We're often told our children will 'outgrow' certain health conditions. But what if instead of growing out of something, they just grow INTO something else?

Colic and reflux don't just disappear. They become those temper tantrums and big emotions in childhood. And those big emotions? They can turn into anxiety and depression in teenagers. All the while, digestive issues are STILL following them.

That's why we take the time to look for the root cause of the problem: subluxation. By combining your child's history with a specific examination, missing pieces of the often come together.

The nerves in the mid-back control the stomach and intestines but unfortunately this isn't something commonly talked about. When that area is tight, stressed, or misaligned, digestion often slows down too - causing bloating, constipation, reflux, and that “my stomach just feels off” feeling.

If your family has been dealing with these symptoms, the spine and nervous system is likely the missing link.

Most people think gut health is all about food… but for athletes, it’s so much bigger than that.

The gut and the nervous system work together to regulate digestion, nutrient absorption, energy production and recovery.

When there’s tension, misalignment or stress affecting that system, athletes often experience:
• Bloating
• Constipation
• Stomach cramps before practice
• Poor appetite
• “Heavy” digestion
• Low energy or slow recovery
• Trouble absorbing nutrients and more

These signals aren’t random. Your athlete's body is signaling that communication is off.

A clear, balanced nervous system allows the gut to:
✔ Move food efficiently
✔ Absorb nutrients better
✔ Support stamina and recovery
✔ Stay calm under pressure
✔ Fuel performance the way it’s designed to

Chiropractic care is such a game changer for your athletes.
It doesn’t just help their body move better…It helps their entire system function better. As a result, their athleticism is supported while their overall health is improved.

If your athlete has been dealing with gut issues, low energy, inconsistent performance or poor recovery, we’d love to help get to the root of it.

“I honestly cannot say enough positive things about Dr. C and what she has done for me and my health. I have scoliosis and was consistently uncomfortable and in pain. I initially came to see her for that. What I found was that not only did she help alleviate my back pain, but I was experiencing less colds and digestive issues (also frequently occurring). When I became pregnant with my son, she helped me stay comfortable and my body in alignment even with an 11 pound baby! Dr. C has seen Miles since he was just a few months old and he is now four. She has helped keep him healthy and happy.”

The vagus nerve plays a massive role in how well food moves through the gut to how calm the body feels before, after meals and beyond. When this nerve is stressed, digestion slows down… and you’ll see it in symptoms like constipation, bloating, reflux, and tummy discomfort.

Chiropractic helps restore clear communication along this nerve so digestion can work the way it’s designed to.
If your family has been dealing with digestive issues, we’re here to help.

Be sure to share this post if you've experienced digestive or other healing while at Cestaro Chiropractic so others can experience healing as well ✨

Wow… my heart is so full. Way back in 2008, I dreamed of having a community of people that we could care for and live life with. I hope you all know you are my family. Over 17 years, we’ve celebrated weddings and promotions with you. We’ve grieved losses and disappointments. We’ve hugged in joy, we’ve prayed with tears. We’ve waited for new babies to arrive and watched your families grow. I’ve watched some of your babies grow to tower over me (haha) and bring their own families into care. And every year it never gets old. It’s truly a bigger joy and greater privilege to be your chiropractor. Love you all and Merry Christmas


Love,
Dr C

Have you ever noticed that your family’s digestion seems to take a hit as soon as winter rolls in?
More tummy aches… more constipation… more “my stomach feels weird”… more reflux… more overall discomfort.

It’s not just about holiday food.
Winter places a heavy load on the nervous system, which directly impacts digestion in kids and adults. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Less sunlight = less serotonin + melatonin balance = more irregular digestion

Sunlight helps regulate digestion, bowel movement rhythm, and appetite. When days get shorter, the gut naturally slows - especially in kids who are already sensitive to routines shifting.

2️⃣ Cold weather = less movement, in general.

Kids aren’t running outside, playing in the yard, or moving their bodies the same way.
Less movement = slower intestinal motility.

3️⃣ More stress + overstimulation

Holiday schedules, busier days, disrupted routines, more sugar, more screens, later bedtimes...these all activate the stress response. When the stress response activates, digestion becomes less of a priority for the body.

4️⃣ Immune system on overtime

The gut and immune system are tightly connected. When the immune system is constantly being challenged, digestion often becomes sluggish or unpredictable.

5️⃣ Nervous system tension builds up

Changes in routines, temperature, sleep, posture (hello, winter slouching) and stress all create nervous system interference...especially in the vagus nerve and mid-back.
These nerves control everything from stomach emptying to intestinal motility.

What helps?

Supporting the nervous system (not just the stomach) is the real solution.

Here are family-friendly habits that make a BIG difference:

✔ More water than you think you need
✔ Warm meals (soups, broths, cooked foods)
✔ Daily movement, even 10 minutes
✔ Fresh air + sunlight whenever possible
✔ Deep breathing before meals
✔ Less grazing, more structured eating
✔ Consistent sleep routines
✔ Chiropractic adjustments to keep the nervous system clear and calm

Because when the nervous system communicates well, the digestive system can finally work the way it’s designed to - even in winter.

If your family is struggling with constipation, bloating, reflux, tummy aches, or slow digestion this season, you’re not alone… and you don’t have to guess your way through it.

We’d love to help you get to the root of it.

Well it certainly is a festive day for a Christmas party!! 😂 Can’t wait to see so many of you tonight. Couple things…

1. Doors will not open until 5, but feel free to come sit in the parking lot until then

2. Please do not come outside your time slot. Our first couple slots are fully booked.

3. The snow definitely inhibited our parking spots. The lot will be clear, but if things are full, get creative. The plaza next door is an option. There’s spots in the back of their building, also. If you park in our back lot, you still need to enter through the front of the building.

Ok folks that’s it! Come ready to party 🎉

Love,
Dr C
