UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S REALLY BEHIND OUR KIDS STRUGGLES
Parents, if you’ve been searching for answers about your child’s health challenges, ADHD, Autism, sensory issues, sleep struggles, chronic illness, emotional dysregulation, you’re not alone.
Today, over 40% of school-aged kids have a chronic health condition. 1 in 5 children have special healthcare needs. These numbers are rising faster than ever before.
But here’s the truth: it’s not just genetics, bad luck, or “better diagnosing.”
Our kids are facing something bigger — something we call The Perfect Storm.

What Is “The Perfect Storm? The Perfect Storm isn’t just one thing. It’s a combination of stressors that stack up on your child’s nervous system. It often starts before birth and continues through the most critical stages of development. Common contributors include: - Fertility challenges & prenatal stress - Birth trauma or interventions (C-sections, forceps, vacuum deliveries, NICU stays) - Early exposure to antibiotics or medications - Toxins & environmental stressors - Gut & immune system disruption Each of these layers builds until the nervous system becomes overwhelmed, overworked, and dysregulated. |
The Nervous System Connection Your child’s nervous system is their body’s master control system. When it’s calm and connected, your child can grow, adapt, and thrive. But when it’s stuck in fight-or-flight mode (sympathetic dominance), it leads to: - Sleep issues (trouble falling or staying asleep) - Digestive issues (constipation, reflux, food sensitivities) - Sensory overload and meltdowns - Missed milestones and delayed speech - Anxiety, hyperactivity, poor focus These are not random symptoms. They are warning signs that your child’s nervous system needs help. |

See the Storm in Action
This is where technology helps us uncover what’s really going on. At Richman Family Chiropractic, we use state-of-the-art INSiGHT scans to measure your child’s nervous system function, showing us exactly where it’s stressed and dysregulated. We use three different ways to measure the nervous system: - Heart Rate Variability: measures the adaptability of the nervous system - Thermography: measures the dysfunction of the nervous system - Surface Electromyography: measures tension on the nervous system |
Parents often say, “Finally, this makes sense.” |
We’ve seen children go from constant meltdowns to calm, from sleepless nights to restful sleep, from speech delays to talking again. Check out some of these stories here!
