Mamas, we see you.

Up every hour. Walking the halls at 3am. Holding your screaming baby upright for hours because laying them down means pain. Watching them arch their back, spit up constantly, refuse to eat, and cry inconsolably.

You’ve tried everything:
-Reflux medication that barely helps
-Four different formulas
-Elevated bassinet sleeping
-Smaller, more frequent feeds
-Cutting out dairy, soy, and everything from your diet

And nothing is working.

Your baby’s reflux isn’t just a stomach problem, it’s a stressed out nervous system.

The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) controls the valve between your baby’s esophagus and stomach. It tells that valve when to open, when to close, and how to coordinate digestion with breathing and swallowing.

When there’s a subluxation (misalignment) at C1 or C2—which is incredibly common from birth trauma, even in “easy” births—it creates interference in vagus nerve function.

That interference means:
❌ The stomach valve doesn’t close properly
❌ Digestion is disrupted
❌ Their body stays in fight-or-flight mode
❌ They can’t calm down or relax enough to keep food down

Your baby isn’t broken. Their medication dose doesn’t need adjusting. They don’t need a new formula.
They need their nervous system checked by a pediatric chiropractor.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments (pressure so light you could check a tomato for ripeness) remove the subluxation at C1/C2. (Continued in comments)

📢 New mamas !!

We *hope*🤞you aren’t starting your week off this way, but sometimes life just gets us and pain happens!

Let’s break down one of the most common areas- low back and leg pain! That “sciatica” everyone keeps diagnosing you with.. except it’s probably not sciatica.

True sciatica is nerve compression at the lumbar spine—usually from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.
It’s actually pretty rare.

What you’re experiencing 90% of the time is REFERRAL PAIN that mimics sciatica but comes from completely different sources:

SI Joint Dysfunction - When your sacroiliac joint (where your pelvis meets your spine) is misaligned or inflamed, it refers pain down your leg that feels identical to sciatica. Shooting pain, burning, numbness—all the same symptoms, different source.

Piriformis Syndrome - Your piriformis muscle sits right on top of your sciatic nerve. When it’s tight or spasming (often from pelvic misalignment), it compresses the nerve and creates sciatica-like symptoms. But it’s a MUSCLE problem, not a nerve root problem.

Pelvic Imbalance - Pregnancy, falls, repetitive movements, poor posture—these create pelvic imbalances that put pressure on nerves and refer pain down the leg.

Here’s why this matters:

If you’re treating true sciatica when you actually have SI joint dysfunction, you’re chasing the WRONG THING. Anti-inflammatories, nerve pain medication, even surgery—none of it will fix a mechanical pelvic problem.

Chiropractic adjustments address the ROOT cause. We assess whether it’s your SI joint, your piriformis, your pelvis, or actual nerve compression—and we correct the dysfunction at the source.

We’ve seen countless people told they have “chronic sciatica” experience complete relief after we adjusted their pelvis and SI joint. Because it was never sciatica in the first place.

Stop treating the wrong thing. Get to the root. 🌳💗

You’ve likely seen this beautiful shining face in person by now, but it’s time to introduce AND wish the face of our front desk, Ashland, a very happy birthday!

Here’s a bit on her, in her own words:

‘Hi I’m Ashland! I turn 27 today!! I recently moved back from Tennessee but I was born and mostly raised here in Michigan City. I’ve spent the last 12 years being a sous chef, kitchen manager or corporate trainer chef, until I made the decision to move into the health and wellness world with the Giving Tree team. You can often find me in the office having a concert, cracking jokes with patients, laughing way too loudly or playing with the kiddos around the office. When I’m not at work, I spend my time with family/friends, reading, or finding a good movie and if its nice out, you’ll always find me by a lake enjoying nature and the sound of the waves.’

Ashland is the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. Her massive heart sets the tone and her fabulous personality keeps the spirits high! Be sure to wish her a very happy birthday next time you see her- if you’re lucky she’ll respond in her southern accent 😉💚🌳✨
