As a parent, you know when something isn't quite right with your child. Maybe your little one has a persistent cough that just won't go away, or they seem fussy and uncomfortable after eating. You've taken them to the pediatrician, but you're told it's just a phase or they will grow out of it. . But what if there's more to the story?
Silent reflux, also known as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), is a condition that is often applied to a wide variety of symptoms, such as colic, constipation, breathing struggles or even general uncomfortability. But symptoms don’t tell the whole story…they don’t look to the root cause of what is causing the symptoms of a silent reflux diagnosis.
This video is specifically made for parents who suspect their child may be suffering from silent reflux and are looking for answers and alternative treatment options.
In this video, we'll explore the causes, symptoms, and unique neurologically-focused treatment options for silent reflux in children offered by Innate Family Chiropractic.
Silent reflux occurs when acid and other fluids from the stomach flow back into the throat and voice box, causing irritation and inflammation.
Unlike GERD, silent reflux often doesn't present with obvious symptoms like heartburn or vomiting, making it difficult to diagnose, especially in babies.
Common signs of silent reflux in children include hoarseness, chronic cough, difficulty swallowing, recurrent ear infections, and asthma-like symptoms.
Symptoms tell us part of the story - but it’s very important to look deeper at what is causing these symptoms. In the case with silent reflux it’s important to look at what systems of the body may be struggling - is it digestion, respiratory, or does it overall go deeper into the nervous system…
When we see the nervous system be the root cause it’s often due to The "Perfect Storm. The Perfect Storm is how prenatal maternal stress, birth interventions, and trauma can lead to nervous system dysregulation and contribute to silent reflux.
When birth interventions, medications or struggles happen early on in life - at the most root cause point, it takes the nervous system from a rest and relax state called the Parasympathetic nervous system into the fight or flight/protection system called the sympathetic nervous system. This dysregulation of the Nervous system, or subluxation, can affect digestive function through impaired motility, altered secretion, and inflammation. This leads to struggles with drainage or plumbing with fluids that leads to the silent reflux diagnosis.
We use specialized INSiGHT Scans to identify subluxation and nervous system dysfunction related to silent reflux. Our approach focuses on restoring balance and optimal function to the nervous system through neurologically-focused adjustments, addressing the root cause of silent reflux. Going to this root cause of the Nervous System dysfunction is the key to all the symptoms surrounding silent reflux - as that helps the nervous system do the simple and important tasks first which are sleep well, digest, move with ease and grow with nutrition.
