Trust me you are going to want to stick around for this one. Let’s get nerdy and talk about the prefrontal cortex.

The prefrontal cortex is the very front part of your brain, and often referred to as the “personality center.” It is the part that allows for high level thinking, time management, organization, planning, reasoning, assessing and reacting to situations, problem solving, speaking, controlling our behaviors and emotions, understanding risks and consequences, impulse control, feeling remorse + empathy, a will to live, and so much more. Essentially the prefrontal cortex is what makes us uniquely human apart from other mammals, so it is a pretty darn important part of the brain.

Reading that list about if you have a child with neurodevelopmental challenges such as ADHD, SPD, anxiety, dyslexia, ODD, or any of the other diagnoses that come along with it you may have noticed some challenges your child has. Children diagnosed with ADHD have been shown to have a smaller than normal prefrontal cortex with abnormal activation. Anxiety and depression has been shown to have abnormal processing in the prefrontal cortex. Basically look up any neurodevelopmental challenges along with the prefrontal cortex and your child’s struggles start to make a lot more sense.

So what can you do about it? A study recently done showed that immediately following a chiropractic adjustment brain activity increased by 20% in the prefrontal cortex! We also know that neurons that fire together often enough develop deeper connections, so if we put two and two together chiropractic can likely over time improve the function of the prefrontal cortex.

This shows a small part of why we see such amazing results in kids with neurodevelopmental challenges and anxiety in our office. To learn more about this exact topic and more join us on September 22nd from the comfort of your own home for a live webinar all on naturally improving ADHD, sensory, and other neurodevelopmental challenges.

Which is why so many of patients report improvement in
• Behaviors
• Decision making

Parents, we would like to invite you to our Perfect Storm Live Webinar on September 22nd. This information has been pivotal to so many parents finally understanding their child’s behavioral, emotional, sensory, and school performance challenges.

What if kids don’t really “grow out of” colic, constipation, chronic ear infections, and other early childhood challenges like you were told? What if there has been a “Perfect Storm 🌪” brewing with their nervous system since they were born?

There is a missing link to all of these challenges that still today are entirely overlooked and missed by the traditional medical system and occur in well over 80% of kids with ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodevelopmental challenges.

In this free webinar you’ll learn the following:

- The 3 most easily overlooked root causes + triggers that occur very early in a child’s life, as far back as the pregnancy, birth, and infancy.

- How motor development plays a crucial role in brain development and how to help your child who may have plateaued in therapies like PT, OT, and Speech

- How important it is to help improve a child’s sleep, digestion, and immune system

If you’ve tried it all and your child is still in a tough spot, this webinar is for you 🙌!

At Cultivate we don’t just guess when it comes to your care! We use INSiGHT scans as they show us exactly where stress is causing interference on your nervous system and how well your nervous system is adapting. What do these scans measure exactly❓

Heart Rate Variablility: This tells us how well you are able to adapt to life’s stressors.
Surface EMG: Shows us the total energy in your nervous system, how organized it is, and where tension is hiding.
Thermal scan: This measures temperature differences along the spine, showing us exactly where stress has built up, and how deep it is in the nervous system.

These scans show us a snapshot in time of your nervous systems function and how well it is adapting day to day. By utilizing these scans we are able to track overall health throughout your care! This information allows us to tailor care specifically to what your nervous system needs to optimize your health and wellness. 🤗
