WHAT IS “THE PERFECT STORM?”

THE struggle

At SFC, our mission is to see kids and families thrive. Our practice is centered on generational wellness, optimizing the health of our patients through neurologically-focused chiropractic care. We see the struggle confronting so many parents today: kids are suffering from chronic illness at unprecedented rates. Parents are overwhelmed, staying up late searching for solutions that traditional medicine can’t seem to provide. Too often, the answer is more drugs, more therapies, or worse, “They’ll grow out of it.” An infant may grow out of colic, reflux, and latch issues, only to grow into ear infections, neuro-developmental delays, and sensory issues. In chiropractic, we call this, “The Perfect Storm.”

THE PERFECT STORM

The Perfect Storm is the whirlwind of symptoms many children face today, from infants to toddlers to teens. Often, presenting issues start with birth trauma, birth interventions (like c-section), or even perinatal stress (stress passed from mama to baby in the womb).

IN INFANTS, THIS CAN PRESENT AS: torticollis, plagiocephaly, low or high tone, colic, constipation, latch issues, ear infections, sleep issues, projectile vomiting, failure to thrive.

IN KIDS AND TEENS, THIS CAN PRESENT AS: ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorders, seizures, apraxia, PANDAS/PANS, POTS, anxiety, depression, behavioral meltdowns, allergies, asthma, OCD/ODD,  speech delays, motor challenges, autoimmune, digestive issues, poor immune function, dysautonomia… and much, much more.

Medicating the symptoms is not enough for these kids. Central nervous system dysfunction is the root cause, and must be addressed to achieve long-term healing.  

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

The central nervous system is the air traffic controller for the whole body, regulating every organ, system, and function. When the nervous system is compromised, stressed out, and dysregulated, it has trouble performing essential functions such as sleep, digestion, growth, and healing. That’s where chiropractic comes in.

WHAT CHIROPRACTIC CAN DO

Through gentle, precise adjustments, chiropractic care unlocks the nervous system so the body can heal. It removes subluxation from the nervous system, allowing the brain to communicate, as it was designed, with the rest of the body, so every organ can function at its highest potential. This is how we differ from traditional medicine: we focus on healing the root cause rather than treating the symptoms. At Short’s Family Chiropractic, we identify patterns of stress and tension on the nervous system with INSiGHT scanning technology. 

INSiGHT SCANS

Our INSiGHT scans are non-invasive scans that show where the “gas pedal” is stuck on, causing nervous system dysfunction. It gives objective information about the amount and location of neurological stress present in each unique case. At SFC, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all medicine. Rather, we are data-driven, approaching each patient as an individual and tailoring their treatment to their needs.
