“Just like the rest of the cranial nerves, the accessory nerve innervating the upper back and neck responds to a specific kind of emotional distress, and this is a feeling of being ‘unable to turn the body, head or neck sufficiently.’ If we have difficulty moving our head or neck, and if this causes acute emotional distress, then the accessory nerve immediately responds to adapt the muscles of the neck and back. Along with this response, there occurs a partial paralysis of the smooth musculature that lines the outer wall of the trapezius.

Because they are embryologically linked, this unique distress affecting the accessory nerve can simultaneously activate the vagus nerve to signal a peristaltic immobility in the intestines. In other words, the unique emotional distress of ‘not being able to move the head or neck sufficiently,’ can lead to a simultaneous peristaltic constipation in the intestines!” –John Ohm

By understanding the connection between the nervous system, our emotions and infant digestion, we can gain new insight into why infants experience constipation and indigestion.

Pediatric chiropractic care’s ability to provide specific adjustments to the head and neck, along with recognizing specific forms of infant distress, illuminates how we can foster better digestion for our infants’ and support their nervous system’s functioning.

In the short time we’ve been seeing this little guy, his mom has noticed some amazing changes!

“He’s nursing better, his acid reflux symptoms are improving, he has fewer hiccups, and his body feels less rigid and stiff”

Even friends and family are impressed with the progress he’s making! Most importantly, he’s a happier baby - which means mom is happier too!

“I was in an accident at 16 years old and have struggled with migraines, cervical pain, and even an eye twitch ever since. I’ve seen different chiropractors over the years, but Dr. Chandler was the first to help my eye twitching go away - I’ve had less headaches too!

Because of the incredible care I’ve received, I bring my three active daughters in for regular adjustments to support their overall health and wellness. With all the time they spend in gymnastics, I love knowing chiropractic care helps keep them moving, balanced, and feeling their best!”

❤️- A grateful mom
