In a world that is full of intimidating diagnoses, politically-driven agendas, judgy mom groups, social media, trigger warnings left and right, and the Target checkout lady saying “sleep while you can,” it’s so hard to know where to turn to for advice when you find out that you’re pregnant. With all of this, the transition to motherhood sometimes feels more like a loss than the most joyous and monumental moment of our lives. It’s okay to feel alone and lost. I mean, truthfull

Are you a new parent struggling with a colicky baby?  Does it feel like your little one is constantly crying, arching their back, and having difficulty sleeping and soothing? If so, you are not alone, and this blog is here to provide you with valuable insights and natural solutions to tackle infantile colic head-on.  This is for you, new moms and dads, who are dealing with the taxing challenges of colic. If you’ve been frustrated by the lack of answers and effective solutions

If you are a parent who is part of our community, whether on socials, the website or have physically been in our practice, you’ve undoubtedly witnessed the heartwarming sight of numerous children running through our office. However, what truly distinguishes us as a pediatric-focused chiropractic office extends far beyond the array of toys, snacks, and upbeat atmosphere we intentionally cultivate (even though we love it all!) In this blog, we want to dive in and explain to you

We understand that there’s a lot to keep track of when it comes to taking care of our little ones. From the numerous items in the diaper bag to everything they need day to day, it can be extremely overwhelming. Then there is a whole other chart that isn’t in that diaper bag we need to be aware of as parents, and it’s called the Developmental Milestones Chart. These are things that your pediatrician or family doctor will check in with you on during your well-baby checks. Often

Parents, this information may leave you a bit frustrated or upset, but I need to address a problem that’s been going on for far too long. Standard pediatricians have been telling parents that certain conditions are just a part of childhood and that their children will grow out of them. However, this is not the case. If you have been up all night with your child who is experiencing colic, chronic constipation, reflux, or ear infection after ear infection, it’s essential to kno

When it comes to ensuring the well-being of your kids and families, you may think of maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and managing stress. And those are all great goals! However, there’s a massively effective, yet simple, approach that could help change the way you understand and care for your child’s health – nervous system regulation. If you have tried various health interventions (you’re doing amazing) for your child but still struggle with issues like sleep,

#1 What exactly do you do As a Pediatric Chriopractor? We bring a very unique approach to health care not offered by any other kind of practitioner. We are not only distinctly different from traditional pediatricians and medical doctors, but we also differ from natural medicine, functional medicine, wellness doctors, and traditional movement-based therapies like PT and OT.  What makes pediatric chiropractic most unique is our 100% focus on the central and autonomic nervous sy

The Key to Optimal Health and Balance for Your Child The nervous system is a remarkable network that is pivotal in maintaining our overall health and well-being.  This complex system directs responses to both internal and external stimuli, balancing our “fight or flight” response with restorative processes. The nervous system acts as a superhighway for communication in our bodies. It transmits signals between different parts of the body, allowing for coordinated movement, sen

Meet Jordan and Teo, two fraternal twins who have shown us the profound impact that a C-section delivery can have on a child’s health. While Jordan was born vaginally, Teo’s birth required an emergent C-section, setting the stage for a journey that highlighted the long-lasting effects of C-section complications on children’s health. Jordan had a much easier time with eating, calming down, sleeping, and overall health as a baby. In contrast, Teo faced difficulties with digesti

While traditional medicine relies primarily on symptoms and looks for obvious pathology on standard exams like blood work, MRIs, and EEGs, our network of trained Pediatric Experience Doctors use an incredible piece of technology called the INSiGHT Scans that accurately assesses the health and function of the Central Nervous System.  When we get into things like technology and neurology, many of us can get overwhelmed and confused quite quickly, but that’s the beauty and prac

Are you a parent who’s been through the heart-wrenching experience of watching your child suffer from chronic ear infections? If so, you know the sleepless nights, the tears, and the feeling of helplessness that comes with it. The constant congestion, pain, and the cycle of antibiotics can leave you feeling overwhelmed and anxious. By age 3, it’s estimated that 80-90% of kids will experience at least one ear infection. But what about the 1 out of 10 kids who don’t get ear inf

Long before 2020 ever showed up, those of us taking care of kids in clinical practice knew one thing – we were already in a pandemic – what we would soon call The Perfect Storm. And while a pandemic that affects any portion of the population is one we never wish to face, this one was hitting us where it hurts the most – our kids. In just 1-2 generations (not near enough time for genetics to actually change much at all),  rates of chronic illness in kids have been rising quick

Are you a parent who’s ever felt utterly frustrated because your child’s pediatrician or traditional doctors just won’t listen? Have you asked questions about the causes of your child’s illness or challenges, only to be dismissed and told it’s all in their genetics? Or worse, have you inquired about natural health solutions only to be met with ridicule or indifference? If so, you’re not alone. At Soma Chiropractic , we understand your frustration, and we’re here to offer a di

When people think of sleep disorders, they often picture stressed-out adults, tossing and turning all night and struggling bleary-eyed through their workday. Unfortunately, grown-ups aren’t the only ones who suffer from disrupted sleep; sleep disorders in children are more common than most of us recognize.  If we dig into it, many of the sleep challenges parents have are directly correlated to their children’s inability to either fall asleep, stay asleep, or both. Not only ar

For parents, the well-being of your children is your top priority, so we are always trying to stay informed about the choices we make for their health. Today, we dive into a topic that affects countless families – the use of antibiotics in infants and young children. Antibiotics can play a pivotal role in saving lives, but as parents, we must be aware of their potential impact on our children’s health. This blog aims to empower and educate on the far-reaching effects of antib

Why are so many kids so sick today?  It’s been a long time since I remember a child presenting to our clinic with just one singular health challenge or condition. Nearly every child over age 3 has intake paperwork with check boxes next to gut and digestive issues, respiratory and immune challenges, and neurological conditions such as sensory integration disorder, ADHD, and anxiety. It’s absolutely heartbreaking seeing so many kids with multiple chronic health conditions at
