✨ Understanding Subluxations & the Nervous System — Especially for Our Kids & Families ✨
Did you know your body is regulated by your nervous system—the master control system that tells everything else what to do? From sleep and digestion to focus, mood, and immune function… it all runs through the nervous system.
When the spine isn’t moving or aligned the way it should, it can create subluxations—areas of stress or interference that disrupt how the nervous system communicates with the body.
👉 There are often 3 stages of subluxations:
1️⃣ Stage One – Early Stress (Functional Stage)
This is where the nervous system is under stress, often stuck in sympathetic overdrive (fight-or-flight).
Common signs in kids & adults may include:
• Trouble sleeping
• Increased anxiety or irritability
• Frequent colds or immune challenges
• Difficulty focusing
• Digestive issues
2️⃣ Stage Two – Structural Changes
When stress goes unaddressed, the body starts adapting. Muscles tighten, posture changes, and movement patterns shift.
You might notice:
• Recurring aches or headaches
• Growing pains
• Behavioral changes in kids
• Fatigue or burnout in parents
3️⃣ Stage Three – Degenerative Patterns
Over time, long-standing stress can lead to breakdown and dysfunction. This is where symptoms are often louder—but the problem started long before.
💡 Here’s the key:
Many kids today live in a constant state of sympathetic overdrive—school stress, screens, schedules, emotional pressure. When the nervous system can’t switch back into calm (rest-and-digest), the body never truly resets.
And kids don’t live in isolation—families share stress patterns. When one nervous system is dysregulated, it often affects the whole household.
✨ Chiropractic care isn’t just about pain—it’s about helping the nervous system regulate, adapt, and thrive.
If you’ve noticed your child (or your family) feeling “off,” overwhelmed, or stuck in stress mode, it may be time to look deeper—not just at symptoms, but at the nervous system itself.
📍 We’re here to support healthy, regulated nervous systems for the whole family—because when the nervous system functions better, life does too.
