Nervous System Dysregulation: What it is and Why it Matters

Imagine your child's nervous system as their body's control center. It sends signals everywhere, telling their tummy to digest food, their heart to beat, and their brain to focus. When this system gets a little "out of whack," it's called Nervous System Dysregulation.

This isn't a specific disease, but rather an imbalance that can cause all sorts of physical, emotional, and learning challenges. Think of it like a traffic jam – messages get stuck, and things don't run smoothly.

So, what causes these "hiccups"? Here at Perfect by Design, we see a few common culprits:

  • Preconception + Prenatal Stress: Even before birth, stress can impact a baby's nervous system development.

  • Birth Trauma: Sometimes, deliveries with interventions such as C-sections, Vacuum Extraction, Forceps, etc. can cause tiny misalignments in the neck and spine, affecting nerve signals.

  • Everyday Overwhelm: Toxins, Stress, Diet, screen time, and even busy schedules can all contribute to nervous system overload.

Spotting the Signs: How Nervous System Dysregulation
Show Up within the body

Every child is unique, but Nervous System Dysregulation can show up in a few ways:

  • Physical: Tummy aches, headaches, trouble sleeping – these can all be signs of a stressed nervous system.

  • Thinking Time Troubles: Difficulty focusing, forgetting things, or learning challenges might be connected to neurological imbalances.

  • Big Emotions: Feeling anxious, easily frustrated, or having mood swings can be linked to nervous system issues too.

  • Behavior Shifts: Changes in sleep patterns, social withdrawal, or acting out can sometimes be clues to underlying neurological challenges.

Nervous System Dysregulation can be linked to many different conditions, from sensory processing struggles to anxiety, sleep issues, and even constipation.
