This incredible mama and her husband faced unexpected challenges trying to conceive their second child, bringing a level of stress and uncertainty they hadn’t anticipated. On top of that, life with a toddler is busy and demanding! But they held tight to their dream of growing their family even more! 🙏

Chiropractic care had always been their foundation for health, but this journey showed them just how vital it was to lean into it even more. They increased their visits, focusing on re-regulating their nervous systems and supporting the whole body’s healing. 💪🏻

Megan said, “Chiropractic is at the center of everything we do. Sick? Go to the chiropractor. Growth spurt? Go to the chiropractor! So this was just another time where chiropractic and this community are where we go!”

With consistent chiropractic care playing an important role to balance her nervous system and reduce stress, they were able to conceive naturally, bringing hope and joy after months of struggle. 🎉

Today, they’re celebrating a thriving 15-month-old son and a beautiful, empowered home birth experience. Megan says the best part wasn’t just the birth, it was feeling strong, connected, and fully confident in her body every step of the way. Having the right team and chiropractic care made all the difference. It wasn’t just health care; it was being part of a community that walked alongside her through every challenge and every victory. ❤️

This story isn’t just about one baby; it’s about trusting your body, leaning on your village, and believing in the miracle of what’s possible when you’re supported in the right way. 🫶

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.

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 can 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!

Wondering what it looks like to get your child started under care? 🤓

Your child’s first visit includes a free consultation for you and Dr. David, diving deep into your child’s health history, birth story, struggles and setting goals!

Then we perform a functional exam, and get your kiddo scanned with our nervous system scanning technology called Insight Scans! These scans tell us exactly how your child’s nervous system is doing, how overwhelmed or exhausted it is, and where exactly they are experiencing the most dysfunction so we know what to focus on, down to the T(or L or C 😅) They are painless, non-invasive and only take about 10-12 minutes!

Then during your Report of Findings, Dr. David reviews all of this with you in depth, and presents a personalized care plan based on the goals you’ve set for your child.

But it doesn’t stop there - how we adjust, how often, and where are all determined by your child’s nervous system and mom and dad’s daily feedback!

Every single part of their care is intentional and specific. 👏

Reportedly 40% of children today suffer from chronic health conditions, 📈 and many of these connect 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 aren’t getting to the root 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 our Compassion fam and digging deep into root causes with you! ❤️

Let’s talk vagus nerve!! 🧠🤓

Our kids really are sicker than ever, and we can’t just say it’s 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! ❤️

In just 1-2 generations, rates of chronic illness in kids have been rising quickly to troubling levels and parents rightfully so want answers. What we see clinically at Compassion, is when a child’s nervous system is overstressed and out of balance, they often begin to struggle with early childhood health issues like colic, constipation, eczema, ear infections, and so forth. With a stressed nervous system, kids don’t really “grow out of” these challenges – but instead they can “grow into” things like sensory challenges, autism, ADHD, asthma, anxiety and allergies.

We call this predictable pattern The Perfect Storm: 🌪️
1️⃣ Fussy, colicky, constipated, sleep-challenged infant 
2️⃣ Sensory, constantly sick, challenging baby to toddler stage (often meaning antibiotics and steroid-based anti-inflammatory medications for recurring illnesses) 
3️⃣ Constantly wound up, sensory overwhelmed, hyperactive, impulsive, emotional child 
4️⃣ Focus, concentration, organization, social, and emotional regulation challenged grade school child 
5️⃣ Exhausted, Angry, Anxious, Depressed Teenager 

To get our kids healthy, addressing the root is so important so we can help them get better for good!

Many parents struggle to find a doctor who listens and understands what they’re going through and to find effective solutions that align with their values and beliefs without resorting to medications or therapies with unwanted side effects. 

If you want to learn more about the links between chronic illness and nervous system dysfunction in our kids today, we would love for you to join us at our Perfect Storm Workshop next Tuesday at 6:30pm! Dr. David will dive deep and give hope, answers and help that parents deserve.

There’s also free dinner, so be sure to reserve your spot on our website!
