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.

Pinnacle's office was open and welcoming—both the environment and the staff. The intake and evaluation process was simple and very well explained.
Our Pinnacle journey started over 3 years ago with our daughter and we've never been more at peace with our decision to get her evaluated at Pinnacle. We brought our 6 week old into the office for an array of struggles/issues after being told to "wait it out" by her doctor. Pinnacle's office was open and welcoming—both the environment and the staff. The intake and evaluation process was simple and very well explained. Pinnacle was able to pinpoint exactly what our daughter needed and develop a care plan to help her reach the wellness goals we set for her as a team. Once she achieved those goals, they continued to give us professional recommendations paired with regular adjustments to support her throughout her growth and development. Now, our entire family is adjusted consistently, including our newest addition since birth. It was the best decision we've ever made for both of our children, and now ourselves.
Finally, we decided to try a chiropractor. After a couple treatments she is a completely different baby!
Highly recommend!! Our 8 week old was dealing with reflux and digestive issues and she had episodes of screaming and crying every evening and we would battle for hours to try and get her down for the night. Everyone including her pediatrician just said she will grow out of it, but finally we decided to try a chiropractor. After a couple treatments she is a completely different baby! She is so happy and no more screaming and crying episodes 🙌🏻 Also the staff is absolutely incredible!! They are amazing at explaining everything to you and happy to answer any questions you might have.
