What many parents don't realize is that developmental delays aren't random or simply "bad genetics." Instead, they often result from what we call "The Perfect Storm" - a combination of three key factors that impact early development:

It's a common experience for many parents, especially when their child hits a growth spurt. The impact goes beyond physical discomfort, affecting mood, energy, emotions, and behavior. You're not alone – nearly half of all school-aged children face growing pains. While considered a "normal" part of childhood, these pains can significantly impact daily life. Pediatricians may dismiss them, attributing them to the natural course of growth. But what if there's more to it? What if growing pains have neurological roots that Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can address without the use of drugs?

PTs and pediatricians are simply not trained to look for this missing link, but it's present in 80-90% of cases. If it is not found, it cannot be fixed. If it's not identified and addressed, it can lead to weak core muscles and limbs, as well as low-tone challenges. We'll also explore the cause of low tone and break that down in this blog.

If you have been up all night with your child who is experiencing colic, chronic constipation, reflux, or ear infection after ear infection, it's essential to know that these issues will not simply go away on their own. If your child is struggling with tons of tantrums, meltdowns, developmental delays, and difficulty sleeping, don't let anyone tell you that it's just a phase.

At Wellnest Chiropractic, it’s not uncommon to see behavior and sleep issues linked or sensory and digestion challenges correlated. Therefore, before we move forward, we need to take a step back and look at neurodevelopment.
