Hey parents. Does your child struggle with sleeping? Weâre not only talking about the type where they are tossing and turning from an intense nightmare, but the kind that escalates to characteristics such as screaming, thrashing, and being unable to snap out of it?! Maybe you feel like thereâs more to it than a scary nightmare. âĄď¸
Well parents, youâre right.âIt sounds like your little one is struggling with night terrors. đ¤ During these sleepless episodes, kiddos may exhibit distinctive behaviors, such as shouting, flailing, or appearing agitated. đŁ Your tiny toddler may seem inconsolable and unresponsive to comfort from even the ones who are closest to them.
As parents, itâs important to understand that night terrors can temporarily distress and confuse your child. đ They may feel scared or anxious even after the episode has passed. Itâs essential to offer comfort and reassurance during these moments. đ¤ Itâs natural to feel helpless or worried about your childâs well-being, which is why Well Family Chiropractic is here to help. âŹď¸
Traditional medicine may teach certain techniques to help your child or prescribe medication đ that helps them sleep. As Neurologically-Based Pediatric Chiropractors, đ§ instead of treating the night terror, we dig deep to find the root cause as to why these events are happening by using your toddlerâs history and neurological scans. These scans will help find out if subluxation and dysautonomia could be the root cause of your childâs challenges all along.
Using this information, our doctors will create a customized care plan for your toddler. Our very first goal with care is to activate the parasympathetic nervous system đ§ and vagus nerve, getting the ârest + digestâ system back online. Which in turn also finally begins to slow down and lessen the sustained sympathetic fight or flight mode children struggling with night terrors are most commonly stuck in. đĄ
