👶 Why do chiropractors see newborns?
It’s a question we hear all the time-> and the answer goes far beyond colic or reflux.

Yes, many families bring their newborns to us because of:
• Colic or excessive crying
• Constipation or digestive discomfort
• Trouble latching or feeding
• Reflux or tension
• Difficulty sleeping

But there’s a bigger picture most parents aren’t told 👇

A baby’s nervous system controls everything: digestion, sleep, comfort, immune response, and development.
And birth, even when it’s beautiful and “normal,” can place stress on a tiny, developing nervous system.

When that stress isn’t addressed, it can show up early…
or later as challenges with sleep, regulation, digestion, or development.

That’s why we don’t just see newborns when something feels “off.”
We also see them to help give their nervous system the best possible start.

Our care is:
✔️ Extremely gentle
✔️ Safe for newborns
✔️ Focused on supporting nervous system function
✔️ Designed to help babies adapt, regulate, and thrive

Parents often tell us they notice:
✨ Easier feeding
✨ More comfortable digestion
✨ Improved sleep
✨ A calmer, more settled baby

And just as important, peace of mind knowing they’re supporting their child’s health from the very beginning.

Whether your baby is struggling now or you simply want to give them the best chance at a healthy life, we’re honored to walk alongside your family from day one 🤍

💛 If your child’s moods feel unpredictable, you’re not alone.

One moment they’re fine…
The next, they’re overwhelmed, emotional, or melting down — and you’re left wondering what just happened.

Here’s what many parents don’t realize 👇
Mood regulation in kids isn’t about willpower or “better behavior.”
It’s often about a nervous system that’s stuck in overdrive.

When a child’s nervous system is overwhelmed:
• Small things feel big
• Emotions come fast and hard
• Transitions are tough
• And calming down feels impossible — even for them

And the hardest part?
You can see your child trying.

That’s why we focus on helping kids regulate from the inside out — using a gentle, natural, drug-free approach designed to calm the nervous system and help kids feel safe in their own bodies.

When the nervous system is calmer, mood regulation often follows:
✨ Fewer emotional explosions
✨ Faster recovery after stress
✨ More confidence and ease
✨ A calmer home for everyone

If you’ve been feeling stuck between “just wait it out” and options that don’t feel right for your child — there is another place to start.

📍 We’re proud to support families here in Ames and Adel with a thoughtful, step-by-step approach designed especially for sensitive kiddos.

Hope isn’t loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it shows up as one calmer morning, one smoother bedtime, one day with fewer tears.

If you’re in the thick of it right now—big emotions, constant overwhelm, school struggles, sensory overload—this is your reminder:

✨ Things CAN change for the better. ✨

Not overnight.
Not magically.
But step by step, when the nervous system finally gets the support it needs.

We’ve watched families go from survival mode to steady ground.
From feeling stuck… to feeling hopeful again.
From “Is this just how it’s going to be?” to “Wow—this feels different.”

If you’re holding onto hope with white knuckles, let us help you carry it.
You don’t have to do this alone.

💛 Sometimes the scans don’t just show stress… they show hope.

When families come into our office, they’re often carrying a lot.
Questions. Worry. Exhaustion.
And the fear that maybe nothing will ever change.

Then we run the scans.

And for the first time, there’s clarity.

Not blame.
Not guessing.
Not another “they’ll grow out of it.”

The scans help us see what your child’s nervous system has been dealing with, and just as importantly, they show us potential. They show us that the body isn’t broken… it’s been adapting. Doing its best under stress.

That moment — when parents realize there’s a reason for what they’ve been seeing — is often when hope walks back in.

Hope that their child isn’t “too much.”
Hope that there’s a path forward.
Hope that with the right support, things really can improve.

We don’t use scans to scare families.
We use them to guide care, create a clear plan, and remind parents that the nervous system is capable of change.

Because data + expertise + gentle care = hope with direction.

👉 Message us if you’re ready for answers — and a reason to believe things can get better.

If your child was always “on edge,” this feels uncomfortably familiar.
You didn’t miss something—you were never given the full picture.
The belief is that anxiety and depression appear out of nowhere in adolescence.
In reality, unresolved nervous system stress often shows up differently as demands increase.
Our Calm Reset Blueprint assesses how a child’s nervous system responds to stress early—using reflex testing and neurological scans—then supports regulation through specific, gentle chiropractic care. Each phase is intentional and explained, so parents understand what’s changing and why.
As regulation improves, kids tolerate pressure better, recover faster emotionally, and feel more steady at school, home, and activities.

🌿 Calm isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something you feel the moment you walk through our doors.

Everything about our office is intentional.
The pace.
The tone.
The way we greet your child.
The way nothing feels rushed, loud, or overwhelming.

Because our main goal is supporting the nervous system — and a nervous system can’t calm down in chaos.

Kids don’t heal when they’re bracing.
Parents don’t relax when they’re on edge.
And progress doesn’t happen when the body feels unsafe.

That’s why our space is designed to help nervous systems exhale.

✨ Kids feel comfortable being themselves
✨ Parents feel safe asking questions
✨ Everyone slows down just enough to regulate

When the environment is calm, the nervous system can finally shift out of survival mode — and that’s where real change begins.

