You hear us talk about the vagus nerve all the time. Maybe too much...but when you know how cool it is in its function to our body's health, it's almost impossible to stop talking about it!! 😂 We're even thinking about vagus nerve-themed birthday parties! 🧠🎉😎

Over 75% of all nerve fibers that stimulate the relaxation response travel along the vagus nerve. This makes the vagus nerve indispensable for activating the body’s self-healing and recovery processes, a key to immune function and regulation.
Understanding the connections—between the immune system, nervous system, and external factors—is the first step in building your child's stronger, more resilient immune system. 💪 If your child is struggling with health challenges, learn more about the role the vagus nerve plays in those challenges and most importantly, what to do about it in the article 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 at the link below.

Between immune challenges and anxiety, Avleen wasn’t able to be her ‘bubbly’ and happy self as much as her beautiful momma knew she was capable of. 😩
As mom described it: “Avleen was having frequent ear infections since starting preschool about 5 months before finding PWC. She was also getting frequent respiratory infections. It seemed like every minor cold was turning into ear infections or bronchitis…”

“.. I also felt she was having some issues with anxiety. She was very emotional and would have a lot of separation anxiety. She was very shy around new people and had a hard time in school when she didn’t understand something right away. She would just kind of shut down.” 😔

Mom said, “It felt like an uphill battle. I questioned if I was parenting her correctly because nothing seemed to be working. Traditional medical care would fix things for a little bit but it would always go back to being a problem.” ❌

But as they started Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, Avleen's life started to take a turn for the better! 🎉

Mom said that within a month Avleen was much more relaxed and calm. Teachers were saying she was more open in class. And now, she even got an award at her preschool graduation for being the “most bubbly”. She was back to being herself! 🙌🏻❤️

She’s also kicking the sick easier and her body is able to drain better. She is more well rested and they don’t have to live in fear of her sickness escalating every time. Mom says, “ I feel like I have invested in her future. She is being her “best self” she can be at this moment and that feels really good as a mother!” 😊

You have brought us so much sunshine ☀️ that has helped us grow during every season of PWC. We hope you feel so very loved today because WE LOVE YOU!! Thanks for being such a big piece of our happy place. We've cherished these 10 years with you and look forward to many, many, many more!! ✨

Jack is finally kicking the constant cycle of sickness! 👏🏼 Here’s what Mom has to say! 👇🏼

“Starting at 18 months, Jack would have breathing issues when he got sick. He has been to the ER a few times to receive breathing treatments, steroids, and oxygen along with being prescribed an inhaler. It seemed like he would get sick often and it would last longer than normal. A common cold would linger and then escalate to needing his inhaler. 😣

As a mom, I always worried when I would notice him get the sniffles for fear of it turning into a respiratory illness. And if it was a respiratory illness, I felt like I was always on high alert with his coughing and breathing, deciding if we needed to take a trip to urgent care. It was exhausting. I had so much mom guilt with giving him his inhaler so many times. I felt stuck with no options on how to help him.

We would use his inhaler multiple times a day to keep his coughing controlled and his breathing normal. He would have the humidifier going all the time and we gave him fever-reducing medicine that helped with inflammation and it felt like these things were barely keeping the symptoms at bay.

When we started going to PWC, I knew we would receive care that would help heal Jack from the inside out and have lasting results, not just band-aids for deep issues.
We started Jack right around the beginning of RSV/Flu season and I knew the kids would be bringing home germs. I wanted to start working on his immune system for when he would get sick. When he did get sick, we didn't have to use his inhaler! He didn't suffer any breathing issues, his cough was hardly there, and he was over it pretty quickly.

So much has changed in the short amount of time Jack has started care. I have confidence in his body to get through illnesses quicker and without needing his inhaler. I have peace of mind and don't worry when I know he might be getting sick.” ❤️

Is your child's nervous system stuck in "fight or flight" mode? 😰 It's more common than you think! A shocking 1 in 6 kids now experience sensory processing issues, often linked to an imbalanced nervous system. 🧠

Think of your child's nervous system like a delicate seesaw:
⚖️ One side is the "fight or flight" response - great for emergencies, but exhausting if always on!
⚖️ The other is "rest and digest" - essential for sleep, focus, and emotional balance.
When these are out of sync, it can lead to:
👉 Sleep troubles
👉 Emotional outbursts
👉 Sensory sensitivities
👉 Digestive issues
👉 Learning difficulties
But here's the good news: As the nervous system regulates, many parents report improvements in their children's sleep, behavior, focus, and overall well-being - all without the use of medications. 🙌
Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care offers a natural, drug-free approach to helping your child's nervous system find its balance. Ready to help your child have smoother sailing through life's challenges!? Head to our link below to learn more about 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 💙

The best days are days that our Goldie girl visits PWC! ☀️

One of the most popular questions that parents ask us about the nervous system is "How do we know when it starts to regulate?" 🤷‍♀️ At PWC, we tell parents to look for what we call "soft signs." Is your child eating, sleeping, and pooping better? Are you starting to notice subtle changes that will start to compound into BIG wins?! Some signs also include what we call a "neurodetox" where the body has to go through old habits to process and heal. The # 1 thing we are looking for is CHANGE!
Anything new or different! Let us know what you're noticing at your child's next visit! We love to celebrate all wins, big or small! ♥️

From explosive emotions and intense anger 😡 to self-regulating and staying calm! 😌

Hear what this amazing momma has to say about her daughter Megan's transformation!

“My daughter suffers from daily seizures. After 29 years of constant seizures, she began having mental health comorbidities. She would quickly get angry, strike out at us and she, herself, would call 911. This became a critical issue as she is her own guardian and could face legal ramifications.

