Anxiety in children is unfortunately more prevalent than ever

Anxiety in children is unfortunately more prevalent than ever. With higher expectations, more opportunities for activities, and the pressure from social media, being “just” a kid is HARD! We can’t take all of the stressors away, so how can we help our kiddos handle them better? 🤷
Anxiety often involves dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. 🧠 This system has two branches: the sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”). In anxious children, the sympathetic branch may be overactive, leading to increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and a sense of unease. A prolonged “fight or flight” response can result in chronic stress, impacting a child’s emotional and physical well-being. The stress response, managed by the nervous system, can lead to physical symptoms and exacerbate anxiety. 😣

At ADIO Chiropractic, we strive to help your child achieve a balanced and adaptable nervous system through neurologically-focused pediatric chiropractic adjustments! 👏
