“Just like the rest of the cranial nerves, the accessory nerve innervating the upper back and neck responds to a specific kind of emotional distress, and this is a feeling of being ‘unable to turn the body, head or neck sufficiently.’ If we have difficulty moving our head or neck, and if this causes acute emotional distress, then the accessory nerve immediately responds to adapt the muscles of the neck and back. Along with this response, there occurs a partial paralysis of the smooth musculature that lines the outer wall of the trapezius.

Because they are embryologically linked, this unique distress affecting the accessory nerve can simultaneously activate the vagus nerve to signal a peristaltic immobility in the intestines. In other words, the unique emotional distress of ‘not being able to move the head or neck sufficiently,’ can lead to a simultaneous peristaltic constipation in the intestines!” –John Ohm

By understanding the connection between the nervous system, our emotions and infant digestion, we can gain new insight into why infants experience constipation and indigestion.

Pediatric chiropractic care’s ability to provide specific adjustments to the head and neck, along with recognizing specific forms of infant distress, illuminates how we can foster better digestion for our infants’ and support their nervous system’s functioning.

❄❄Winter Weather Update! ❄❄

It appears it is time for our first potential snow storm of the season. Of course, safety is our top priority and we want to stay ahead of any potential danger due to inclement weather.

That being said, the office will now be CLOSED on MONDAY 1/6/2025 due to the incoming storm. If you are scheduled for an appointment tomorrow, you can expect a member of the team to reach out to you via phone, text or email.

We appreciate your understanding and hope everyone stays safe and warm!

As we close out 2024, I wanted to say, what a year it has been! It's been officially 8 months since I became the proud new owner of Garden State Family Chiropractic and let me tell you, I am so Grateful!!

Grateful to Dr. Dana for bringing me into this wonderful practice and community over FIVE years ago (wow, time flies!!). Thanks for the opportunity, support and help along the way and believing this office would be in good hands.

Grateful to our amazing patients for continuing on with me and all of your kind words of encouragement, seeing me from a coverage doc to new associate to now. I appreciate your continued dedication to your health. To our past, current and new patients who have joined us since, I am ao grateful that you have trusted me in the care of yourselves and your beautiful families, especially those precious babies I absolutely adore so much!

Grateful to my entire staff for their dedication and hardwork in helping to see the office through the transition process earlier this year, which no doubt had been a little stressful at times, but they took it all in stride. Thank you Lauren, Torri, and of course, from behind the scenes our biller and my wonderful mother, Melissa! Also thank you to our newest addition, Jen and our most adorable office employee, baby Quinn! Im so glad you guys have joined us!

Grateful to my rock, Chris, as he helped and supported me every step of the way. I would not be lucky enough to be in this position without him. I love you! ❤️

Grateful to my one of a kind Uncle Jim who also was a huge help in supporting me, helping me get where I am and our regular dinners for us to talk business and life and everything in between.

And of course, thank you to all of my other friends and family who have been supportive of my goals, helped me in any way and lent an ear or shoulder when it was needed. You guys are the best.

For fear of this being even more long winded than I already was, I'll end with saying that this year has been one for the books and I am so excited to see where the next one takes us!

Here's to 2025! ✨

With so much love, your owner and Chiropractor, Dr. Rebecca Connor ❤️ 🎉
