80% of children suffer from ear infections?!? Let's do something about that... And no, the answer isn't to prescribe antibiotics for a VIRAL ear infection. Let's get to the root cause instead!! To read more about how chiropractic can help get to the root cause of ear infections, visit the link in our bio! 🫶

After 10 rounds of antibiotics 💊 and three failed tube surgeries, Kyle's family knew they couldn’t keep going down the same path. His determined, resilient mom was on a mission to find a real, lasting solution.
Every time Kyle caught a cold, it inevitably turned into an ear infection. Between feeling unwell and frequent doctor visits, he was missing a significant amount of school and never truly felt like himself.
Additionally, Kyle often complained of stomach troubles. After meals, he would lie on the couch, in pain, unwilling to get up or do anything. 😞
With his twin sister already under care for emotional regulation challenges, Mom decided to take a leap of faith, hoping chiropractic care might help Kyle, even though his symptoms were different. 🙏
Mom shared, “I was surprised that Kyle’s scans were very similar to his sister's, even though their issues were different. I was happy to see that a lot of his stomach problems and ear infections could be connected.”
Fast forward a year: Kyle hasn’t had a single ear infection since starting chiropractic care—and hardly ever complains about stomach pain. 🎉
Mom says, “Kyle is active and healthy. No more worrying about tubes in his ears or frequent ENT visits. He’s doing well in school, loves playing sports, and is trying new foods. He’s only missed a few days of school this year compared to last year.”
Way to go, Kyle! 💥

Ryan was constantly getting sick, and his family was desperate for a solution. 😩
Mom said, “When I first reached out to PX Docs, Ryan was always getting sick. His asthma only acts up with illness, and it seemed like with every cold, he would go into bronchospasms that we could not control. He would end up using his rescue inhaler, his neb machine, and oral steroids just to control what was going on.
Many times, we ended up in the ER and urgent care. I finally decided we needed to do something because it would affect his school and his quality of life.
We tried so many doctors, but the reality is once you are in that 24 hr coughing fit, the only thing that would work was the steroids, which, with such frequent use, can be so bad for the body.” ‼️
That’s when they decided to try a totally different type of care. One that would get to the root cause of his overactive and completely overwhelming immune response: a dysregulated nervous system. 👇🏼
After starting care, Mom said they knew it was working when he got a cold, and it was just like everyone else’s cold, and didn’t completely wipe him out.
She said, “When he got his first cold while under care, I was amazed that it was just a regular cough; we did not need any rescue inhalers, neb treatments, and no bronchospasms, which meant no oral steroids. I was so relieved.” 😌
Now, with continued and consistent care, they have seen so many changes. “He has not missed nearly as much school this year and can get through a cold like everyone else and not end up hooked to neb machines and steroids. I love it.” They are even going to talk to his asthma MD about changing to a lower dose or even stopping his inhaler.
Way to go, Ryan!! 🎉

You’ve Tried Everything for Speech… Here’s What Everyone Overlooks
You've been there. Sitting in yet another speech therapy appointment, watching your child struggle through the same exercises you've practiced countless times at home. You've followed every recommendation, invested thousands of dollars, and dedicated hours each week to speech drills and muscle exercises. Yet here you are, months or even years later, with your little one still struggling to communicate clearly while other children their age chatter away effortlessly.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and more importantly, you're not missing anything as a parent. The gap isn't in your dedication or your child's effort. The missing piece is that nearly 1 in 12 U.S. children ages 3-17 experience voice, speech, language, or swallowing disorders, and the vast majority are receiving the same traditional approach that focuses on the "output"—the speech muscles and sounds—while completely missing what's happening "upstream" in the brain and nervous system.
The real problem isn't that your child needs more speech drills or muscle exercises. The problem is that stress and interference within their nervous system is disrupting the very foundation of how speech develops and functions.
Meet Coen: When Everything Changed
Let me tell you about Coen, whose transformation perfectly illustrates what we're talking about. Before finding Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, Coen had a severe speech delay with difficulty initiating sounds and very little sound production. His parents were exhausted, searching everywhere for answers beyond traditional speech therapy because everything they read stated that "Coen's struggles were neurological in origin."
They kept asking themselves, "There must be some way to stimulate his nervous system!" When they finally found a PX Doc trained in neurological care, the scans revealed exactly what they suspected—there was a disconnect with how Coen's nervous system was processing information and coordinating actions like movement and speech. His parents said, "Looking through his scans and talking with the doctors, it all made sense why he was struggling and why progress had been very slow."
