Why Moms Deserve Chiropractic Care

Emma is an energetic and devoted mom of two, and boy, does she ever believe in the power of neurologically based chiropractic care. Her son, who has autism, and her daughter are both under care at Compassion Family Chiropractic and the improvements in them have been hard to miss. The kiddos are thriving and they love coming to Compassion!

Here’s the fun part: Emma has been enjoying her time under care, too!

“I feel like myself again,” she told us after a recent visit. “Even though sometimes it's hard with our schedules, school, and homework, we know we need this. It's a break for us! Hopefully, it will help other moms.”

That’s right, Emma! Chiropractic care should be a family affair. You know what we say, “Families who regulate together, thrive together!” And this is especially true for all the moms, who are often the ones holding everything together in the family, yet can often be quick to put their own needs on the back burner. With Mother’s Day approaching quickly on May 10, now is as good a time as any to remind moms that taking care of their own nervous system dysfunction (even supermoms can fall victim to it) is a big part of caring for everyone else, too.

Hey, Mom! Is Your Nervous System Regulated, too?

As a mom, you always want what’s best for your kiddos. That’s the reason why you’ve been putting your own issues aside to focus on making significant strides in areas your kiddos struggle with. Maybe it’s the constant meltdowns and difficulties with sleeping through the night. Perhaps it’s sensory overload, gut problems, or bedwetting. Regardless, things have been better since you started relying more on chiropractic care that gets to the root cause of many of these problems: nervous system dysfunction.

But here’s the thing we often miss: your child’s nervous system learned how to function from yours. Think of your nervous system as the template, and your child’s nervous system is constantly reading from it—picking up cues, patterns, and responses in real time. We are in the business of getting your kids’ nervous systems back on track. But if yours is constantly running on adrenaline, lots and lots of adrenaline, and sheer willpower, a constant state of tug-of-war ensues.

Even as we help your kids make strides, they routinely—and perhaps automatically—slip back into stress mode, which can lead to:

• Heightened anxiety

• Trouble maintaining focus and attention

• Increased irritability and mood swings

• Hyperactivity

• Bedwetting

• Digestive issues

• Sleep issues

• And so much more … 

Moms Getting Adjusted Creates Co-Regulation

As our friends at PX Docs define co-regulation as “the process where a calm, regulated adult’s nervous system helps a child’s nervous system find balance.” Your child’s nervous system tries to mirror yours, it’s learning and adapting from you. It’s a beautiful synchronization act that neither of you has to think much about. 

It just happens, quietly shaping how your child experiences the world—especially in moments of stress or transition. 

To say moms are superhuman would be an understatement. They literally do everything, from packing lunches and managing schedules to lifting toddlers, juggling their own work life, hauling groceries, getting kids to their chiropractic appointments, and somehow keeping the entire household running without missing a beat. But at some point, even the strongest moms need a little TLC, too.

Stress gets stored in the body, and over time, it shows up in ways you wouldn’t expect are connected to your nervous system.

We’ve had moms report improvements through Neurologically-based chiropractic care is so many things:

1. Hormonal regulation

2. Exhaustion and fatigue

3. Sleep quality

4. Emotional regulation

5. Postpartum recovery

6. Anxiety

7. Migraines

As our PX Docs friends put it so eloquently, “Calm mom = calmer child = calmer family.”