This isn’t an accident.
It’s the foundation of how we care.

If you’ve been looking for a place where your child doesn’t have to be “on guard,” and where you don’t have to explain or apologize for their needs…

👉 Message us. Come experience what calm care really feels like.

Calm is the starting point.

Growth doesn’t automatically mean regulation.
Sometimes it means higher demands on the same stressed system.
The myth is that time fixes nervous system challenges.
Without support, stress just changes how it shows up.
The Mood Regulation Calm Reset Blueprint focuses on building a stronger foundation through assessment-led, phased chiropractic care that supports long-term adaptability—not temporary calm.
Families often experience more predictable days, smoother transitions, and renewed confidence moving forward.

💛 Mood regulation doesn’t just affect your child ---> it affects your entire family.

When your child’s nervous system is overwhelmed, it doesn’t stay contained to one moment.
It spills into everything.

It can keep you from:
• Enjoying simple outings
• Saying yes to plans
• Having calm mornings or peaceful evenings
• Letting someone else watch your child
• Feeling confident as a parent

Instead, life starts revolving around avoiding triggers, managing meltdowns, and bracing for what might happen next. And that’s exhausting.

This isn’t because you’re doing something wrong.
And it’s not because your child is “too much.”

It’s what happens when a nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

At Specialized Health Chiropractic, we focus on helping regulate the nervous system so families can get their lives back, not by forcing behavior, but by supporting how the brain and body communicate.

When regulation improves, parents often notice:
✨ Fewer emotional explosions
✨ Faster recovery after hard moments
✨ More flexibility in daily routines
✨ The freedom to live life without constant worry

You deserve to enjoy your child, not just manage them.
And your child deserves a nervous system that feels safe enough to regulate.

Support the system. Change the day.

Most parents aren’t looking for a “quick fix.”
They’re looking for peace.
Because when your child struggles with focus, gets overwhelmed easily, or melts down after school… it doesn’t just affect them.
It affects the whole family.
And the hardest part?
You can feel your child trying.
They’re not lazy. They’re not “bad.”
They’re overwhelmed.
A lot of families tell us they feel stuck between extremes —
“Do we just wait and hope they grow out of it?”
Or “Do we jump into something that doesn’t feel right for our child?”
That’s why we created the Calm Brain Blueprint!
A gentle, supportive first step designed to bring clarity before big decisions.
Here’s how it works:
âś… First, we start with an in-depth phone consult so you feel heard and understood.
âś… Next, we bring your child in for a full chiropractic exam and use CLA scans to see how their nervous system is responding to stress.
✅ Then, our doctors meet and create a completely customized blueprint —>> built specifically for your child.
âś… Finally, we sit down with you, explain the scans in plain English, and walk you through every step before beginning gentle, specific adjustments.
No pressure. No scare tactics.
And our goal is always to make sure your child feels safe, calm, and comfortable.

🗣️ Let’s talk about speech delays — and the part no one explains.

Speech may not always be the direct goal of care in our office.
And that surprises some parents.

But here’s the truth:
👉 Speech doesn’t happen in isolation.

It’s built on a foundation of nervous system function — regulation, coordination, sensory processing, breath control, and brain-body communication.

When a child’s nervous system is overwhelmed or stuck in stress mode, hitting milestones like speech can feel harder than it should. Not because your child isn’t capable… but because their system is working overtime just to get through the day.

When we focus on helping the nervous system function better, parents often begin to notice:
✨ More sounds and attempts
✨ Better eye contact and engagement
✨ Increased connection and awareness
✨ New milestones emerging naturally

We don’t “force” speech.
We don’t chase one symptom.

We support the system that allows development to unfold the way it’s meant to.

Because when the brain and body are communicating clearly, kids are finally able to use the skills they already have inside them.

👉 Message us if you have questions about speech delays or want to explore whether nervous system–focused care could support your child’s development.

📚 If school feels like a daily battle for your child with ADHD — this is for you.

The notes home.
The calls from school.
The unfinished work, constant reminders, and “they’re smart, but…” conversations.

For many kids, these school struggles aren’t about motivation or behavior.
They’re signs of a nervous system that’s overloaded and stuck in survival mode — trying to learn while constantly overwhelmed.

When the brain is in fight-or-flight:
❌ Focus drops
❌ Emotional regulation disappears
❌ Sitting still feels impossible
❌ Transitions become explosive
❌ Learning turns into stress instead of growth

At Specialized Health Chiropractic, we don’t label kids as “difficult” or “behind.”
We look deeper — at how the brain and nervous system are functioning under stress.

Using gentle chiropractic care and objective CLA Insight Scans, we create a clear, customized plan to help your child’s nervous system calm, organize, and regulate — so school doesn’t feel so hard anymore.

Parents often tell us they notice:
✨ Better focus in class
✨ Fewer meltdowns after school
✨ Improved confidence
✨ Smoother mornings and homework time

Your child isn’t broken.
They’re overwhelmed.

👉 Message us to learn how we support kids with ADHD and school struggles — and see if this approach is right for your family.
