What are the Neurological "Soft Signs" of Healing to look for during the start of your care plan? When care first starts, the biggest changes usually aren’t the big milestones. They’re the little ones that will add up to the BIG ones!! 😍

You might start to notice things like:

👏 Deeper, more restful sleep

👏 A better appetite or easier digestion

👏 Stronger tone or better posture

👏 More balance and smoother coordination

👏 Less sensory overwhelm

👏 Calmer transitions and fewer meltdowns

These are what we call neurological “soft signs” of healing.

They’re the body’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m starting to regulate and rebalance!” Meaning, exactly what we want!! 💪

As your child’s nervous system settles and strengthens, these subtle shifts start to stack up, building the foundation for the bigger, more visible progress ahead (like speech, motor skills, and emotional growth). Those BIG things come after the soft signs of healing.

Healing happens from the inside out 👉 foundation first, then complexity.

So if you’re seeing these little wins early on, celebrate them and make sure to tell us about them at your next visit! 💙 They mean your child’s body is already starting to do the work. 💪

🌿Campbell's Root Cause Healing Journey🌿

When Campbell came to Thrive, he was just days old and struggling with a lot of overall tension since birth. Nursing was incredibly difficult — he had severe tongue and lip ties and every feeding ended with both mom and baby in tears. 💔
His mom shared, “I felt frustrated, overwhelmed, and sad because he was trying so hard but just couldn’t do what he needed to do to nurse properly.”

After multiple tongue and lip tie revisions, his parents knew that addressing the root cause of his tension through chiropractic care would be key. From the very first visit with Dr. James, they began to notice small but powerful changes — less arching, less frustration, and more peace during nursing sessions. 🌿

At 3 months, after a third revision, the specialist even noted how much chiropractic care had helped reduce the tension in Campbell’s mouth, allowing him to heal more fully. With continued care and support, Campbell is now 4 months old, nursing comfortably and without any shields — something his family once wondered if they’d ever achieve. 🍼💪

“Now nursing is no longer stressful. We’re so thankful,” his mom shared.
The family has been part of the Thrive community for years and describes our office as feeling like home — a place where they can show up as they are, be supported, and even grab a snack or two on the way out. 😉💛

We’re beyond grateful to be part of Campbell’s journey and to walk alongside this amazing family as they continue to thrive together. 🌼

While your standard doctor chases symptoms and labels, they're completely missing what’s going on in your nervous system. The air traffic controller that coordinates everything in your body.

Traditional medicine waits for problems to show up. INSiGHT Scans actually measure how this critical system is functioning RIGHT NOW. 🧠

These three simple scans reveal what's really happening with:

📈 Chronic Stress

📈 Low Energy

📈 Sleep struggles

📈 Behavior challenges

📈 Focus issues

📈 Digestive problems

You don’t need more "wait and see." You need real answers.

We know you're tired of collecting labels without solutions! Head to the link in our bio to learn more about these INSiGHT scans or give us a call to get yours scheduled. 417-351-5877

Isn't it WILD that we can see what's going on in the nervous system, and it almost always matches what we're going through?! 🤯 As you already know, every case is unique and some scans may vary, but every scan tells a story and is a BIG piece to helping us find the root cause, and that's why we love them! Finally, answers for you and your family! 🥹

Want to see what your nervous system has been trying to tell you? 👀 Let’s find out! Send us a DM to book your scans!

If you’ve been in the office, you’ve seen our Core Values Wall! In the coming weeks we will be looking a word a week and how the team members see each other in action with them! 🤗

The word this week is HOPE! This word stood out to our CA Kara as she listened to Jerrica on a new patient phone call! Kara says, “she provides so much hope for each family she gets to connect with!” I think we would all agree!! ❤️

If your traditional pediatrician immediately hands you another prescription for an ear infection, RUN! According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, they now recommend a watch-and-wait approach due to the rare cases of a bacterial ear infection. A gentle, specific chiropractic adjustment can help the body move that fluid out…without the harmful side effects of an antibiotic!

“Before chiropractic care, Luca would get an ear infection every time he got sick. At one point, he had 5 ear infections in 4 months. Our pediatrician suggested going to an ENT for tubes in his ears or some other sort of surgery, but I didn’t want to go that route if I could avoid it... Since we started chiropractic care, Luca has not had a single ear infection." 👏

At Thrive, we specialize in identifying patterns of nervous system stress. Then our gentle adjustments help restore proper function to the entire system, improving drainage, enhancing immunity, and breaking the chronic infection cycle naturally. 💙

If your little one is struggling with ear infection after ear infection, give us a call or head to the link in bio for natural, root cause solutions and sign up for our Raising Healthy Kids Naturally Webinar!! Let's break that constant sick cycle!! 🫶
