Your nervous system feels your relationships.

Not just your routines, habits, or mindset — the actual people you share a life with.

Supportive relationships can help your body calm, regulate, and heal.

Draining relationships can keep your system stuck in stress, overwhelm, or shutdown… even when you’re doing “all the right things.”

This isn’t about blame.

It’s about understanding yourself with compassion.
Let yourself lean into the relationships that nourish you, make you feel seen, and support your growth into the healthiest version of yourself--

and set boundaries with the ones that don’t.
Your nervous system will thank you. 💛

You take care of yourself.
You feel good.
You move your body, you eat well, you sleep.

You know your nervous system runs everything — every system, every function.

You wonder: what’s the practical way to maintain it?

Not just recover from stress, but stay resilient, adaptable, and thriving.

Even when life feels good, your nervous system is always working.

Fine-tuning it now keeps:

• stress from building up
• focus sharp
• energy consistent
• recovery fast
• illness at bay

We help your nervous system stay in balance —

• keeping your sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) systems in harmony
• supporting adaptability, calm, and resilience

We support your nervous system at every stage:

• recovery from daily stress
• boosting resilience
• keeping your body adaptable and balanced

Whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, consistent care helps:

• maintain balance
• prevent stress buildup
• support long-term vitality and resilience

You prioritize your quality of life.

Now take it one step further — keep your nervous system strong, resilient, and ready for whatever life brings.

Dysautonomia is something your body can begin to heal when you address one of the core issues underneath it all: a nervous system that’s been stuck in survival mode for far too long.

When the autonomic nervous system is overwhelmed — constantly firing, constantly compensating — communication between the brain and body can become disrupted.

That’s when symptoms like dizziness, heart racing, chronic fatigue, gut issues, anxiety spikes, fainting episodes, and temperature dysregulation may begin to show up.

These symptoms aren’t random.

They’re signals from a system that has lost its rhythm.

What we do at ACLC is help restore that rhythm.

Through gentle, nervous system–based chiropractic care, we support clearer communication between the brain and body. And as that connection strengthens, the body can gradually shift out of fight-or-flight and into regulation, healing, and balance again.

We’ve seen practice members who were barely holding it together — missing school, missing work, missing life — slowly get their energy back, their joy back, and their confidence back.

They start traveling again. Moving their bodies again. Laughing again. Trusting their systems again.

So while “cured” might not be the perfect word…

Healing is absolutely possible.

And living a full, vibrant life?
Yes — that is absolutely on the table.

If you’re a parent navigating PANS or PANDAS, you already know how overwhelming it can feel.

The sudden behavior changes, anxiety, mood swings, tics, regressions… and then the frustration of being told “they’ll grow out of it” or “there’s not much else to do.”

The truth is:
Parents aren’t imagining it.

These kids need support — and real answers.
At ACLC, we’ve walked alongside families dealing with PANS/PANDAS, and what we see again and again is this:

When the nervous system is overwhelmed, inflamed, and stuck in a constant threat-response, symptoms spiral.

But when you restore brain–body communication, calm the stress response, and help the system regulate again…

kids can heal.

We’ve had parents tell us that after care, their child looks and acts so differently that you’d never know they once carried that diagnosis.

That’s the power of supporting the nervous system — it doesn’t “mask” symptoms… it helps the body function again.

If you’re out there feeling discouraged, unseen, or like you’ve tried everything:

You’re not alone, and your child’s nervous system has more potential than you’ve been told.
We’re here to help you explore that path. 💛

“I 100% have been able to set better boundaries and I protect my peace at all costs! Not saying yes when I don’t want to. I’m focusing more on who and what I want in my life.” -Missi

When patients first start care, they’re usually working through some intense challenges, so we see them more frequently to help the body find balance and healing.

Once that phase is complete, many choose to move into a wellness plan — coming in at a lower frequency to keep their nervous system optimized, build resilience, and take a proactive approach to life’s ups and downs.

