Before Care
When Jonathan first came to Ideal Family Chiropractic, life felt like a constant uphill battle.
He struggled with chronic constipation from the time he was a baby, which spiraled into potty training delays and daily discomfort. His balance was off, emotional meltdowns were frequent, and his body seemed to constantly be in sensory overload.
“Honestly, we came in because of the constipation,” his mom said. “But I’d been researching the nervous system connection in kids with autism, and I hoped maybe it could help with the behaviors too.”
Jonathan’s days were hard. So were his parents’.
“It was just always a fight — to go potty, to go up stairs, to process transitions. He was constantly tripping and clumsy, and emotionally it felt like he couldn’t regulate anything.”
When Nothing Helped
Like most parents, Jonathan’s mom tried everything the pediatrician recommended.
“We did Miralax for a while. But after I researched how damaging it can be long term, I switched to magnesium citrate and joined parent groups for help.”
Still, nothing worked consistently. Even with therapies and diet changes, the issues kept resurfacing.
“We’d get a little relief, then it’d come right back. That’s when someone mentioned pediatric chiropractic.”
The Turning Point
Walking into Ideal Family Chiropractic was a leap of faith.
“My husband wasn’t on board at first — he thought it was just a bunch of woo-woo. But I was desperate to try something new.”
Then came the INSiGHT scans.
“There was so much red. So many areas that were off. It was eye-opening to actually see how dysregulated his nervous system was. It validated everything we were seeing at home.”
And the changes came fast.
“After the third or fourth adjustment — his constipation let up. That had never happened that fast before.”
What Changed
Consistency brought results.
Constipation: 90% improved
Behavior: Happier, more content, fewer meltdowns
Balance: No more tripping, walking stairs one foot at a time, jumping with both feet
Emotional regulation: “Now, if I ask him to do something, he thinks about it — then does it. It’s not just a battle.”
Even the skeptics became believers.
“My husband now wants to come in with us. He saw the changes and couldn’t deny it anymore.”
And perhaps best of all — Jonathan isn’t scared anymore.
“Do you love your back doctor?” his mom asked.
“Yeah!” he said with a smile. “It doesn’t hurt. It’s not scary.”
Life Now
“It’s seriously a night and day change,” she said. “I was hoping for some relief when we came in. I wasn’t expecting this.”
Now, their days are calm. Predictable. Full of play and progress.
“Before care, maybe 20% of our day was peaceful. Now it’s 90%. He’s balanced. He’s regulated. He’s thriving.”
And this mama is sharing their story with everyone.
“I talk about Ideal Family Chiropractic all the time — to other parents, to our therapy team, in every autism group I’m in. Because it’s changed everything.”