Then came the breakthrough. About two months into neurologically-focused care, "it seemed like a switch flipped for Coen. He started producing way more sounds than before. He began initiating sounds and words on his own without prompting from others... lately, he has just been talking away!"
Today, Coen has gained about three years of progress in just three months and has finished speech services, having met all his goals in record time.
Understanding How Speech Actually Works: The Three-Step Process You Need to Know
Here's what most parents (and even many providers) don't understand: speech production is a complex, sequential 3-step neurological process.
Step 1: Input
First, sensory and auditory signals are received by the brain. This includes hearing sounds, feeling the position of the tongue and mouth, and processing visual cues from watching others speak.
Step 2: Integration
The brain processes and integrates this information, creating a plan for how to coordinate all the different muscles needed for speech.
Step 3: Output
Finally, the brain sends coordinated signals to speech muscles to produce the desired sounds and words.
Here's the crucial insight: While most people assume speech delays stem from muscle problems in the output stage, the real issues typically occur "upstream" in the brain and nervous system's input and integration phases.
When subluxation and nervous system dysfunction interfere with these early stages, no amount of muscle exercises or speech drills can fully compensate for the neurological breakdown happening in the brain. This is why your child can work so hard in speech therapy but still struggle—you're working on step 3 when the problem is in steps 1 and 2.
The Real Culprits: Understanding Subluxation and Its Impact
Subluxation refers to misalignment and neurological interference within the nervous system that disrupts brain-body communication pathways. This interference:
* Affects nerve signals controlling speech muscles
* Leads to difficulties in motor planning (apraxia)
* Creates abnormal muscle tone and coordination issues in the mouth, face, and respiratory muscles
The connection to birth: Birth interventions like forceps, vacuum extraction, and C-sections can physically injure the delicate upper cervical area and brainstem regions that house critical nerves controlling speech and communication. Even "normal" births can create stress on these vital areas.
The Vagus Nerve: Your Child's Communication Highway
One of the most critical—yet often overlooked—factors in speech development is the vagus nerve. This nerve controls the vocal cords through its recurrent laryngeal branch, and when it's not functioning properly, it leads to:
* Problems with vocalization, pitch, volume, and speech clarity
* Difficulty with the precise coordination of breathing and swallowing required for clear speech
* Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system keeps children stuck in "fight or flight" mode
When the vagus nerve is not working properly, it keeps your child's nervous system in a stressed state, which further exacerbates speech and communication problems. Your child literally cannot access their full communication potential when their nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
Why Speech Delays Signal Deeper Developmental Issues
As a parent, it's important to understand that speech is a complex function that develops only after more foundational milestones have been achieved. These include:
* Nervous system regulation
* Gross motor coordination
* Gut-brain health
* Basic sensory processing
If your child's brain and body are still working on these foundational "projects," they simply don't have the neurological resources available to focus on higher-level functions like speech, socialization, and emotional regulation.
This explains why many children with speech delays also struggle with:
* Digestive issues
* Sleep problems
* Sensory processing challenges
* Missed gross motor milestones
It's all connected through the nervous system. Recognizing this connection empowers you to address the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
Taking Charge: A Different Approach to Your Child's Speech Development
Understanding the neurological foundations of speech development puts you in the driver's seat of your child's health journey. Here's how a neurologically-focused approach addresses the real root causes:
Step 1: Identifying the "Perfect Storm"
This begins with examining your child's case history, particularly birth trauma and early life stressors that create neurological dysfunction. You know your child's history better than anyone—trust your instincts about what might have contributed to their challenges.
Step 2: Advanced Neurological Assessment
Specialized INSiGHT Neurological Scans can precisely locate and measure subluxation and nervous system dysfunction that conventional providers cannot detect. These scans provide objective data about how your child's nervous system is functioning.
Step 3: Gentle, Specific Care
Through gentle, specific neurologically-focused adjustments, proper nerve function and brain-body communication can be restored, allowing your child's natural speech development to finally unfold as it should.
