Before Care
From the moment Luke was born, something didn’t feel right.
“He had silent reflux. His breathing was loud and labored, and sometimes he’d just… stop. Then gasp for air. It was terrifying,” Cindy said.
She and her husband did what any parents would do — they went looking for answers.
“We saw ENTs, feeding specialists, went to appointment after appointment. They told us to thicken his formula, change the bottle, adjust his feeding position, hold him upright. But nothing worked.”
Even daily life was overwhelming.
“He would scream in the car seat for 30–40 minutes straight. And at home, he couldn’t be laid down without crying. He was just uncomfortable all the time.”
When Nothing Helped
Despite trying everything their pediatric specialists recommended, Luke was still struggling.
“The medication didn’t help. The feeding changes didn’t help. I felt like I was doing everything right, and still he wasn’t okay.”
And then a friend told her about Ideal Family Chiropractic.
“I had never even thought about chiropractic care for a baby before. But we were desperate. So we made the appointment.”
The Turning Point
At their first visit, Dr. Tyler performed an INSiGHT scan — and everything changed.
“I was shocked. Honestly, I expected worse. But just seeing where the tension was… where his body wasn’t functioning right… gave me so much relief.”
The scans revealed significant stress at C1 — right where the vagus nerve lives. This nerve controls things like:
Breathing
Digestion and reflux
Heart rate
Calming and self-soothing
“He couldn’t even turn his head to the right,” Cindy said. “His whole nervous system was just stuck. But Dr. Tyler showed us how that could actually be fixed. That gave me hope.”
What Changed
After just a few visits, the difference was undeniable.
“By the third or fourth adjustment, he was turning his head fully to the right. His breathing started getting quieter. And then one night… he slept soundly. No gasping. No noise. It was the first time I hadn’t cried myself to sleep in weeks.”
Breathing: quiet and smooth
Sleep: calm and deep
Head movement: full range restored
Reflux: dramatically reduced
Car rides: no more screaming
“Now he’ll ride in the car, maybe fuss for five minutes, and then just fall asleep. That’s a huge change. I’ll take that any day.”
“He’s just… comfortable now. He’s relaxed. And so am I.”
Life Now
Luke is thriving — and so is Cindy.
“He’s a different baby. He can finally breathe. He can rest. And I can finally breathe, too.”
Cindy even found her own fears melting away.
“I’ve always been scared of chiropractic care. But now I think… if I can trust someone with my baby, why wouldn’t I trust them with me too?”
She’s planning to start care herself.
“You guys are just so welcoming. It doesn’t feel like a doctor’s office. It feels like help. Hope. Healing.”
A Word to Other Moms
To the parent whose baby screams in the car seat, who can’t lie down flat, who gasps for air at night — Cindy gets it.
“I know what it’s like to feel helpless. To hold your baby and feel like you’re doing everything, and nothing is working. But this… this is what finally helped.”
“If your gut is telling you something’s wrong — listen. And if someone tells you to try chiropractic care, try it. It saved us.”
✨ If your baby is struggling to breathe, sleep, or settle — their nervous system may be stuck in survival mode.
