Just because something is common does not mean it’s normal. 🤓.

All too often parents have legitimate concerns ❤️ about their kiddos that get dismissed &/or chalked up as “normal.” 🥺.

But frequency of occurrence does not necessarily mean “normal.” For example, just because all babies cry 😢, & some more than others 😭, does not mean that colic or excessive crying are normal.

I sometimes wonder if “it’s normal” & “they’ll outgrow it” have become synonymous with “I don’t know how to help.” 🤷🏻‍♂️. And, to be clear, I’m not judging intent or character by any means… it just seems like maybe there’s been a loss of standards for what true health is & where it comes from.

And look, we don’t have all the answers… we may actually only have just a few? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔. But with that, we’ve seen thousands of struggling “normals” transform into happy, healthy, & thriving kiddos.

For this cutie 🥰 , & so many we have had the pleasure of working with, her little body was tense 😬 causing nervous system 🧠 to be out of balance & dysregulated. •
Good thing we know a thing or two about regulation 🤓, & could help 🙌.

Are you looking for natural options to optimize your kid’s health? Let us know. We’d love to talk.

It’s the calming 🧘 portion, often referred to as the “Rest 😴 & Digest 💩 mechanism. It offsets & counterbalances the “Fight or Flight” response triggered by stress (through the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system) 🤓.

Movement, especially to areas of the spine that have been stiff or stuck, creates a parasympathetic response... essentially, movement helps create “movements” 😂..

And, well, you know what they say... “the proof is in the p**ping.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

He was “getting another ear infection” when they first came into the office. He’d already had 4 in the past 6 months 😩. They tried three different antibiotics 💊, which seemed to help, at least briefly. And, he even suffered a ruptured ear drum.

It didn’t seem like anything was really working 🥵, and nobody was addressing the elephant 🐘 in the room of “why’s he keep getting them?” 😔

While common, ear infections are not normal. Actually health is normal. And, also, while many kids might suffer from ear infections, multiple infections in a short amount of time certainly isn’t normal… at all.

But when you understand the anatomy and physiology in a functional way, it makes sense.

We’ve found that most cases of ear infections in kids develop from an accumulation of fluid in the middle ear… it gets stuck & then stagnant. And, well, stagnant fluid grows 🦠 nasty stuff. And side not, the bacteria is already in there and are not the bad guys… it’s the fluid that serves as a medium for culturing & overgrowth of them. Bacteria are actually necessary for health & life… as long as they are balanced in our bodies.

So the “🐘 in the room” question is “why the accumulation of fluid?”

Well, in this case (& hundreds like him we’ve helped), a significant amount of tension in his neck was likely compromising the Eustachian tubes ability to drain. The plumbing 🪠 was clogged.

And, after some gentle chiropractic adjustments, this dude’s 😎 parents have reported that he’s healthier happier, and ear infection free! Cool addition, he did even started to develop some congestion while under care, “which would have turned into an ear infection like it always has before”, but it didn’t! 🙌👊.
