October 19, 2023

Have you ever found yourself feeling constantly fatigued, on edge, or easily irritated? Are you struggling to decipher your child’s ever-changing moods and behaviors? If so, you’re not alone. Many families today face the daily challenge of living with nervous system dysregulation - a condition that often goes unnoticed in the world of traditional medicine. In this blog, we are here to empower parents with knowledge about nervous system dysregulation, exploring its nuances, causes, and the steps you can take to help your child or teenager thrive.

So, if you’ve tried multiple diet changes, supplements, or even medications to get your child’s energy, mood, and focus back online and still struggle, it is vital to look deeper into nervous system dysregulation. Discovering whether your child is affected by this and understanding the appropriate steps to take if so. 

The Nervous System’s Remarkable Role

The nervous system is an extraordinary network within our bodies, serving as a dynamic communication superhighway. The nervous system is orchestrating movement, perception, and cognitive processes. It also plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being. 

Nervous system dysregulation occurs when this critical system becomes overwhelmed and overstressed. This results in a state of imbalance, disorganization, and dysfunction. It’s like the body’s internal alarm system, signaling that something isn’t quite right.

Recognizing the Telltale Signs and Symptoms

The manifestations of nervous system dysregulation vary depending on your child’s age. In infants, it might manifest as difficulty sleeping, soothing, nursing, or digestive issues such as colic or reflux. As your child grows, it can lead to frequent tantrums, sensory processing challenges, focus and concentration difficulties, mood swings, and behavioral issues. For teenagers and adults, symptoms may encompass brain fog, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, digestive problems, and more. 

Understanding that dysregulation represents a disruption of normal function, separate from full-fledged diseases, is crucial. However, untreated dysregulation can escalate into more severe conditions. 

Unveiling the Root Cause of Nervous System Dysregulation

Nervous system dysregulation can stem from various factors, including birth trauma, physical injuries like concussions, infections, chronic stress, exposure to toxins, and more. These triggers can set the stage for an imbalanced nervous system for your child. 

Unfortunately, medical professionals often dismiss the early signs of nervous system dysregulation. These subtle indicators are frequently overlooked, allowing the condition to progress unchecked.

Early detection is key to achieving optimal outcomes.

Through Neurological INSiGHT Scans, it’s possible to determine whether your child has nervous system dysregulation and gauge its severity. Early intervention with drug-free care options, such as Neuro-Tonal Chiropractic adjustments, can effectively address nervous system dysregulation, subluxation, and dysautonomia

If you’re ready to take charge of your child’s health and improve sleep, digestion, immune function, mood, and energy levels, we encourage you to take the first step and schedule INSiGHT Scans at Pinnacle Chiropractic.  We want to help you restore your child’s health and quality of life. If you are not local to us, please check out the PX Docs directory to find a Neurologically-Focused Chiropractor near you.

If you’ve found this information valuable, we urge you to share it with friends and family. Together, we can empower more parents to take control of their children’s and their own health and well-being. This will ensure a brighter and more balanced future for our families.

Patient Stories: Discover Reviews by Satisfied Chiropractic Patients

Hear what our patients have to say about their experience at Pinnacle.

My 8 yr old daughter with Sensory Processing Issues has had transformative results.
She may still not like everything, but she is calmly declining instead of melting down. She had also become adverse to hugs and touch. Now she is wanting to be held again. Initially, she was aprehensive about her "massage" as I referred to her appointments. However, the staff is amazing. Your child is loved and welcomed by everyone. I couldn't be more pleased.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about these people and this practice...highly recommend 👌
We've had the best experience with Pinnacle Chiropractic for my 4 month old son. Dr Jordan and Dr Kirsten are the BEST! Everyone in the office is so friendly and welcoming and it's just such a great atmosphere overall! The progress we've seen in my son's overall happiness and comfortability (even after just a few adjustments) is unbelievable! I cannot say enough wonderful things about these people and this practice... highly recommend 👌
