A label can feel secure. It can also sometimes give our children access to the therapies and resources they really do need! 🙏 What we love at SFC is helping you go even deeper than a label. What we do after we get the diagnosis is what’s so important for your child’s future! Let us help! Visit the link in our bio to read more! ❤️

“Our entire family was dealing with significant neurologic struggles…” 😣

Chronic daily headaches. Dysautonomia. Night terrors. Meltdowns. Anxiety. Poor coordination.

“For myself and our youngest, Adley, the NS symptoms were severe. After a traumatic birth and developing long-haul COVID, my daily headaches were debilitating. For Adley, she began to experience apnea, significant GERD, and hypotonia at 1.5 months old. Our entire lives were dominated by nervous system dysregulation.” 😭

They tried everything.

“We sought out all avenues of traditional and non-traditional medicine—multiple specialists, procedures, surgeries, and therapies. We explored PT, NUCCA, rolfing, acupuncture, supplements, elimination diets… We were willing to do and try anything.”

But nothing gave lasting answers... until they found PX Docs. ✨

“Once we came and were able to dive deeper into a root cause approach, we felt our hope was being restored. The scans gave insight into each family member’s issues. Also, simply having a plan forward was life-changing.”

“Each family member started experiencing different breakthroughs… longer stretches with less pain, less night terrors, faster illness recovery, new milestones met, more stability with vital signs, increased emotional regulation, and decreased anxiety.”

And today?

“Adley is now almost fully caught up on her motor and speech milestones. She is thriving in her therapies and has exceeded all expectations of her medical care team. Eloise and Judah are more adaptable, sleeping better, and have stronger immune systems. Both Brendan and I have less daily pain and are able to regulate the emotional highs/lows of parenting with more joy.”

Hope. Healing. And a whole new outlook on life. 💙

Did you know there was such a thing as “good stress” ??? 🤯 As long as the nervous system can tell the difference between good and bad stress and not create a chronic mess within our bodies, short-term stress can be used for good and growth! Swipe through this post to find out why and then click the link in our bio to learn more! 👏

Julianne came to us with chronic pain and sleeplessness and we are so thankful that we have the opportunity to serve her through neurologically-focuses chiropractic care! We’ve been able to walk with her on her journey to feeling better and doing the things she loves!❤️

Julianne says: “My chronic neck and back pain are gone after 11 years of pain following a car wreck. I’m also sleeping like a log, not waking at 2 a.m. to lie awake for an hour. Living without chronic pain has given me more energy as well. I am so thankful for all that Dr. Short has done to help me.”

Good job, Mama!! 🥹 We know that ADHD + SPD are brain and nervous system-based disorders. While conventional medicine and your traditional pediatrician may still blame a genetic imbalance of neurotransmitters, that limited scientific theory is rather outdated and incomplete. 🫠

Children who are struggling with ADHD, SPD, and even anxiety are known to have an overactive or “stuck on” sympathetic fight or flight component of their nervous system. 🧠 We call this the “gas pedal,” and it simply means that deep within their central nervous system, they are constantly “revved up” and wound up even at rest. Two other common terms for this are nervous system dysregulation and dysautonomia.

We know your biggest hope is to find answers, especially before school starts and the problems get worse!! The first step is to get your child a Neurological INSiGHT Scan at our office! This will show our doctors exactly what is going on within your child’s nervous system and will help our doctors design a customized care plan!

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!!

Neurologically-focused chiro care for the WHOLE family! It’s our mission and we love fulfilling it🫶

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 SFC, 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!

This strong mama used neurologically-focused chiropractic care to optimize labor for herself and for baby #2🎉 We are SO thrilled to be able to share her story!!🥰💙

Isabelle says: “I had a pretty hard first birth with our daughter so was wanting to try chiropractic care this time to see if that helped. Things were drastically different this time around! I had less hip pain, our son was in a better position, and labor/birth was much smoother. Very grateful for Dr. Short and his help!”

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.
