Chiropractic can be a tremendous help for kids’ behavior. When the child’s nervous system is under stress from spinal misalignment/ vertebral subluxation, it puts the whole body in a “fight or flight” state. Parents with their kids chronically in this state tell us their kids seem like they can “never put on the brakes.” This is exactly the state that the brain is in when the spine is subluxated. A fight or flight, “gas always on” state. These kids are often in physical pain, but it goes much deeper.
Their nervous systems literally cannot shut down and relax because they’re always in an adrenal-cortisol stress state. Chiropractic has been proven clinically in many studies to reduce the “fight or flight” also known as sympathetic tone by releasing pressure on the nervous system and restoring brain-body communication. More powerful than studies, though, for me, is sitting with a mother who’s crying tears of joy because their lives are literally transformed because their child can finally be the person she knows they can be! THAT is why I do what I do!
