Gentle. Specific. Intentional.
Pediatric chiropractic care isn’t about “cracking” — it’s about supporting the nervous system during some of the most important stages of development.

The atlas (top neck bone) can be stressed during birth — especially with long labor, assisted delivery, or C-section.
When addressed early, it may help support:
• improved latching
• resolution of torticollis
• healthier ear drainage
• reduced eye and sinus irritation

Always gentle. Always specific. Always baby-led. 🤍

Precise adjustments help your body:
• Move better over time
• Adapt to stress more efficiently
• Maintain joint integrity as you age
• Support posture, mobility, and recovery
• Function the way it was designed to

You don’t wait until your teeth hurt to brush them. Your spine deserves the same long-term care.

True health happens when data and lived experience work together.

Labs, scans, and metrics show us what’s happening.
Your symptoms, stress, habits, and emotions tell us how it’s happening.

When we honor both, we stop guessing and start healing.

The functional neurology of the brainstem ends around C3

So when there’s a problem at the top of the spine the skull (C1, C2, or C3) can create direct neurological pressure on the part of your brain that controls:

• digestion
• breathing
• heart rate
• stress response

This is the most primal part of your nervous system, it’s the system that plugs you into life itself.

When upper cervical issues go uncorrected, we often see “mystery” symptoms like:

▫️ bilateral hand pain or swelling
▫️ bilateral foot pain or swelling
▫️ vagus nerve dysfunction / dysautonomia
▫️ migraines
▫️ tooth pain
▫️ recurrent ear infections in kids

Not random.
Not separate.
All neurologically connected.i

When the upper cervical spine is corrected, the body can finally regulate again.

This means people digest better, they breathe better, they feel clearer, and they heal.

It’s not just alignment, it’s waking the nervous system back up.

The sacrum houses critical nerve pathways between your spine and pelvis.
When it’s restricted, neurological signals become distorted.

A specific sacral correction reduces interference, improves neural flow, and helps the body regulate itself again from posture to organ function to pain response.

This is definitely not AI…🤭

Sometimes the first adjustment isn’t the finish line, it’s the roadmap.

Your body has layers of tension, compensation, and guarding. That’s why some joints need to be checked, reset, and re-addressed.

It’s not about force, it’s about precision, timing, and letting the nervous system respond so the correction can truly hold.

EBOO is doing some pretty incredible things.

We are not separate from nature, we are nature.

Toxins and low oxygenation create isolation and eventual toxicity.

Remove the interference, charge the blood to charge your cells and watch what can happen!

A PEX tibia isn’t just a random knee finding, it’s a structural issue that can change how your entire knee joint functions.

This pattern is commonly associated with meniscus irritation or tears, especially if you’re noticing:
• Locking or catching in the knee
• Clicking or popping that gets worse with activity (not better)
• Instability or weakness when squatting, running, or cutting

In Gonstead chiropractic, we don’t just chase symptoms, we correct foundation problems.

When the tibia is misaligned, it changes how the femur tracks, how the meniscus loads, and how the muscles fire around the knee.

Over time, that abnormal stress can contribute to further meniscus damage, chronic inflammation, and decreased performance.

By specifically setting the tibia back to its proper position, we help:
✔ Restore joint mechanics
✔ Improve muscle activation and strength
✔ Reduce abnormal meniscus stress
✔ Decrease the likelihood of the tear progressing

Your knee is a hinge joint, but it only works properly when the foundation is level. Structural corrections create structural healing.

If your knee is clicking, catching, or feeling unstable—don’t ignore it. The sooner the foundation is corrected, the better the long-term outcome.

Chiropractic isn’t about “cracking bones.”
It’s about input to the nervous system.

Specific adjustments send precise sensory signals to the brain, improving proprioception, motor control, and how your brain maps your body.

Better input = better output.
That’s neuroscience in motion.
