
When you rebalance the brain, you see more eye contact, better regulation, and a child who can finally engage with the real world again. 🌳✨
Who’s brave enough to try a digital fast this weekend? 🙋♂️ 📥 SAVE this to remember the 72-hour rule. 🔗 LINK IN BIO: If your child is still struggling even after a reset, their nervous system might be "stuck." Let’s look at the wiring together.

Why Your Health is More Than a "Checklist" of Symptoms 📋❌
In the medical world, we are taught to think in segments. You take this for that, and that for this. But your body doesn't work in silos—it works as one, beautiful, interconnected system.
As I explain in the video, Chiropractic is not a treatment. I want to be very clear about that. We don’t treat "things." We help improve the communication between your brain and your body. 🗣️🧠
Think about how you feel when there is a miscommunication in your house. You feel tense, right? Your heart rate might even spike. That is exactly what happens inside your body when you have a subluxation. It’s a subtle, constant state of "internal argument" that keeps you from feeling calm and at ease.
Our goal at The Wellness Path is to remove that interference. When your brain and body can talk to each other without static, your body knows exactly what to do to heal itself.

Success Story
“My son, Adrian started chiropractic care at 4 weeks of age. Although we heard of the benefits of chiropractic care, it wasn’t 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 isn’t shy about expressing his excitement in the process. Though the next phase in our child’s 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 couldn’t be happier with our experience and look forward to a lifetime of care for our son.” ~ Diana E.
