Is Your Child's Constipation
More Than Just a Diet Issue?

Are you tired of watching your child suffer from chronic constipation? You're certainly not alone as constipated affects one in four children- even more so in children with conditions like Autism (70%), Anxiety (40%) and ADHD (30%). You've probably tried everything – from dietary changes to medications like Miralax. But despite your best efforts, the problem persists. Why? Because we're often missing a crucial piece to the puzzle.

The Hidden Root Cause

The truth is, constipation in children often stems from more than just diet or genetics. It's often a symptom of an underlying nervous system imbalance. Conditions like autism, ADHD, and anxiety can disrupt the delicate balance of the nervous system, leading to digestive issues. When the body is stuck in "fight or flight" mode, it's only goal is to SURVIVE and only prioritizes certain functions, while all the others become slowed down- including digestive motility.

But all of these things share a common thread: An Imbalanced Nervous System.

Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care offers a gentle, drug-free solution to address this root cause. By targeting the nervous system, this approach can:
