Proprioception: The Missing Piece in Your Child's Development Puzzle

As parents, our instinct to safeguard our children's health drives us to seek answers when we sense something is amiss. It's a disconcerting feeling when uncertainty clouds our understanding. Enter proprioception—a term often overlooked by many parents. Yet, if your child grapples with motor tone and development, weak core, delayed milestones, sensory processing issues, autism spectrum disorder, or ADHD and anxiety, proprioception might hold the key to unraveling these challenges.

Delving into proprioception and its pivotal role in children's developing brains is crucial for parents. Birth interventions like C-sections, inductions, forceps, and vacuum-assisted deliveries can disrupt proprioception, adding complexity to your child's health journey.

If your child faces motor function issues, coordination difficulties, or speech delays despite common therapies like PT, OT, and speech therapy, this insight is for you. As Neurologically-Focused Chiropractors, we're here to shed light on proprioception, motor tone, and development, empowering you to navigate your child's health and development journey with confidence.

Proprioception serves as the body's silent informant, relaying information to the brain about movement, coordination, and spatial orientation. Its influence extends far beyond physical tasks, impacting brain development, emotional regulation, and overall well-being in children.

Birth trauma can disrupt proprioceptive input, causing stress on the nervous system—a condition known as dysautonomia. Subluxation, a result of birth interventions, manifests as misalignment, decreased proprioceptive input, and neurological imbalance, further complicating your child's condition.

While traditional therapies assess proprioception through movement tests, our neurological INSiGHT scans offer a deeper understanding of underlying issues. Armed with this knowledge, we tailor Neuro-Tonal Adjustments to enhance proprioceptive input, fostering improvements in your child's condition.

Joseph's journey embodies the transformative power of understanding proprioception. From battling anxiety and sensory processing issues to embracing a happier, more relaxed state with improved posture, his story inspires hope.