Before care, Missi said she “used to just do whatever anyone wanted (her) to.” Now, she’s happier, calmer, and better able to handle stress — all because her nervous system is functioning at its best.

“Dr. Mack has been a major part of why I’ve felt so great over the years. And when I’m not doing good, she helps get me through that bad time!” 💛

She’s one of our amazing weekly wellness Practice Members — and her continued growth and transformation with Dr. Lindsay’s care has been incredible to witness!

Can you really be stuck in fight or flight for years?

Yes — and if you’ve been living with chronic stress, unresolved trauma, or a body that feels “always on,” your nervous system may be doing just that.

Fight or flight is your body’s built-in survival mode. It’s meant to protect you in short bursts, like running from danger or reacting to a sudden threat. But when the nervous system stays in that state long-term, it stops being protective and starts creating patterns that affect your emotions, energy, and physical health.

Here’s what that can look like:

Emotional rollercoasters: feeling anxious, irritable, or reactive over small things

“Mystery” physical symptoms: tension, headaches, digestive issues, fatigue, or unexplained pain

Trouble focusing, zoning out, or mental fog

Relationship struggles: withdrawal, people-pleasing, or fear of vulnerability

Your body is essentially stuck in survival mode, reacting as if danger is still present — even if you’re safe now. That’s why these symptoms can feel confusing, disconnected, or like they “come out of nowhere.”

How do you get out of it?

It’s not about forcing yourself to relax or “think your way out.” Long-term fight or flight rewires your nervous system, and it needs physical and nervous system support to reset.

At ACLC, we focus on:

Calming the nervous system through gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustments

Restoring communication between your brain and body so stress responses can normalize

Helping your body learn that it’s safe again — which lets your emotions, energy, and even mystery symptoms settle

Being stuck in fight or flight isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign that your nervous system has been working overtime to keep you safe. And with the right support, it can learn to relax again — giving you relief from symptoms you’ve been carrying for years.

Long-COVID symptoms were taking over Sheila’s life.

That’s what brought her through our doors — months of post-COVID struggles affecting her sleep, digestion, energy, pain levels, and overall ability to feel like herself.

Restless leg syndrome… deep, lingering pain… digestion issues that kept her up or woke her throughout the night… and a nervous system stuck in survival mode instead of healing mode.

Sheila began care at ACLC with one main goal: better sleep and less pain.

After completing an intensive care plan and finding real relief, she chose to continue with wellness care — and the progress hasn’t stopped.

Today, Sheila reports:

• No more panic attacks

• Deeper, more consistent sleep

• More energy

• The ability to exercise more

• And this fall… no illness at all

When asked what she likes most about our office, she shared:

“There is no pain with treatment. (I) love the people. I love how you feel when you walk in and in every part of the practice, and how accommodating you all are when life happens. I appreciate that so much.”

This is the heart of wellness chiropractic care — especially post-COVID.

Not just getting someone out of a tough season… but rebuilding a nervous system that’s resilient, adaptable, and healthy enough to keep you sleeping well, digesting well, fighting off illness, and handling stress without crashing.

Sheila’s progress is exactly why we emphasize long-term nervous system wellness.

What life can look like with a healthy nervous system 💜

12/08/2025

“Stuck on SLOW” looks like:

• Low energy / tired

• Low motivation

• Slow digestion / tummy aches

• Shutdown / overwhelmed

• Zoning out / staring

• Withdrawal

• Avoidance anxiety

“Stuck on GO” looks like:

• Big emotions

• Fast frustration

• Can’t sit still

• Restless sleep

• Headaches / tight muscles

• Nausea with stress

• Panic / meltdown-style anxiety

At ACLC, we help shift those stuck neural pathways, so your child’s nervous system can adapt, regulate, and finally start healing.

A lot.

You are not crazy. The body doesn't make mistakes. If you've tried everything, your nervous system may be overwhelmed and stuck in stress.
