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.

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.

It’s no secret that today’s teens are navigating an entirely different world than we did. Screens are everywhere — in their pockets, classrooms, bedrooms — and they’re rarely “off.” As a parent, it’s easy to feel like the only solution is to take the phone away.

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.

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.

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?

If your child struggles with low muscle tone, you are not alone—and there is hope! In this guide, we’ll explore what low tone is, what causes it, how it can affect your child’s development and daily life, and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can help support your child’s strength, coordination, and confidence.

Sensory challenges aren’t just behavioral — they’re neurological. When your child melts down in noisy places or refuses to wear certain clothes, it’s often a sign that their nervous system is overwhelmed. And that goes much deeper than surface symptoms. Birth stress and early subluxation can disrupt the vagus nerve and sensory integration pathways.

Parents — if you’ve felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or like you’re running in circles searching for answers to your child’s health challenges… this video is for you. Dr. Drake breaks down the true root cause behind so many of today’s chronic childhood issues—like digestive struggles, sleep problems, anxiety, sensory overload, and more

You’ve tried it all—specialists, medications, diet changes—yet the struggles remain. If your child is still dealing with sleep issues, big emotions, digestive problems, or anxiety… it’s time to look where few others do: the nervous system.

Watching our kids struggle with chronic health challenges like digestive issues, inflammation, learning difficulties, or anxiety can be incredibly frustrating.

Have you been tirelessly searching for answers to your child’s anxiety, developmental delays, immune struggles, or sensory challenges? Maybe you’ve tried diets, supplements, therapies… but still haven’t seen real, lasting change. Have you ever looked deeper into their nervous system?

Many young children face daily challenges like uncomfortable clothes, crowded places, loud noises, haircuts, or sudden transitions. 😣 These seemingly small sensitivities can build up into major emotional struggles over time. If your child shows signs of Sensory Processing Disorder, you know exactly how overwhelming it can be.

Is your child easily overwhelmed by certain sounds, textures, or other sensory input? 😣 Do they avoid or crave intense sensory experiences? You’re not alone—sensory processing struggles are more common than you might think!

If your child has been diagnosed with autism, one of the first questions you probably asked was, “Why?” And chances are, the first answer given was “genetics.” But what if that’s only part of the story? New research shows that environmental factors and neurological stress may play just as big—if not bigger—a role in the rising rates of autism.

For over 15 years, I’ve heard countless stories from parents who were understandably concerned about their child’s colic, constant crying, chronic ear infections, digestive issues, developmental delays, or sensory meltdowns—only to be told to “wait and see.” Later, those same parents discover what their instincts were telling them all along: these early symptoms are actually signs of deeper neurological stress that kids don’t simply grow out of.

Noticing something just a little off in your baby’s development? As first-time parents, it can be tough to know what’s typical in those early months. But things like missing eye contact, not reacting to sounds, or delays in movement might be early signs of autism.

Is your child constantly battling one challenge after another — from colic and ear infections to asthma, allergies, ADHD, and mood swings? It can feel like the struggle never stops. If you’re here, it means you’re searching for real answers — and you’re in the right place.

If your child suddenly develops severe anxiety, repetitive behaviors, or tics, PANDAS or PANS could be the underlying cause—a complex and often misunderstood neuro-immune disorder.
