The Screen Time Effect: How Digital Overload Impacts Your Child’s Brain, Posture & Nervous System
In today’s digital world, kids (and adults!) are spending more time on screens than ever—but at what cost? Excessive screen time isn’t just a vision or posture issue; it rewires brain function, disrupts nervous system adaptability, and impacts focus, sleep, and emotional regulation. Learn how technology affects the prefrontal cortex, why the brain struggles to differentiate video games from reality, and how chiropractic care helps reset nervous system balance for healthier development.
Adenoid Face & Mouth Breathing: The Hidden Impact on Development
Is your child always breathing through their mouth? Chronic mouth breathing can reshape facial development, impact sleep, and signal deeper neurological stress. Discover how chiropractic care helps restore healthy airway function.

Breaking the OCD Cycle: A Neurological Approach to Healing & Freedom
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) isn’t just a mental health condition—it’s a sign of nervous system dysregulation. Discover how brain function, the vagus nerve, and chiropractic adjustments play a role in breaking OCD cycles
The Developmental Hierarchy: Understanding Your Child’s Neurological Growth
Child development isn’t just about milestones—it follows a structured neurological hierarchy. If a child struggles with emotions, coordination, or learning, it may be because an earlier stage was skipped. In this blog, we break down Dr. Tony Ebel’s Developmental Hierarchy and how chiropractic care helps build a strong foundation for lifelong growth
Retained Primitive Reflexes in Kids: The Missing Link to Learning, Behavior, and Brain Development
Primitive reflexes should naturally integrate as a child’s nervous system matures, but when they don’t, they can impact movement, focus, and emotional regulation. Many parents turn to therapies, but without addressing the nervous system, true progress is limited. Discover how chiropractic care helps integrate retained reflexes for lasting development.
Chiropractic & The Immune System: The Science Behind Subluxation-Based Care

Helping Kids Handle Big Emotions: A Parent’s Guide to Emotional Resilience & Nervous System Health
Helping kids handle big emotions is one of the most important skills parents can nurture. Since a child’s prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for emotional regulation—is still developing, they often rely on their amygdala to process emotions, leading to big reactions. In this blog, we’ll explore why kids struggle with emotional regulation, practical strategies parents can use to support them, and the critical role the nervous system plays in emotional resilience. Plus, we’ll dive into Dr. Heidi Haavik’s research on how chiropractic adjustments engage the prefrontal cortex and how parents act as the “brake” to help children navigate their emotions.
Understanding Sensory Processing Through a Nervous System Lens: Addressing the Root Cause
Many children struggle with sensory processing because of an imbalanced nervous system, often stuck in a fight-or-flight response. In this blog, we’ll explore how the autonomic nervous system impacts sensory integration, the role of early life stress, and how chiropractic care helps restore balance—allowing kids to experience the world with ease
