Colic can leave parents feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering what they’re missing. 💛

But excessive crying is often communication — not “just a phase.”

From a nervous system perspective, babies may be experiencing stress, tension, and difficulty regulating their little bodies after birth. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, it can impact digestion, sleep, comfort, and the ability to settle.

Our goal is to help parents better understand what their baby may be trying to communicate and support the body gently and naturally along the way.

You are not failing. Parenting through colic is hard, and support matters for both baby and parents.

If you’ve been searching for answers, we’d love to support your family.

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) = your autonomic nervous system malfunctioning and is controlled by your brainstem and upper cervical spine. 💚

You stand up, heart races, dizziness hits, you might pass out. Your heart rate jumps 30+ beats just from standing.
This isn't anxiety, but autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

What you're living with: Dizziness when upright, rapid heartbeat, extreme fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, nausea, temperature dysregulation, feeling like your body is constantly betraying you.

Did you know that your autonomic nervous system is controlled by your brainstem and upper cervical spine (C1-C2)?

When upper neck has tension or imbalance, it affects brainstem function, vagus nerve communication, blood flow to brain, autonomic regulation.

How upper cervical chiropractic helps POTS:
Upper cervical adjustments support brainstem function and vagus nerve. Improved blood flow to brain reduces dizziness/brain fog, nervous system regulation improves over time, and reduced spinal stress = less burden on already-struggling autonomic system.

Research shows: Some POTS patients experience reduced dizzy spells, improved exercise tolerance, better cognitive function, decreased heart rate fluctuations, improved quality of life with upper cervical care.

When we support that foundation, some patients find their body can regulate better.
You deserve support that addresses the nervous system foundation - not just symptom management. 💚

05/30/2026

Your menstrual cycle isn't just affecting your mood - it's directly regulating your nervous system.

MENSTRUAL PHASE (Days 1-7):
Estrogen & progesterone lowest. NS impact: More introverted, lower stress tolerance, pain sensitivity increases, fatigue, emotional vulnerability.
What NS needs: Extra sleep, gentle movement, adjustments support sensitive NS, say no to extra demands, nourishing foods. This isn't weakness - it's biology.

FOLLICULAR PHASE (Days 8-13):
Estrogen rising. NS impact: More energy and motivation, better mood, higher stress resilience, improved focus, social and outgoing.
What NS needs: Capitalize on energy (schedule workouts, big projects, social events), this is your power phase - lean into it.

OVULATION (Days 14-16):
Estrogen peaks, LH surge. NS impact: Peak physical/mental energy, highest confidence, most social, best communication, peak stress resilience.
What NS needs: Schedule important conversations, presentations, push harder in workouts, make big decisions. You're unstoppable - evolutionarily designed this way.

LUTEAL PHASE (Days 17-28):
Progesterone rises then CRASHES if not pregnant.
Early luteal (17-23): Progesterone has calming effects, may feel more relaxed/introverted, energy declining.
Late luteal/PMS (24-28): Progesterone crash = NS dysregulation. Irritability, anxiety (sympathetic activation), emotional sensitivity, sleep disruption, food cravings, physical symptoms (bloating, headaches).
What NS needs: Days 17-23 honor slowing energy. Days 24-28 EXTRA NS support - chiropractic adjustments, magnesium, quality sleep, stress reduction, gentle movement, avoid overcommitting.
Upper cervical adjustments during PMS week help regulate NS during hormonal crash.

How chiropractic supports hormonal NS changes:
Upper cervical spine (C1-C2) affects hypothalamus (controls hormone signaling), pituitary gland (master hormone gland), overall NS regulation.

When upper cervical balanced: Hormonal signals communicate clearly, NS can regulate better through fluctuations, PMS symptoms reduce, menstrual cramps decrease, mood stability improves.

Regular chiropractic throughout cycle = smoother hormonal transitions, less severe PMS, better regulation.

Support your nervous system throughout your cycle = hormones don't feel so overwhelming.

Summer break is coming - and the transition from structure to freedom can dysregulate your family's nervous systems. Here's how to prep for a regulated, enjoyable summer. 🌞

You'd think less structure = less stress. But for many families, summer creates MORE dysregulation:

Kids: Sudden routine loss (NS thrives on predictability), sleep chaos, more screens, boredom meltdowns, sibling conflicts

Parents: Kids home all day, disrupted work, planning stress, no break from parenting

Even "good" transitions affect nervous systems.