As a family, we were very frustrated. Living our own private terror in our home. No one could understand. She has neurologists and psychiatrists, but no one could help. I filled out a profile on her at the police station out of fear that they would overreact to her outbursts. I prayed this would not happen to her. I just wanted to keep her safe.

She was receiving care from Board Certified Epilepsy Neurologists at both Summa Health in Ohio, and Mayo Clinic in Rochester, along with a renowned Psychiatrist from Amen Clinic. Together they tried to address her anger, anxiety, and depression, but they were not successful. I personally did not believe there were any treatments available to calm her mind and body.

Since starting at PWC last July, she has not had a single anger issue. When she gets upset, she can now calm herself down. This is a remarkable improvement for her quality of life.

We first knew it was working when we went a full week without her calling 911. Seriously, that is how often they were at our house. It was embarrassing, we stayed secluded in our home.

Though Megan still suffers from seizures, we do not have to live with the constant fear of her calling 911. She can calm herself down and make good, safe decisions.” ❤️

Way to go Megan!!!! 🎉💪🏻✨

Henry is overcoming sensory processing challenges, impulse control, and aggression like a champ! Read Mom’s story below! 👇

“Henry is a sensory seeker and craves deep pressure and can be unaware of his body in space. He would previously run full speed into the couch, wall, person, etc to get this input. He struggles with force modulation, like giving you a high five that will knock you down. He has tactile sensory sensitivities to clothing and has big reactions to being wet or dirty. He craves oral input and will chew through clothing, toys, and other non-food items.

Henry was previously under chiropractic care but not with a Neurologically-Based provider and with less frequency. He also did 4 months of OT which helped Henry with identifying emotions and some of the behavioral issues but it did not address the root cause of his dysregulation.”

After about a month under Neurologically-Focused Care, they noticed a big change in Henry they hadn’t seen before. 🎉

Mom said, “I could see how the frequent, focused adjustments were helping him tremendously. With three kids, sometimes appointments can feel like an inconvenience but after we started to notice how much it was helping Henry, we looked forward to his appointment each week knowing how important his regulation is to our family.

We have noticed Henry being more regulated. His sensory-seeking behaviors have become less intense and more infrequent. We can focus on a more active approach to providing him with the sensory input he craves (swinging, deep pressure from a weighted blanket, etc) because he is not in a constant state of dysregulation. We are thrilled with his progress and look forward to his continued success!”
Way to go Henry! 🙌🏻

As parents, we know the early years are crucial for our children’s brain and nervous system development. But what if your child’s development seems off track, or you notice unusual behaviors that don’t resolve on their own? 🤔

Often, traditional medical assessments miss the critical role of neurological function in a child’s development. 📈 Concerns about colic, sleep challenges, meltdowns, or missed milestones are frequently brushed off, leaving parents feeling dismissed and without answers.

At PWC, we use a revolutionary tool called INSiGHT EMG, providing a detailed window into your child’s neurological health. These scans detect patterns 📊 of tension, energy imbalances, and miscommunications that might be holding your child back from thriving.

The nervous system is like a superhighway of information, transmitting messages between the brain and body. When this communication system has glitches, it can lead to:
🚫 Delayed milestones
🚫 Sensory sensitivities
🚫 Emotional dysregulation
🚫 Focus and attention difficulties
🚫 Poor coordination and balance
🚫 Sleep disturbances

How can scheduling your child for an INSiGHT EMG scan help? By pinpointing neurological miscommunications, these scans provide a roadmap for targeted interventions, optimizing your child’s nervous system function and unlocking their true potential.

Don’t let your concerns be dismissed. Give your child the best start on their developmental journey by learning more at the article in our link below- 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐢𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐄𝐌𝐆 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝’𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥! ✨🧠

As parents, we are always searching for answers! And with most struggles that our kids face, the nervous system is in charge of it all! 🧠

After a long battle with Gross Motor Delays, watching Taegan walk for the first time just 3 days after starting Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care was enough to make Mom cry some serious happy tears!!! 👏🤯🎉

From early on, Taegan had always been delayed in her Gross Motor and Developmental Milestones. She was late to roll over and couldn’t sit up until 10 months. She didn’t crawl until she was about 14 months old. And at almost 2 years old, standing on her own and walking was a HUGE challenge. She was so uncomfortable in free space and she could only walk with support holding her up. 😣
She also struggled mightily with constipation 💩 and immune challenges. With her neuro-immune system being so out of whack, she started to have occasional febrile seizures which worried Mom and Dad like none other as well.

For a long time, they did PT for Taegan, but Mom said the progress seemed to be very slow. This was because Taegan had even deeper levels of neurological stress, 🧠 disorganization, and dysfunction to address first. All of this showed up very clearly on her EMG INSiGHT scans.

After just a week into care, mom was able to slap a checkmark ✅ next to their BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOAL. Too cute Taegan took OFF with her walking!! 💨
Not only was she standing on her own, taking steps without support, but she started taking full laps around the office… smiling and clapping all along the way! You go, girl! 🎊

Mom said “Her confidence is through the roof! She’s walking, standing in free space, and standing up from the floor. Absolutely incredible!”
And it only gets better – she was now sleeping 💤 through the night, pooping 💩 with ease, and her speech 🗣️ started to explode as well! All of her Developmental Milestones were back on track!

We could not be more excited for Taegan and her terrific family. 💙 In the best way possible, it’s going to be hard to keep up with this girl because lookout, she is on the move! 🤩