Your Role as an Empowered Parent
You are your child's best advocate. If traditional speech therapy isn't producing the progress you know your child is capable of, trust your instincts. You have the right to:
* Ask questions about the neurological foundations of your child's speech challenges
* Seek providers who look at the whole child, not just the symptoms
* Explore care that addresses root causes rather than just managing effects
* Expect real progress, not just slow incremental changes
Your child's struggles are not a reflection of your parenting, their effort, or a lack of trying hard enough. They may simply need a different approach—one that addresses the neurological interference preventing their natural abilities from emerging.
Moving Forward with Hope and Purpose
Every child has an innate drive to communicate and connect. When that drive seems blocked or delayed, it's often because something is interfering with their nervous system's ability to coordinate this complex process.
At Foundations Chiropractic, we understand that the neurological foundations of speech development doesn't mean abandoning speech therapy—it means ensuring that your child's nervous system is optimized so that traditional therapies can be more effective.
The breakthrough your family has been searching for may be closer than you think. It might just require looking at your child's speech challenges through a different lens—one that honors the complex, incredible connection between the nervous system and communication. So if you’re ready to dive into the true root cause of your child’s speech delays, please reach out to Foundations Chiropractic today! If you are not local to us, check out the PX Docs directory to find an office near you.
Remember: You know your child best. Trust your instincts, ask the deeper questions, and don't settle for "this is just how it is" when your heart tells you there's more to the story.

The Missing Piece to Helping Your Child’s Chronic Illnesses
As a parent, you want nothing more than to see your child thrive. You've probably spent countless nights worrying when they struggle with sleep, meltdowns, focus issues, or mysterious health problems that seem to have no clear cause. You've likely tried everything your pediatrician suggested, maybe even worked with specialists, yet somehow you still feel like you're missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.
What if I told you that the key to unlocking your child's full potential might be hiding in plain sight within their own body? The secret lies in something called nervous system regulation—and understanding it could transform your approach to your child's health and well-being.
Jake's Story: From Explosive Meltdowns to National Champion
Let me share Jake's story with you. When Jake turned 2.5, his parents watched their sweet, smiling little boy transform. Suddenly, he began experiencing intense tantrums, crying spells, and explosive angry reactions that seemed to come from nowhere. When triggered, his anger would escalate quickly—yelling, stomping, calling himself "stupid," and sometimes even hitting himself.
His parents felt helpless. With every outburst, they grew more desperate. They had conversations with pediatricians, attended weekly therapy sessions, sat through countless school meetings with teachers and social workers, navigated 504 plan discussions—all while longing for peace for Jake and hoping to bring calmness back to their family.
After an especially explosive event at a martial arts competition, Jake's family knew they needed a completely different approach. They had heard about Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care from a friend and decided to take a chance.
The transformation didn't happen overnight, but with consistency and time to help rewire and regulate Jake's nervous system, they began to see remarkable changes. After about 3-4 months, Jake's mom noticed he appeared calmer. He began using his words to express his feelings instead of reacting explosively. He was less anxious, less combative, and less intense overall.
But here's the most incredible part: Jake went on to compete in the AAU National Karate Tournament, where he took home two gold medals—becoming a National Champion in two events! The same child who once struggled with explosive anger had learned to channel his energy and emotions in a completely different way.
Understanding Your Child's Nervous System: The Foundation of Health
So what exactly happened with Jake? To understand this transformation, you need to know about nervous system regulation—something that affects every aspect of your child's health but is often overlooked in traditional healthcare approaches.
What Is Nervous System Regulation?
Think of your child's nervous system as the master control center for their entire body. It helps keep everything balanced and stable, ensuring that every bodily system can communicate effectively and work in harmony. This state of balance is called homeostasis.
When your child's nervous system is properly regulated, everything functions optimally:
* Basic functions like sleeping, eating, and digestion work smoothly
* Advanced functions like controlling inflammation and managing immune responses operate effectively
* Mental, emotional, and cognitive health remain stable and resilient
When Things Go Wrong: The Signs of Dysregulation
When your child's nervous system becomes overly stressed and imbalanced, it enters a state called nervous system dysregulation. This can manifest in many different ways, often starting with disruptions to basic health functions.
Early warning signs you might notice:
* Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
* Digestive issues or irregular eating patterns
* Mood swings or emotional instability
* Low energy or hyperactivity
* Trouble with emotional regulation
If you're seeing these challenges in your child, they're not character flaws or behavioral problems—they're signs that your child's nervous system needs support.
