The Missing Piece in Your Child's Back-to-School Success Plan

With the upcoming school year fast approaching, we would like to take the opportunity to discuss The Perfect Storm—a powerful analogy for how a cascade of stress can accumulate over time, especially in children, leading to chronic nervous system dysfunction.

From the very beginning, stress begins to shape our nervous system, and stress is sticky. A difficult pregnancy, a tough birth, or interventions early in life can act as a fast catalyst for colicky babies, constantly sick kids, sensory children, exhausted and anxious teens, all the way to burnt-out or stressed-out adults.

Then, everyday challenges may occur – food sensitivities, emotional stress, physical trauma, to name just a few. Each of these may seem small, but when they accumulate early and often, they can snowball into something much larger. This eventually leads to disruptions in the body’s ability to adapt to these everyday stressors and self-regulate.

This is where neurologically based chiropractic comes in! 

At TOV Chiropractic, we use state-of-the-art technology to assess how a child’s nervous system is functioning, not just whether they’re in pain. Unfortunately, many of the children we encounter deal with symptoms like sensory issues, anxiety, digestive problems, or frequent illnesses. These are all signs that their nervous system may be stuck in “fight or flight” mode.

One big thing we want to provide is hope. The storm doesn’t have to last forever! By gently and specifically adjusting the spine using the Integrator and Torque Release Technique, we help restore balance and the connection between the brain and the body, helping people break free from the “fight or flight” pattern that so many of us are caught in. This way, your kids can grow, heal, and thrive the way they are meant to.
