How Chiropractic Supports Your Child’s Nervous System

Childhood is a time of incredible growth and discovery. From first steps to playground adventures, kids are constantly moving, learning, and pushing their physical boundaries. All this active exploration is wonderful for development, but it can also place stress on their developing nervous system.

When the nervous system experiences interference, children may face challenges such as:

👎 Disrupted sleep cycles
👎 Frequent ear infections
👎 Respiratory issues, including asthma symptoms

Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting nervous system function, helping your child's body maintain balance and adapt to daily stresses naturally. Gentle adjustments can help optimize nervous system communication, allowing the body's natural healing processes to work more effectively.

Potential Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care:

🎯 Improved sleep quality and digestive function
🎯 Enhanced immune system support
🎯 Greater overall wellness and resilience

Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive with a well-functioning nervous system. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, natural approach to supporting your child's innate ability to grow, adapt, and maintain optimal health throughout their developmental journey. 💚

(From Dr. Felicia at Family & Child Chiro)

Do you see these two bottles of supplements? The one on the left came from OrthoMolecular. The one on the right came from another website (it was Walmart.com but you could put Amazon or any other online seller).

Do you see on the bottle on the left it has a lot number typed on it (it’s hard to see because it isn’t tipped correctly). Look for that. It’s very important. The bottle on the right is NOT from OrthoMolecular. Scam artists are good they made it look really similar

Orthomolecular should only be sold in offices and other health arenas.

The second picture is what was found in both of those bottles. The Reacted Magnesium should be a white powder in a capsule. That’s what it should look like. The pill that came out of the fraudulent bottle is brown. Who knows what that is?

The big SO WHAT?!?

Don’t buy supplements from anywhere it isn’t regulated. Buy local from your chiropractor etc.

If you need something or have questions feel free to ask!

What's Actually Happening?

When patients tell me they have a "pinched nerve," I explain that while the term is widely used, what we're actually dealing with is nerve compression or impingement. Your spinal nerves exit through small openings between your vertebrae, and when these spaces become narrowed or when surrounding tissues become inflamed, pressure builds on the nerve.

It's more like stepping on a garden hose – the water (or in this case, nerve signals) can't flow properly, causing dysfunction downstream. Your nervous system is remarkably sophisticated, controlling everything from muscle movement to sensation, so when compression occurs, the effects can be far-reaching.

Understanding Class IV Cold Laser Therapy

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy—also known as photobiomodulation—uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate healing, reduce pain, improve circulation, and decrease inflammation.

How Does It Work?

Laser light penetrates deep into tissues, where it interacts at the cellular level. It enhances metabolic activity, improves nutrient transport across cell membranes, and boosts ATP (cellular energy) production.

Resulting in:

• Enhanced and quicker tissue repair
• Accelerated healing ( some authorities say up to 10 times faster healing)
• Reduced pain and inflammation
• Improved circulation and lymphatic flow

Each session draws oxygen, water, and nutrients to damaged areas, creating a highly effective healing environment.

Proven Results: Is It Backed by Science?

Absolutely. Over thousands of studies, including more than 100 rigorous clinical trials, have demonstrated laser therapy’s effectiveness across a wide array of medical conditions, from sports injuries to chronic pain and wound healing.

What Does Laser Therapy Feel Like?

Treatments are painless, with most patients reporting little to no sensation. Some individuals experience a mild, soothing warmth or tingling sensation. Occasionally, an increase in sensitivity may occur in areas of inflammation, but this is typically short-lived and indicates increased cellular activity and blood flow.

Are There Risks or Side Effects?

Laser therapy is remarkably safe, with very few reported side effects over its 40+ year history of global use. Occasionally, a temporary flare in symptoms may occur, especially in chronic conditions. This is usually due to increased blood flow and heightened metabolic activity—a sign the body is healing.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Thanks to the power of Class IV lasers, sessions are quick, typically between 3 to 9 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

• Acute conditions: 3–6 sessions may suffice.
• Chronic issues: 10–15 sessions or more may be required.
• Severe or degenerative conditions (e.g., arthritis): Ongoing periodic treatments may be beneficial.

Many patients notice improvement after just 3-4 sessions, though full benefits often accumulate over time.

What Conditions Can It Help?

Class IV Laser Therapy is used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurologic, and dermatologic conditions, including:

Muscle, Joint, and Soft Tissue Pain

• Tendonitis and tendinopathies
• Plantar fasciitis
• Sprains and strains
• Myofascial pain and trigger points
• Bursitis
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Tennis/golfer’s elbow
• Shoulder, knee, and back pain

Arthritis and Chronic Pain

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Trigeminal neuralgia

• Chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS/RSD)

Wound and Nerve Healing

• Diabetic neuropathy
• Post-surgical wounds
• Non-healing ulcers
• Venous and diabetic foot ulcers
• Amputee stump pain
• Burns and post-herpetic neuralgia (Shingles)

Sports & Overuse Injuries

• Shin splints
• Patellofemoral syndrome
• IT band syndrome
• Repetitive strain injuries
..and more

These before-and-after-treatment cervical x-rays belong to a person who had been experiencing chronic headaches, neck pain, stiffness, and bilateral shoulder tightness for approximately three years. She worked in tech and spent 8-10 hours daily looking down at various screens.

When examining a neck on an X-ray image, a graceful, forward curve is considered normal. This means the convexity should be facing forward, as seen in the "after" image on the right. This natural positioning is called a lordosis and represents the optimal alignment for the cervical spine.

Unfortunately, the constant downward head position required to view phones, tablets, and laptops can cause this normal curve to flatten or even reverse—a condition often referred to as "text neck" or "tech neck." This is exactly what we observed in this patient's initial X-rays.

The Digital Posture Epidemic

The loss of normal cervical curve seen in this patient's "before" x-rays has become increasingly common as our society grows more dependent on digital devices. The average American spends over 5+ hours per day on mobile devices alone, often with their head tilted forward at a 45-60 degree angle. This position places tremendous strain on the neck—up to 60 pounds of pressure when the head is tilted just 60 degrees.

When left uncorrected, this altered cervical curve can contribute to numerous symptoms, including:

Tension and migraine headaches

TMJ dysfunction and pain

Vertigo and dizziness

Chronic muscle spasm and loss of range of motion

Disc bulges and herniations

Spinal degeneration and arthritis

Problems with the ability to focus

Cardiovascular and blood pressure issues

The average American spends over 5+ hours per day on mobile devices alone, often with their head tilted forward at a 45-60 degree angle. This position places tremendous strain on the neck, up to 60 pounds of pressure when the head is tilted just 60 degrees.

Fortunately, after a personalized course of chiropractic care, this patient's cervical alignment was restored to normal, and her neck pain and headaches resolved completely!

The Emotional Weight We Carry

Your body doesn't just house your emotions; it expresses them. When we experience stress, anxiety, or emotional trauma, our bodies often manifest these feelings physically through tension, pain, and postural changes. The spine, serving as both our physical and energetic core, is particularly vulnerable to emotional strain. Understanding this mind-body connection can be the first step toward comprehensive healing and pain relief.
