Lily started care with us at 2.5 years old.
Multiple sensory meltdowns every single day. Couldn’t wear anything except super soft cotton (and even that had to be just right). Refused most foods because of texture. Covered her ears constantly. Couldn’t handle crowds, bright lights, or busy environments.
Her mom was exhausted, isolated, and heartbroken watching her daughter struggle so intensely with the world around her.
Mom had tried everything. Occupational therapy. Sensory diets. Weighted blankets. Compression clothing. Noise-canceling headphones. Special scissors to cut all the tags out of every piece of clothing.
Nothing was helping enough. The meltdowns still came. The sensory struggles still dominated their entire family life.
We started Lily on gentle pediatric chiropractic care focused on optimizing her nervous system function. No forcing.
No trauma. Just gentle, specific adjustments to remove interference.
Within 4 weeks, mom noticed Lily wasn’t covering her ears as much at the grocery store. Small win, but significant.
By 8 weeks, they went on a field trip to the zoo. Crowds, sounds, all of it. Lily handled it without a single meltdown.
Mom cried in the parking lot.
At 12 weeks, mom sent me a photo I still have saved on my phone: Lily wearing JEANS (denim!), eating a sandwich with multiple textures, smiling.
The caption said: “I didn’t think this was possible. Thank you for giving me my daughter back.”
I need to be clear: we didn’t treat Lily’s sensory processing disorder. What we did was optimize her nervous system function so her brain could more accurately interpret and respond to sensory input.
When the nervous system functions optimally, kids often handle sensory information more appropriately. Not because they’re “tougher” or “trying harder,” but because their brain is finally receiving clear signals.
Your child isn’t broken. Their nervous system is just asking for support.
