➡️The #1 most common finding we see as the primary cause of constipation in our patients is an interference in gut motility (peristalsis) causing the digestion process to slow down or stop altogether.
In chiropractic, that interference and dysfunction is called subluxation.

➡️The next primary cause of chronic constipation is nutritional imbalances or food intolerances. Difficult-to-digest foods like dairy, grains, gluten, and red meat often get blamed for causing constipation, along with a lack of probiotics, magnesium, fiber, and water.

But for the vast majority of patients we see
at Vera, there is often more going on 💩
For most patients, getting relief starts with cleaning up the function of the nervous system FIRST and then, if problems persist, cleaning up their diet and nutrition.

➡️If you’ve already tried gluten-free + dairy-free, probiotics and prunes, essential oils, Miralax,
and more, then subluxation + stress on their nervous system could be the missing link you’ve
been searching for all along 💩

This busy mama of 3 came to us originally with goals surrounding digestion improvement and reducing allergy symptoms.

In addition to improving those, she’s also experienced improvements in handling life’s everyday stressors 🙌🏼

We have loved supporting her on her wellness journey and getting to see all of the amazing changes she’s experiencing since starting care with us and can’t wait to see what’s to come! ❤️

Life while parenting can be hard 😳

Between dealing with co-workers, to a dirty house, and even those people on their phones while cutting you off in traffic 😡 life can be stressful and overwhelming!
It’s inevitable that life will be full of all kinds of stress. Some stress is actually good, but the bad stress can lead to so much harm in our minds and bodies 😣
You can’t change the stressors that are in your life very easily, but you CAN change how your nervous system processes and reacts to that stress 💪🏼

If your nervous system isn’t in optimal health, your ability to adapt to the stresses you face in every day life is limited! 😬

It’s like having a battery that has a very low charge 🔋. Having low adaptive energy really allows stress to run the show!

✨One of the BEST things you can do to help your body and your mind handle stress better is to take care of your nervous system health!✨

Nervous system health = total health! 🙌🏼

Your nervous system is literally your built in best friend! 🫶🏼 It’s there to keep you alive, to help your body function and heal in incredible ways, and to help you handle stress like a boss 😎

If your nervous system isn’t in tip top shape, it makes it so much harder for your body to handle that extra stress life throws at you each day 🥵

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed and like you’re drowning in stress, it’s time to start taking care of your nervous system so that your body can more easily take care of you 🤝🏼 and at Vera we’re here to help you do just that! 🌿

“I” came to us struggling with emotional outbursts and impulses.

He went from being the kiddo in class who was always in trouble, to one of the best students in class!

We are so happy and blessed to have witnessed I’s amazing results with consistent chiropractic care and can’t wait to see what’s to come for him with continued care!

💥🥳 Happy 4th to our Vera community 🥳💥

We hope you have a fun and safe holiday spent with loved ones ❤️🤍💙

We can’t wait to see you all back in the office on Monday, July 8th! 🤗

Are you a parent or caregiver of a child who has been diagnosed with ADHD? Do you have questions about what ADHD is and how it affects your child’s brain and behavior? Are you concerned not only about the challenges their ADHD presents in school, socially, behaviorally, etc 😪… but also about the potential side effects of ADHD stimulant medications? 💊

Our article “What is ADHD?” provides an in-depth overview of ADHD, its causes, and what drug-free options are out there for parents who want to save medications as a last resort.

In the article, you will learn about the signs and symptoms of ADHD, as well as the traditional medical approach to treating it.
However, we go beyond the traditional approach and explore how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care 🧠can help children with ADHD by restoring balance and optimal function to the brain and central nervous system.

At Vera, we believe that understanding the root causes of ADHD is crucial for developing effective care strategies that can help children unlock their full potential. 💪

So, whether you are a concerned parent or someone looking to expand your knowledge, this article is a must-read. Check it out today and learn more about ADHD and how we can help children overcome its challenges. 🙌

✨Attention Vera Fam!✨

A reminder that our office will be closed all of next week!

We will reopen with our normal hours on Monday, July 8th.

If you need anything while we’re out of the office, please email us at [email protected]

We hope you have a wonderful holiday! 💥❤️🤍💙

Have you tried PT or OT for your child’s low muscle tone and just feel like there’s something deeper going on?! 😣
Are both you and your therapist working hard to break through a stuck point or plateau? Or do you just want to make sure you’re doing all you can to address your child’s hypotonia and developmental delays?

If that sounds like you, then this wildly informative post over low muscle tone is made just for you. 🤝 Swipe through to find out the “missing link” and real root cause of a weak core, poor posture, and incoordination in kids.

We are always ready to help you and your family find the hope, answers, and help you’ve been searching for!

🤔WHY?🤔

It’s more troublesome for a child to skip a stage of development or miss a milestone altogether than it is to be slightly delayed.

For example, skipping crawling is more troublesome and problematic to their overall brain and neurological development than be a couple months “late” in talking, walking, etc.

To simplify things for parents, we break down baby milestones into 2 main phases or stages of development:
1. Foundations (Basics)
2. Finishings (Advanced)

Phase 1 is the foundation of development for your newborn baby:
-Eat (latch, swallow, digestion)
-Sleep (soothe, calm)
-P**p (mobility, absorption)
-Move (motor milestones-head and neck control, sit up and roll over, crawl, walk, run, jump)

Phase 2 is considered the “finishings” and is the phase where the more advanced and complex brain and neurological functions come into play:
-Speech and communication
-Socialization and play
-Behavioral and emotional regulation
-Cognition and learning

Put simply, a child must heal in the same order that optimal development takes place - starting with the basics like sleep and digestion first.

While milestones serve as valuable markers to track a child’s growth and identify potential concerns early on, the truth is, no two babies are exactly alike, and they may not reach milestones at precisely the same time or pace as others.

Focusing on the nervous system is our number one priority at Vera and we will work together to keep your baby’s milestones progressing!👶
