Birth trauma doesn’t always fade—it often leaves hidden stress on the nervous system that can show up as colic, reflux, immune challenges, or even ADHD and anxiety later in life. In this video, Dr. Drake breaks down how birth trauma affects kids long-term, how INSiGHT scans reveal hidden stress, and how gentle chiropractic care helps restore resilience.

Every parent knows the sound — that first sniffle, the deep cough that lingers, the sleepless nights that follow. Winter viruses like RSV, colds, and the flu can turn a cozy season into weeks of stress and worry.

If your child seems “off” but no one can quite explain why — they’re tired but can’t sleep, anxious but can’t calm down, or complain of stomach pain with no clear cause — dysautonomia may be part of the picture.

When most people hear ADHD, they think of hyperactivity, poor focus, or impulsive behavior. But beneath those behaviors, what we often see is a sensitive, overwhelmed nervous system.

When most parents hear the phrase birth trauma, they think of the “big” events—an emergency C-section, forceps, or vacuum extraction. And while those are certainly significant, the truth is that nearly every birth exerts some level of stress on a newborn’s nervous system.

When parents hear the term ADHD, they often think of restless behavior, poor focus, or emotional outbursts. It’s one of the most common childhood diagnoses, with nearly 10% of school-aged children receiving the label.

If your child melts down over loud noises, can’t stand tags in their clothing, or struggles with everyday transitions—it’s not just behavior. It’s not just “sensitivity.” It’s a sign that their nervous system may be overwhelmed.

When a child struggles with focus, behavior, sleep, digestion, or emotional regulation, most parents understandably want relief as quickly as possible. But when it comes to neurological health, there’s no “instant fix.”

You may have heard of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) from a teacher, therapist, or concerned family member—or maybe you’ve simply Googled “why does my child hate tags and loud noises?” Sensory Processing Disorder isn’t a buzzword or a trend. It’s a neurological challenge that affects how the brain receives, organizes, and responds to sensory input.

When it comes to your child’s health (or your own), symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg. Whether it’s anxiety, poor sleep, digestion issues, emotional outbursts, or developmental delays—these outward signs are often indicators of a deeper problem: nervous system dysregulation.

Progress doesn’t always look like forward motion. If your child’s development or healing has hit a plateau, this video is for you. Learn why neurological plateaus are a normal part of the healing process—and how they often come just before your child’s next breakthrough.

Teens today are stuck in a cycle of stress, sleepless nights, and total burnout—and it’s not just from too much screen time. When the nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight,” the body literally can’t access the calm, restorative state needed for rest, recovery, and emotional regulation.

If your teen is constantly exhausted, moody, struggling to fall asleep—or can’t seem to “shut off” even when they’re wiped out—you are not imagining things, and neither are they. Chronic fatigue, stress overload, and emotional burnout are becoming the norm…

If your child struggles with constipation, you’ve probably heard it all: “give them more water, more fiber, try this powder, that supplement…” But what if the real problem isn’t in the gut—it’s in the brain-gut connection? When the nervous system is under stress, especially the vagus nerve, digestion slows down or stops altogether.

Is your child always on edge, emotionally reactive, or constantly sick? It may not be “just a phase” — it might be vagus nerve dysfunction. This crucial nerve controls rest, digestion, immunity, and emotional balance.

Low muscle tone might look like a strength issue… but it’s usually a brain-body communication issue. INSiGHT Scans help us uncover nervous system dysregulation and subluxation patterns that affect your child’s posture, stamina, and motor control.

You’ve likely heard the phrase “consistency is key,” but when it comes to your child’s health—especially their neurological health—this couldn’t be more true. If you’ve ever wondered why some children thrive with chiropractic care while others don’t see the same level of change, the answer often lies in the plan.

Does your child get ear infections every summer after swimming? You’ve tried antibiotics, ear drops, maybe even tubes — but the infections keep coming back. This video explains what most parents miss

When a child’s body is in constant fight or flight mode—melting down over small changes, struggling with sleep, or constantly sick—parents often search for answers that never seem to come. What if the issue wasn’t behavioral, but neurological?

Swimming is one of the best parts of summer, but for some kids, all that fun in the water leads to a frustrating cycle of ear infections. If your child seems to catch an ear infection after every pool day—or ends up in a recurring round of antibiotics—you might be wondering what’s really going on.
