Stress gets a bad rap as always being negative, but certain types of stress are actually necessary for building a strong, resilient nervous system! 🧠

But chronic stress? That’s what’s behind the anxiety, meltdowns, and focus challenges so many kids and parents alike face today.

Bad stress can look like:
☹️ Family conflict or instability
☹️ Academic pressure beyond developmental readiness
☹️ Overscheduling without adequate downtime
☹️ Sensory overload from excessive screen time or noisy environments
☹️ Unaddressed health challenges like food sensitivities or sleep conditions
☹️ Traumatic experiences or significant life changes

Good stress can look like:
😊 Learning challenging new skills
😊 Navigating social challenges
😊 Engaging in moderate physical exertion
😊 Solving challenges that stretch cognitive abilities
😊 Experiencing disappointments that teach emotional regulation

One of our favorite things is to help support families during life’s challenges and keep their nervous system strong during periods of too much stress!! 💪

It’s no secret that we take care of superheroes 🦸🏽🦸🏻‍♀️

💪🏼With consistent care we were able to celebrate so many superpowers hinder by a stuck/ stressed out nervous system 🧠

Now, let’s talk motor control/coordination and how chiropractic care is vital role to help your child…

😧Motor control issues affect many children, impacting their ability to perform everyday tasks and hindering their overall development.

🧠At the heart of gross motor skills lies the nervous system, a complex network that coordinates every movement and action. When this delicate system is thrown off balance, it can lead to a wide range of motor control difficulties.

We know that great motor control and proprioception are essential for children to engage in daily activities and explore the world around them, such as:
crawl
walk
run
jump
manipulate objects with ease

As children grow and develop, their motor control skills become increasingly refined, allowing them to take on more complex tasks and challenges (ride a bike, play sports, dance, etc)

Beyond its role in physical movement, the stages of motor control also play a crucial role in a child’s overall development.

🗣️It lays the foundation for cognitive, social, and emotional growth, as children learn through movement and interaction with their environment. Delays or difficulties in motor control can have far-reaching consequences, impacting a child’s ability to learn, play, and communicate effectively.

Nervous system dysregulation can result from various factors, including birth trauma, injury, chronic stress, and subluxation (misalignments and disruption of proprioceptive input that interfere with proper nerve function). These disturbances can impair the brain’s ability to process sensory information accurately and generate appropriate motor commands, leading to delays, clumsiness, or other movement challenges.

🤗Addressing nervous system dysfunction through targeted interventions, such as Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, can help restore balance and promote optimal motor development in children.

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 Arise Family 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.

For Amanda’s mom the biggest goal was to get her to sleep by herself, so mom can finally rest 😴 … and also dad🫶🏼. We know sleeping is the foundation upon which healing begins.

Several factors can contribute to sleep disorders in children, but one often-overlooked cause is subluxation and dysautonomia, which are related to neurological imbalances and dysfunctions. These imbalances can overstimulate your child’s sympathetic nervous system and suppress the parasympathetic response, disrupting their sleep patterns.

So if you’ve tried numerous remedies, therapies, from supplements to essential oils, and your child still struggles to sleep, it’s time to consider Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic care. These adjustments can be a game-changer for your child’s sleep and overall well-being.

Many of you come to our office with a story that matters. We want to make sure you feel supported through this journey of healing.

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! ❤️

Back to school is fast approaching 🫢 and with that… do you find yourself often worrying 😩about this new school year? Do you feel you and your kids are ready, healthy and regulated to face the challenges that are coming? 🙌🏼Many families opt to start or continue chiropractic care during summer time to make sure their kids are strong and ready to school!

This time we want to shout out to the Zuniga’s kids! They have come consistently and achieve great goals, stronger immune system and overall better health.

🫶🏼You know better than anyone that your child is creative, caring, and full of potential. But you also know that the structured environment, social pressures, and academic challenges of school can bring stress to your entire family.

If you’re lying awake at night worried about your child’s sleep difficulties, their struggles with transitions, their ability to stay focused in class, or their challenges in regulating emotions and behavior, please know that you’re not alone.

More importantly, we want you to know that there’s hope, and you have more power than you might realize to set your child up for success this school year.

Everything was going so well, and now suddenly we’re seeing no progress at all...” 😫

That plateau in your child’s healing journey is often part of the process!

🧠 Research shows us that the brain’s neuroplasticity enables it to reorganize pathways, form new connections, and, in certain instances, even generate new neurons. “Two steps forward, one step back” pattern is your child’s nervous system reorganizing for deeper, lasting change!

When neurological progress seems to stall or even regress, it’s usually because of one of these five common factors:

1️⃣ Growth Spurts: Your child’s body is diverting energy to physical development

2️⃣ Immune Challenges: Even minor illnesses temporarily shift resources to healing

3️⃣ Environmental Factors: Toxins, mold, and even seasonal changes can impact progress

4️⃣ Emotional Stress: Major transitions or family changes activate the stress response

5️⃣ Therapy Overload: Too many interventions at once can overwhelm the nervous system

What looks like “no progress” is actually your child’s nervous system working harder than ever beneath the surface! 💪

We understand how hard plateaus in care can be when you’ve done so much for your child and you want the progress to be faster!!

Just remember, the neurological healing journey isn’t a straight line; it’s more like a rollercoaster with its twists and turns. 🫣 BUT each plateau is just laying the foundation for the next breakthrough! We got this!! 🫶

Dads, we know we talk a lot about moms at Arise, and it’s because we usually see them more than you. 😜

But we want to change that because we know it’s time to get your nervous system functioning at its best so you can continue to lead and care for your family!! You do so much for your family, and also feel the pressure to come home filled with energy to step right into dad and husband mode!

That’s hard! Especially if you’re like 1 out of 4 dads who say they’re burnt out and exhausted.

Here’s what most health advice gets wrong: When your nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight” mode from juggling all the pressures of dad life, willpower alone ISN’T enough to get healthy. Your body is literally working against you by: 👉 Flooding your system with stress hormones, 👉 Draining your energy reserves, 👉 Making healthy choices feel impossibly hard, 👉 Preventing proper rest and recovery.

That’s a cycle Arise is ready to help you break!! This explains why you might want to exercise and eat better and be super dad the moment you walk through the door, but can never seem to find the energy to actually do it. It’s not laziness – it’s neurological! 🧠
Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care acts like a reset button for your overloaded nervous system. Our dads under care report better sleep, enhanced mood, and the return of ENERGY they thought was gone forever. 🙌 Now that’s a Father’s Day present we want for all dads! Are you ready?! Fun dad mode loading 🔋 at the link in our bio for more information or just give us a call and let’s do this already!

Arise Family Chiropractic is giving 10 VIP dad scans for the of June 16-20 in honor of Father’s Day! Who’s ready to see how their nervous system is functioning?!

Rule1: Mention this IG post to honor the VIP dad scan for only $47(only for new dads)🤩
