Before Care
Westley’s nervous system was carrying more than his young body could handle.
“He had taken a fall and started complaining about back pain,” his mom Tessa shared. “But it wasn’t just that. He had a hard time focusing, and emotionally, he was always on edge.”
“His cup was already three-quarters full all the time. The tiniest thing would push him over.”
At school, it showed up in subtle but constant ways:
Zoning out
Forgetting instructions
Emotional overwhelm
Difficulty with transitions
“He was never disruptive,” Tessa said, “but he couldn’t focus. And he couldn’t bounce back when something threw him off.”

When Nothing Helped
Tessa and her family had tried everything:
Allergy testing and shots
Food eliminations
Emotional coaching
School interventions
“We were tackling it from every angle — food, emotions, environment. But nothing really changed.”
They originally brought Westley into Ideal Family Chiropractic for back pain. What they didn’t expect was to find a missing piece of the puzzle.
“Dr. Tyler explained how nervous system stress could affect not just his back — but also his emotions, focus, even his immune system. It just made sense.”
The Turning Point
When they saw Westley’s INSiGHT scans for the first time, Tessa felt it:
“It was validating. Like—finally. We weren’t crazy. Everything we’d been noticing showed up clearly in the scans.”
They began neurologically-focused chiropractic care — and the shift came gently but clearly.
“It wasn’t instant, but we started noticing things… He’d get ready in the morning before anyone else. He’d do the dishes without being asked. He stopped asking, ‘Did you already tell me that?’ because he was finally remembering things.”
And Westley noticed too:
“He told me his back didn’t hurt anymore. And one Sunday, he was just sitting in the middle of the floor, completely calm — we looked at each other like, Is this really happening?”
Life Now
Today, Westley is thriving — and so is his family.
“We used to think about it all the time. How to support him. What he needed next. Now… we don’t. It’s becoming second nature for him. And that’s what we always hoped for.”
Even his teacher noticed the change:
“I checked in with her recently, and she said the same thing we were seeing — better emotional regulation, better focus. He’s just doing great.”
A Word to Other Parents
“We came in because of back pain, but what we found was so much bigger. Chiropractic care helped us connect all the dots.”
“If your child is struggling — not sleeping, not focusing, not bouncing back — get the scan. This might be the missing link.”
✨ If your child is carrying more than their body can handle, don’t wait.