The Autonomic Nervous System: Your Child's Internal Thermostat
The key to understanding nervous system regulation lies in something called the autonomic nervous system. This system controls and coordinates all the major functions of your child's body, managing trillions of cells almost entirely on "autopilot."
The autonomic nervous system has two main branches:
The Sympathetic System ("Fight or Flight"): This kicks in during times of stress, danger, or high activity. It's designed to help your child respond to challenges, but it's not meant to be constantly activated.
The Parasympathetic System ("Rest, Relax, and Regulate"): This is where the magic happens. When this system is active, your child's body can rest, repair, restore, and regulate itself.
The Vagus Nerve: This crucial nerve is primarily responsible for activating the "rest and regulate" response. If your child has any damage or dysfunction in their vagus nerve, their nervous system will struggle to find balance and regulation.
The Perfect Storm: How Dysregulation Develops
Nervous system dysregulation doesn't happen overnight—it often develops through what experts call "The Perfect Storm" of stressors and challenges.
In infancy, this might look like:
* Difficulty nursing and eating
* Trouble soothing and sleeping
* Being colicky and fussy
* Acid reflux or constipation
* Skin issues like eczema
As children grow, you might see:
* Chronic ear infections
* Respiratory and immune system struggles
* Difficulties with motor planning and developmental milestones
* Challenges reaching age-appropriate developmental markers
Eventually, a dysregulated nervous system can manifest as:
* Big emotions and frequent meltdowns
* Attention and focus challenges
* Sensory processing difficulties
* Behaviors that look like ADHD or autism spectrum characteristics
Factors That Can Contribute to Dysregulation
Understanding what can contribute to nervous system dysregulation empowers you to be more aware and proactive about your child's health:
* Birth-related stress: Difficult pregnancies, birth interventions, or traumatic birth experiences
* Environmental toxins: Exposure to chemicals, pollutants, or other harmful substances
* Physical trauma: Falls, accidents, or even repetitive strain from things like heavy backpacks
* Emotional stress: Family changes, school pressure, or social challenges
* Poor nutrition: Diets high in processed foods or lacking essential nutrients
* Lack of movement: Sedentary lifestyles that don't support healthy nervous system development
Taking Action: What You Can Do as a Parent
The good news is that nervous system dysregulation isn't permanent. Your child's nervous system has an incredible capacity for healing and adaptation when given the right support.
This is where Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care comes in, and this is what Foundations Chiropractic does best. Like what helped Jake, we advanced scanning technology, INSiGHT Scans, to identify areas of nervous system stress and then gentle adjusting techniques to help restore balance.
This approach doesn't rely on medications or invasive procedures. Instead, it works with your child's natural healing capacity to help their nervous system return to a state of regulation and optimal function.
Your Child's Potential Is Waiting
Imagine a world where your child can face life's challenges with resilience, focus with ease, and truly thrive. That's the power of a well-regulated nervous system. Your child doesn't have to struggle with ongoing health issues, behavioral challenges, or developmental delays.
You don't have to wait for problems to worsen or accept that "this is just how your child is." Nervous system regulation can be supported and optimized at any stage of your child's development, so don’t wait to call Foundations Chiropractic today! If you are not local to us, check out the PX Docs directory to find an office near you.
You have more power than you might realize to influence your child's health and well-being. By understanding nervous system regulation and taking proactive steps to support it, you're giving your child one of the greatest gifts possible: the foundation for lifelong health, resilience, and success.

When Kallyn was born with shoulder dystocia, it left him with a neck injury that made it extremely difficult for him to turn his head to the right. As first-time parents, we were overwhelmed and unsure of how to help him—especially since his pediatrician didn’t offer any real guidance. It was emotionally and physically exhausting trying to figure everything out on our own. He developed a flat spot on his head from always laying in the same position, and we tried everything from online exercises to physical therapy and even a helmet.

But the moment we came to Foundations Chiropractic, everything changed. Dr. Mike gave Kallyn immediate attention and care that made all the difference. The entire team made us feel seen and supported, treating Kallyn like he was their own. His neurological scans confirmed what we already suspected about his neck, but it was eye-opening to see how far-reaching the stress was in his body. After starting care, we saw incredible improvements—he began moving more freely, sleeping better, and just seemed overall happier. Today, he’s thriving. He has full mobility in his neck, his digestion and sleep have improved, and he’s a constantly moving, joy-filled little boy. We’re beyond grateful for the love and care we received. 💚
