SPOILER ALERT: The answer is the vagus nerve!! 🧠

Our kids really are sicker than ever, and no, it’s not just 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! ❤️

Dealing with constant sickness and doctors who say that nothing can be done can be overwhelming & stressful.😔

Ady’s family came to SFC looking for help and answers and we have had the great opportunity of serving this sweet family ever since!

Mom says: “We have noticed so many positive changes since beginning Ady’s treatment, which is motivating in itself. But to see Ady treated so kindly (even on days when she isn’t at her most cooperative) is very heart-warming.”💛

Ady’s mom has also noted major improvements and milestones like better sleep, less ear infections, and less sickness thanks to a neurologically-focused chiropractic care!

Go Ady!!🎉

Have you noticed your baby’s motor milestones regressing or hitting a plateau? Are they struggling to sit up, crawl, or walk despite months of traditional therapy? Does your child seem to fatigue easily, slouch constantly, and avoid physical activities altogether? We know how hard this can be!! 🥹 Many parents are left frustrated and confused when their child hits a plateau in care!

Motor milestones are just one aspect we see with regressions! For the majority of kids struggling with missed motor milestones, the real root cause goes way beyond tight muscles and a weak core and may have been originally triggered by birth interventions such as forceps, vacuum, induction, and c-section deliveries. These sorts of physically traumatic births can cause what’s called subluxation of the brainstem and upper neck regions, where all motor tone and coordination are controlled. 🧠 This will then shift the nervous system as a whole into what’s called sympathetic dominance or excessive tone. THIS is what can lead to regressions or plateaus when it comes to PT and OT! The nervous system has to be regulated first! Then other therapies can help so much more!!

Dr. Short specializes in the nervous system to get your child the exact neurologically-focused care that they need to thrive! For more information, visit the link in our bio! Or DM us! ♥️

We are blown away by the progress that Tovia has made while receiving neurologically focused chiropractic care!🎉

Mom says:

“We are thankful for Dr. Short’s excellent care for our daughter. When she was suffering sudden and alarming symptoms of dysautonomia and POTS our family doctor told us the traditional options were “underwhelming”. We discovered SFC and they approached our daughter’s issues with confidence. Dr. Short’s office sent helpful literature, started us on scans, and a plan. Within months she was functioning and thriving again. On top of Dr. Short’s excellent care, his humor and manner brighten up her day; he’s like a long lost uncle with his jokes. We highly recommend SFC!”

MEET THE DOCTOR

Dr. Scott Short grew up in a Marine Corps family on the southeastern border of Ohio. With the intention of following in his father’s footsteps, Dr. Short studied at Liberty University where he received his B.S. in Criminal Justice. After being denied military service due to scoliosis, Dr. Short met a successful chiropractor that helped him see the clinical possibilities of chiropractic care. This inspired Dr. Short to pursue his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. After graduation, Dr. Short and his family relocated to Moscow, ID to establish Short’s Family Chiropractic. His mission is to deliver the best possible care to the community. Dr. Short has had an opportunity to start his practice along side Moscow Chiropractic Clinic, Palouse Acupuncture and Lotus Transformations.

Dr. Short is a member of the International Chiropractic Association and the Idaho Association of Chiropractic Physicians. He is Advanced Certified in Torque Release Technique and primarily utilizes Palmer Package which includes Gonstead, Diversified, and Thompson techniques. He has been fortunate to have gained experience working with patients of all ages during his internship, including young children, military families, and veterans. Dr. Short is looking forward to continuing to work with families and patients of all ages.