Prep your family's NS for summer:

1. Get everyone adjusted before summer starts and through summer

Kids carrying: Nine months sitting in chairs, heavy backpacks, poor posture, academic stress, minimal outdoor play. Get them adjusted = release accumulated stress, start summer with clean slate.

Parents carrying: School schedule stress, mental load, physical tension, sleep deprivation. Get adjusted = NS can shift into summer mode instead of staying stuck in survival.

2. Create summer rhythm (not rigid schedule)

NS needs predictable patterns: ✅ Consistent wake/sleep times (later is fine, just consistent)
✅ Meal rhythm (blood sugar stability affects NS)
✅ Daily outdoor time
✅ Screen-free times (meals, before bed)
✅ Wind-down before bed

3. Prioritize movement & nature for NS reset

After nine months of sitting and screens, summer is chance to let NS breathe through movement and nature.

Movement regulates NS: Activates parasympathetic, releases tension, improves sleep, reduces anxiety, builds resilience

Nature regulates NS: Reduces cortisol, lowers heart rate, improves mood, provides calming sensory input, supports circadian rhythm

Daily activities: Swimming, biking, running, hiking, beach days, unstructured outdoor play. Goal: 30+ minutes daily.

4. Maintain chiropractic care through summer

Common mistake: Stopping care over summer. What happens: Three months without adjustments = NS and spines shift back toward dysfunction. By September, starting over.

Summer is IDEAL for chiropractic: ✓ Active bodies need support (swimming, biking, climbing) ✓ Travel stress affects NS (car rides, flying, schedule disruption) ✓ Growth spurts happen in summer ✓ Preparing for next school year

Consistent summer care = family ENJOYS summer instead of surviving it.

Summer NS Prep Checklist:
☑️ Get everyone adjusted before school ends
☑️ Create summer rhythm (not rigid schedule)
☑️ Daily movement and nature time
☑️ Screen boundaries
☑️ Maintain chiropractic care ☑️ Plan downtime (boredom is okay)
☑️ Stay hydrated
☑️ Keep bedtime rhythm

Summer should rejuvenate your family's nervous systems - not deplete them further.

Prep now. Regulate through summer. Start fall thriving.

Your "clumsy" kid isn't careless - they might have proprioception issues. And that's a nervous system problem that's addressable.
Your child constantly: bumps into furniture, trips over nothing, falls way more than peers, drops things, struggles with coordination, gets hurt often, seems "unaware" of their body in space.

But they're TRYING. They just can't.
This is proprioception - your brain's ability to know where your body is in space without looking. Right now you know where your feet are without looking down. That's proprioception.
When proprioception is off: Brain isn't getting clear signals from body. Kid doesn't know exactly where limbs are. Can't gauge distance. Uses too much or too little force. Constantly bumping, tripping, falling.
It's not clumsiness. It's neurological.
Why it gets disrupted:
Proprioceptive signals travel through spine to brain. When spine is out of balance (very common in kids), signals get disrupted.
Common causes: Birth trauma (forceps, vacuum, C-section), learning to walk (hundreds of falls), growth spurts, poor posture from screens, sports impacts.
When upper cervical spine (C1-C2) is out of balance, it affects cerebellum and brainstem - which process proprioceptive information. Brain can't accurately process where body is in space.
How chiropractic helps:
Upper cervical adjustments improve brainstem/cerebellum communication. Full spine balance reduces interference in proprioceptive pathways. Nervous system regulation helps integrate sensory information.

Improved proprioception = better coordination, fewer falls, improved sports performance, more confidence.
Also support with: Heavy work activities (pushing, pulling, carrying, jumping, climbing), balance work, cross-body movements (crawling, swimming), barefoot time (feet have tons of proprioceptive sensors).
Foundation is nervous system. Address spine first, then build on it.
If your child:

Constantly bumps into things
Trips and falls more than peers
Struggles with coordination
Gets hurt often

Their proprioception needs support. That starts with nervous system. When spine is balanced and NS supported, proprioception improves.
