Episode 19: Calming the Chaos: Chiropractic Care for Kids’ Nervous Systems
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I'm chatting with Erin from Brain and Body Health, based in Gladesville, Sydney. Erin shares how looking beyond surface behaviours to understand what a child’s body is communicating can strengthen a child's brain and nervous system, with the goal of regulation rather than “fixing” a child. This is an interesting and reassuring conversation for parents who feel like their child is constantly stuck in fight or flight.
In this episode, we explore:
- How Erin became a chiropractor for kids
- Finding the root cause with the ‘5 whys’
- A child’s primitive reflexes
- What retained primitive reflexes may look like
- Why they can be retained rather than integrated
- How a session with Erin looks
- Testing to find retained primitive reflexes
