🚨 Parents, this might surprise you…
Your child’s nervous system controls everything—from digestion and sleep to mood and focus. But most parents don’t realize how much it affects their daily health and development.
Here are 5 things we tell parents all the time ⬇️
👉 1. Only 10% of your child’s nervous system feels pain.
The other 90% controls digestion, sleep, immune function, and emotional regulation—so when something’s off, it might not show up as pain but as other challenges.
👉 2. Birth can put up to 60 lbs of pressure on a baby’s spine.
Even a ‘smooth’ birth can cause stress on the nervous system, leading to colic, reflux, latching issues, or sleep struggles.
👉 3. Ear infections and digestive issues can be nerve-related.
If the spine is out of alignment, it can interfere with how the brain communicates with the body—impacting the immune system, gut function, and more.
👉 4. Kids’ nervous systems are constantly developing.
The brain and spinal cord control every milestone—crawling, walking, speech, and learning—so proper alignment during these early years is crucial.
👉 5. Behavioral and sensory issues often have a physical root cause.
If your child’s nervous system is in ‘fight or flight’ mode, it can affect focus, sleep, emotions, and energy levels. Chiropractic care helps restore balance.
If any of this sounds familiar, we’d love to help. Drop a ❤️ in the comments or message us ‘KIDS’ to learn how gentle chiropractic care supports their development!
