Your Child’s Emotional Health is More Than Just Behavior!
Children experience emotional ups and downs as they grow, but when mood swings, anxiety,
or emotional outbursts become frequent and overwhelming, it’s often a sign of nervous
system dysregulation. At Vital Wellness Center, we understand that emotional balance isn’t
just about discipline or behavior—it’s deeply connected to neurological function, stress, and
environmental factors.
What Causes Emotional Dysregulation in Children?
The nervous system controls every function in the body—including emotions. When a child’s
nervous system is overwhelmed or misaligned, it struggles to regulate mood, leading to: ✅
Frequent tantrums or meltdowns ✅ Increased anxiety or hypersensitivity ✅ Difficulty
transitioning between activities ✅ Poor impulse control ✅ Sleep disturbances or restlessness
Several factors contribute to this dysregulation, including:
- Birth trauma: C-section, forceps, or a difficult delivery can create tension in the nervous system.
- Toxin exposure: Pesticides, heavy metals, artificial additives, and processed foods disrupt brain function.
- Emotional stress: Home environment, school pressures, and screen time overload impact a child’s ability to self-regulate.
- Subluxations (spinal misalignments): Nerve interference in the spine disrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to emotional instability
How Pediatric Chiropractic Restores Emotional Balance
Chiropractic care is more than just spinal adjustments—it’s about resetting the nervous
system so your child can function at their best. At Vital Wellness Center, our gentle,
neurologically focused approach helps: ✔️ Calm the fight-or-flight response so children feel
less stressed and anxious ✔️ Improve focus & emotional regulation by optimizing brain-body
communication ✔️ Enhance sleep & relaxation by reducing nervous system tension ✔️
Support healthy brain development for long-term emotional resilience.
When the nervous system is functioning properly, children experience fewer mood swings,
better focus, and a greater sense of well-being.
How to Support Your Child’s Emotional Health at Home
While chiropractic care is the foundation of nervous system health, there are additional steps
you can take at home: 🔹 Reduce screen time: Excessive digital exposure overstimulates the
nervous system, making emotional regulation more difficult. 🔹 Prioritize movement: Physical
activity helps regulate emotions by releasing calming neurotransmitters. 🔹 Encourage deep
breathing & mindfulness: Teaching kids how to breathe through emotions can greatly improve
their ability to self-soothe. 🔹 Choose whole, nutrient-dense foods: Avoid artificial additives,
processed sugars, and dyes that can disrupt mood stability.
Take Action: Give Your Child the Gift of Emotional Resilience
If your child struggles with frequent emotional outbursts, anxiety, or difficulty managing
stress, it’s time to address the root cause. Chiropractic care at Vital Wellness Center can
