Does your child struggle with multiple health challenges that you know in your “gut” feels like they are all somewhat related?? 🤔
Well, you’re probably right! Most of our kids’ health issues are linked to something called the Vagus Nerve. While we could write a book on the symptoms of Vagus Nerve disorders - the key to this post is to understand why the Vagus Nerve is tied to these struggles and then most importantly how to help it! 👏
Simply put, Vagus Nerve disorders can negatively affect almost every element of your child’s health. We know infants’ most important health functions start with the “basics” — eating, pooping, and sleeping. 😴 Then, the motor system, immune system, communication (speech), and emotional regulation begin to develop… but can get off track as the child gets older if the Vagus Nerve dysfunction remains.
Our Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractors at Rooted Chiropractic see many Vagus Nerve struggles traced all the way back to birth trauma, such as prolonged labor or using instruments like forceps during delivery, ⚒️can potentially cause damage to the Vagus Nerve. Especially because the Vagus Nerve is extra sensitive to physical trauma in the neck and thorax, as well as toxins and inflammation.
