Is it true or false that your neck temperature should be symmetrical on both sides? Skin temperature measurement is widely supported in scientific literature for assessing sympathetic nerve function, which is why we utilize it at Lighthouse Chiropractic. Through the Atlas Fossa Temp, a type of mini thermal scan, we gauge your nervous system’s performance during each visit. Ideally, we aim for less than a half-degree difference between both sides. These readings inform us on tailoring your adjustment to your specific needs. If there’s a significant difference, we usually focus on the neck and low back initially to promote a state of calm and healing. Once the temperature is more balanced, we can proceed with a full-spine approach. Pretty fascinating, right?

Are you absolutely exhausted and heartbroken watching your baby struggle with colic? 👶 We get it. The medical world still doesn’t have any answers on what causes it, leaving parents frustrated and seeking answers. Common advice often falls short for parents desperate for help. 😫
🔍 As Pediatric Chiropractors, we’re on a mission to help you get to the root cause of your child’s colic. No more ‘they’ll grow out of it’ – our babies deserve better and we should worry when they’re inconsolable and we don’t know why!
🌱 Colic isn’t something they just ‘grow out of.’ Instead, it can lead to other challenges like constipation, ear infections, sleep troubles, and more. It might even signal early signs of autism as often babies stuck in a storm continue to progress down a path of illness and struggles.
💡 The cause? Distress. We’ve identified two major factors that play a role: high maternal stress during pregnancy and birth interventions like forceps, induction, etc. While many focus on diet and gut health for solutions, we’ve discovered that the root lies deeper – in stress affecting the nervous system. This ‘subluxation’ can alter vital functions like eating, sleeping, and pooping, leading to colic.
Parents, we know you want answers and we’d love to connect with you to see if gentle, specific pediatric chiropractic adjustments can help ease the tension on your baby’s nervous system. 🧠 We’ve helped hundreds of babies struggling with colic and we’d love to help yours too! ♥️ Learn more about how we can help here 👉 https://pxdocs.com/article/what-is-colic/

Colic can be an incredibly distressing experience for both babies and their parents. 😣 The relentless crying, often for hours on end, can leave parents feeling helpless, exhausted, and overwhelmed. It’s heart-wrenching to witness your little one in obvious discomfort, yet despite all your best efforts, it can seem impossible to soothe their cries. 😭 The frustration builds and as parents, we may even begin to question our abilities as moms and dads. 💔
BUT, what most parents aren’t told is that colic can often have a root cause related to prenatal stress 🤰🏻 and birth interventions ⚒️ that affect the vagus nerve. This can lead to the rest, relax, and digest side of the nervous system 🧠 to be “offline.”
The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating various functions in a baby’s little body, including digestion, immune responses, and relaxation. When this nerve is stressed or interfered with during birth, it can lead to a cascade of challenges, including colic. 😭
Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic care is the answer that has emerged as a drug-free, effective solution for many infants suffering from colic. 👏 Our doctor at Lighthouse Chiropractic is trained in working with infants 👶 and can identify and address subluxations within the nervous system 🧠, leading to a very upset baby. By gently and precisely adjusting these areas, our chiropractor can often relieve the stress on the vagus nerve, helping to alleviate colic and restore a sense of peace and comfort for both baby and parents. It’s a solution that many parents have been seeking, offering hope in what can be an incredibly trying time. 🎉 Visit the link 🔗 in our bio to learn more about colic and the nervous system! ♥️

🏋️‍♂️Postural energy plays a crucial role in maintaining the alignment and stability of the body, impacting the efficiency of movement and overall well-being. Proper posture helps optimize nerve signaling, reducing stress on the nervous system and promoting better cognitive function and emotional regulation. 🧠

At LHC, we measure your progress of postural energy using our CLA INSiGHT scans. 🩺

On the first scan, you can see this patient had postural energy was only operating at 20% efficiency. A healthy nerve and muscle system operates at close to 100% percent efficiency. When a system is operating at 20%, this means that this amount of neuromuscular activity can exhaust the body’s resources, leading to fatigue, distracted behaviours and ongoing spinal problems. 🩻

After only 12 visits, on the second scan, you can see that the postural energy started to work more effectively and operate at a higher percentage. 🎉
This patient reported overall less fatigue, and better sleep. 😴

If you think that your postural energy could use improvement, come book an appointment with us today to get your scans so we can help you out. If you have any questions about our process, send us a DM! We’d love to chat with you feel free to text or call 469.312.0133 📲

In addition to regulating physical functions, strong activity in the vagus nerve significantly impacts the behavioral and emotional well-being of children.👶🏻
Studies indicate evident connections between vagus nerve dysfunction and disorders such as anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and depression, which are likely due to compromised communication within the nervous system. 🧬

Did you know most people’s legs are different lengths? Although this is nothing to cause serious concern, it can affect day to day activities like walking, running, and balance. We check leg length evenness because it’s indicative of nervous system balance. When the nervous system is balanced, the legs often balance too, leading to physical equilibrium throughout the body. Addressing any imbalances can alleviate pressure on the spine, improve posture, and enhance overall well-being. Does your chiropractor check your leg length? Share what you think in the comments!
