💫 Emily's Story 💫
From daily migraines and severe exhaustion…

Emily’s journey through depression, fatigue, multiple medications and years of being dismissed by doctors took a powerful turn when she found neurologically-based chiropractic care at True North. She didn’t just get relief, she found hope. 🙌

Here's a statistic that should get every parent's attention: In 2022, an additional 1 million U.S. children received an ADHD diagnosis compared to 2016. Sensory processing challenges now affect nearly 1 in 6 children. Yet most doctors are still approaching these conditions the same way they did 20 years ago, focusing on managing the symptoms instead of addressing the root cause.

What if we told you there's a completely different approach that's helping children not just survive the school year, but actually thrive? Read more in our weekly blog post! 👇

Understanding the Real Root Cause of ADHD and SPD School Struggles

Ok, everyone, stay calm!! This is not a drill... back-to-school season is coming! 🚌

We have been cherishing lazy mornings and having a break from any school struggles, so back to school might bring up different emotions in your house, thinking of the possibilities of another hard school year. 😖 Something most parents don't realize is that your child's back-to-school struggles are signs of an overwhelmed nervous system that's been stuck in survival mode. 🧠

If your mornings are filled with meltdowns, your evenings with homework battles, and your nights worrying about tomorrow being the same thing all over again, let's make a change for your family this school year!! Here are 5️⃣ things you can start right now to take this school year down a better path!!

1️⃣ Gradually Reset Sleep Schedules
2️⃣ Create an Organized Home Environment
3️⃣ Set Up a Distraction-Free Study Space
4️⃣ Prioritize Morning Exercise and Physical Activity
5️⃣ Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care

At True North, we're specifically trained to find the root cause so your child doesn't have to continue struggling through another school year. When you're making your back-to-school appointments, let's address the nervous system FIRST, so everything else falls into place naturally. 👏

Pregnancy brain is real, and we got you, Momma!! Pregnancy is a time when your nervous system needs extra support for so many reasons!! It's the reason we always get a fresh set of scans when we find out the exciting news, so we can support you best through so many changes happening all at once!! Let's talk about why 👇

Along with the extra nervous system support, check out the article at the link in our bio to learn more about the science behind pregnancy brain and how to use chiropractic to support you through it!

🤰 Research has shown these cognitive changes aren’t just subjective experiences—they correspond to actual structural and functional alterations in the brain.

🤰 A study followed women through pregnancy and found significant reductions in gray matter volume that persisted for at least two years postpartum.

🤰 Pregnancy triggers changes in the brain’s functional network, the neural circuit that’s active when our minds are at rest.

🤰 A stressed out mom during pregnancy leads to moms stuck in sympathetic dominance—essentially living with the “gas pedal” pressed down while your “brake pedal” becomes less responsive...and making pregnancy brain even worse.

Many women enter pregnancy with their nervous systems already needing some TLC due to modern life stressors. Which is another reason we recommend extra support during this special time!! We are so excited to work together to make this the pregnancy of your dreams!!

Got us all crying over here!! 😭 Do you want the science to mom and pregnancy brain too?!

MRI studies have shown real, lasting changes in brain structure within the grey matter that support emotional connection, bonding, and caregiving. These brain changes are designed for a reason... To put your baby first.

Here's the kicker. These changes shouldn't be so drastic that you feel like you can't function or are forgetting literally everything! If you feel this way, then your nervous system was most likely already stressed before or during pregnancy, and these adaptations can feel more like burnout. 😫

At True North, we use advanced Neurological INSiGHT Scans to measure how your nervous system is truly functioning and create care plans that help calm and clear the fog, and give you the clarity (and energy!) you’ve been craving. 💛

This care helps support the changes your brain is going through! How cool is that?! To learn more, visit the link in our bio!

When a child’s nervous system is stuck in stress mode (dysregulated), it doesn’t just affect their mood or focus, it can affect every system in the body.

▶️ Gut issues?
▶️ Immune challenges?
▶️ Speech delays?
▶️ Sensory overload?
▶️ Big emotional reactions?

Here's the truth most doctors never explain: when stress builds up it can leave your child's nervous system stuck in survival mode. Imagine trying to function when your alarm system is constantly going off. Or when you're trying to get something done and your kids are asking you 198,654,987,378 questions. 😂🤣 That's what life feels like right now for a kiddo with nervous system dysregulation! 🚨

▶ You've tried behavior modifications, but their nervous system is too overwhelmed to respond properly
▶ You've changed their diet, but their "fight or flight" mode disrupts digestion
▶ You've done therapies, but the underlying neurological dysfunction remains unaddressed so it's not helping

This is why so many families feel stuck in an exhausting cycle, seeing temporary improvements but never getting to the real root cause. When we calm and coordinate the nervous system, everything else can start to improve. 🎉

We promise it's not just us with some crazy chiro loving advice 😜 but backed by science!! Check out the articles to learn more and details to take those next steps at the link below!!

Over 40% of kids today are already struggling with a chronic illness. That stat should stop us in our tracks. But instead of slowing down and looking for a root cause, most families are told to manage it, medicate it, and move on. 😭

Something we're discovering is that most chronic illnesses don’t start in the gut, lungs, or immune system… They start with a dysregulated nervous system. 🧠

The nervous system controls everything from digestion, focus, emotions, immunity, sleep, growth… You name it. When it’s stuck in stress mode (“fight or flight”), the rest of the body can’t do its job, and symptoms begin to pile up. 😭

At True North Chiropractic, we use Neurologically-Focused Care to help restore regulation, connection, and healing from the inside out. You don’t have to settle for symptom-chasing, and you definitely don’t have to do this alone. 🫶 We’re here to walk with you, every step of the way.
