What To Do When You’ve Tried It All and Nothing Works
As parents, watching your child struggle with chronic health challenges can be an emotional and exhausting journey. You've tried special diets, medications, supplements, and therapies, but the breakthrough you're searching for still seems out of reach. If this resonates with you, you're not alone. Most importantly, there is hope—and a path forward.
When "Trying Everything" Still Isn't Enough
Let me share a story of a young girl named Hannah. At 11 years old, Hannah's family was desperate. Diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, she struggled daily with nausea, headaches, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Her family had explored every possible option: special diets, medications, supplements, and even chemotherapy. But despite their efforts, nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. By the time they came to us, Hannah had reached a low point and didn't feel like living anymore.
Unfortunately, this scenario is all too familiar for many families facing conditions like Autism, ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, allergies, asthma, and more. Parents feel like they've tried everything, yet their children still struggle.
The Missing Piece of the Puzzle
What if I told you that there’s a crucial piece of the healing process that many healthcare professionals—both traditional and alternative—often overlook? It’s not about finding the next miracle therapy or medication, it’s about understanding the right order of healing.
The Foundation: Your Child's Nervous System
Think of your child's health like a house. The nervous system is the foundation—the very first system to develop, and the one that controls every other function of the body:
Immune system & gut health
Emotional regulation & behavior
Motor development & sensory processing
Focus, cognition, and speech
When the foundation is compromised, no matter how many "upgrades" you make, the house (your child's health) won't function properly.
Understanding the "Perfect Storm"
Three primary factors often contribute to nervous system dysfunction in children:
Pregnancy Stress: High levels of stress during pregnancy can impact a child’s nervous system development.
Birth Interventions: C-sections, forceps, or vacuum extractions can cause physical trauma to the brainstem and vagus nerve.
Early Environmental Factors: Early exposure to toxins, antibiotics, and other stressors can create inflammation and disrupt the nervous system.
These stressors form what we call the "Perfect Storm," creating nervous system imbalances that lead to various health struggles.
Why Traditional Approaches May Fall Short
When it comes to addressing health issues in children, traditional medical approaches often focus on managing symptoms, whether through medications, special diets, or therapies. But this only treats the surface. It’s like trying to fix a roof when the foundation is cracked. That’s why many children still struggle despite trying multiple interventions.
A New Path Forward: Neurologically-Focused Care
At New Hope Chiropractic, we focus on the root cause—your child’s nervous system. Here’s how we approach healing:
Identify Subluxations: We use specialized neurological scans (INSiGHT) to identify nervous system dysfunction, pinpointing areas of stress.
Gentle Adjustments: We provide gentle, specific adjustments to address subluxations, helping restore nervous system function.
Create a Path to Healing: We work with your healthcare team to ensure other therapies and interventions work effectively.
Hannah's Breakthrough
Remember Hannah? After starting Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, her health began to transform. After just one adjustment, she started sleeping better, feeling less nauseous, and regained her appetite. Today, she's thriving and is even inspired to become a pediatric chiropractor herself, so she can help other kids who’ve faced struggles like hers.
