Jack’s story began long before his first breath.
His parents’ journey to him was shaped by unimaginable loss & deep fear. While pregnant with Jack, they suddenly lost their 16 month old daughter without answers, a heartbreak no family should ever have to carry. As they tried to keep moving forward through grief, another frightening moment followed when a car accident late in pregnancy sent them to the hospital to stop early labor.
Jack arrived via C section and was taken straight to the NICU. Fluid in his lungs made breathing difficult, and because of concerns tied to his sister’s passing, doctors closely monitored him for a possible metabolic disorder. His first 11 days were spent under constant observation, checking ammonia levels & supporting his breathing. Those early days limited bonding & added more stress to an already fragile season.
When Jack finally came home, his nervous system was still carrying so much tension. Reflux, colic, gas pain, stiffness, & long stretches of inconsolable crying became part of daily life. Tummy time felt overwhelming. Lying flat was uncomfortable. Feeding often ended in distress. His parents tried everything medications, dietary changes, endless rocking & movement all while holding the weight of past trauma and fear.
When Jack began neurologically focused chiropractic care, the goal was simple. Comfort.
Through gentle, specific adjustments designed to support his nervous system, Jack’s body slowly began to soften. Tension eased. Digestion improved. Sleep came more easily. His mood became calmer & more regulated. Tummy time felt manageable, & hours of crying gradually gave way to more peaceful, connected moments.
Today, Jack is a determined little boy who wants to move, crawl, & explore his world. While still growing & navigating teething, he is noticeably happier & more comfortable in his body. The shift has been meaningful not just for Jack, but for his entire family.
Jack’s journey is a reminder that healing is possible, even after immense loss. With gentle support, consistency, & care that honors the nervous system, little bodies can begin to feel safe again & families can start to breathe easier. 💙
