Lower back pain AND digestive issues? They’re not separate problems - they’re connected through your nervous system. At Catalyst Family Chiropractic, we have the solution. 💪💚

You’re dealing with chronic lower back pain. Tight, achy, worse after sitting all day or after workouts.
Plus digestive issues: bloating, constipation, sometimes diarrhea, feeling like your gut never works right.
You think these are two separate problems and maybe you have tried everything.
Maybe the probiotics and elimination diet have helped temporarily. But both problems keep coming back.

Did you know that your lower back and digestion are directly connected through your nervous system?
Your lower spine (specifically L1-L2 vertebrae) controls your digestive system.
Nerves from these vertebrae innervate:
Small intestine
Large intestine (colon)
Digestive motility (how food moves through)
Enzyme secretion
Absorption

When your lumbar spine is compensating from sitting all day at desk, old lifting injuries, sports impacts, chronic stress creating muscle tension- nerve signals to your gut get disrupted.

This results in:
Digestive motility slows (constipation)
Bloating increases (food not moving through properly)
Enzyme secretion affected (poor digestion)
IBS-type symptoms (your gut can’t regulate)

You can eat perfectly clean and take all the probiotics, but if nerve flow to your gut is compromised, digestion won’t work optimally.

How chiropractic helps:
Lumbar adjustments (L1-L2 specifically) restore nerve flow to digestive organs
Spinal balance reduces inflammation affecting both back and gut
Nervous system regulation (digestion only works well in parasympathetic/“rest-and-digest” mode)

Plus we’ll tell you: Stay hydrated, reduce inflammatory foods, manage stress, move regularly. But these only work when nerve communication to your gut is clear.

What a dad just told us this week in the practice:
“I’ve had IBS for 5 years and crazy low back pain. If you would have told me chiropractic would help me heal, I would have thought you were crazy. But after adjustments, my gut finally works normally.”

Champ has been getting adjusted since the day he was born.

🏥 Four days after birth, he had emergency surgery.
🏥 At four months old, he started chemo treatments.

Through all of it, his parents continued to prioritize chiropractic care because they understood how much stress his body and nervous system were under.

The goal has always been simple:
➡️Help his body adapt.
➡️Help his nervous system regulate.
➡️Support his healing through every season.

Chiropractic care is not just for adults with back pain.

It can be a powerful way to support kids as their bodies grow, heal, and handle life’s stress.

And Champ still gets adjusted regularly to this day.

Everyone talks about summer like it’s the season of rest and recharge. And in some ways, it is. But your nervous system? It’s working overtime.
Here’s what’s actually happening inside your body all summer long:

☀️ HEAT STRESS
High temperatures force your body to constantly regulate core temperature — sweating, vasodilation, increased heart rate. That’s a significant physiological load, especially if you’re not hydrating well or spending long hours outside.

🧴 CHEMICAL STRESS
Sunscreen, bug spray, chlorine, processed summer foods, alcohol at cookouts — your liver and lymphatic system are processing a higher chemical burden than usual. This taxes your detox pathways and can leave you feeling sluggish even when you’re “relaxing.”

🏃 PHYSICAL STRESS
More activity, more travel, sleeping in unfamiliar beds, hauling kids and gear — your spine and nervous system absorb all of it. Summer is actually one of the highest-injury seasons we see in practice.

😰 EMOTIONAL STRESS
Schedule disruption, kids home all day, financial pressure from vacations, social obligations — your cortisol doesn’t take a summer break just because you do.

Your nervous system is the master regulator of ALL of these stress responses. When it’s overwhelmed, you feel it: poor sleep, tension headaches, digestive issues, mood swings, fatigue.

Regular chiropractic care helps your nervous system stay regulated through all of it — so you can actually enjoy summer instead of just surviving it.
Save this one. Your body will thank you. 🌿

If you have a 3 year (or let’s be honest young kiddos), you already know.

The emotional swings can be big, fast, and confusing.

But when you think about how much their brain and body are learning every single day, it makes sense.

Gentle adjustments help support the nervous system so their body can calm down, relax, and process all those big feelings a little easier.

We are not adjusting kids because something is “wrong” with them.

We are supporting their body while they grow, learn, and figure out how to be a well regulated human.

Your adjustment works. What you do after it is what makes it last. 🌿

Stop coming in only when you’re in pain.
Stop going back to the habits that created the problem.
Stop ignoring what your body is telling you between visits.

When you don’t have family nearby or a big community to lean on, finding the right support matters.

That’s what makes this so special.

For this family, Catalyst became more than a place for chiropractic care.

It became a place where they could find resources, support, guidance, and encouragement for their health journey.

From care with Dr. Jeremy to sauna, cold plunge, and gym access… everything they need is right here.

And sometimes that’s exactly what a family needs most.

A place to feel supported again.

Feeding is not just about the mouth.

When a baby nurses, suckles, or bottle feeds, it stimulates the vagus nerve, which helps train the body to shift into a calmer parasympathetic state.

But if that baby’s nervous system is still carrying stress from birth, feeding can become a lot harder.

That is why we look beyond the latch.

Sometimes the question is not just, “Are they feeding?”

It is, “Can their body calm down enough to feed well?”

At Catalyst, we use nervous system focused care to help babies regulate, recover, and function better from the start.

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) = your autonomic nervous system malfunctioning and is controlled by your brainstem and upper cervical spine. 💚

You stand up, heart races, dizziness hits, you might pass out. Your heart rate jumps 30+ beats just from standing.
This isn’t anxiety, but autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

What you’re living with: Dizziness when upright, rapid heartbeat, extreme fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, nausea, temperature dysregulation, feeling like your body is constantly betraying you.

Did you know that your autonomic nervous system is controlled by your brainstem and upper cervical spine (C1-C2)?

When upper neck has tension or imbalance, it affects brainstem function, vagus nerve communication, blood flow to brain, autonomic regulation.

How upper cervical chiropractic helps POTS:
Upper cervical adjustments support brainstem function and vagus nerve. Improved blood flow to brain reduces dizziness/brain fog, nervous system regulation improves over time, and reduced spinal stress = less burden on already-struggling autonomic system.

Research shows: Some POTS patients experience reduced dizzy spells, improved exercise tolerance, better cognitive function, decreased heart rate fluctuations, improved quality of life with upper cervical care.

When we support that foundation, some patients find their body can regulate better.
You deserve support that addresses the nervous system foundation - not just symptom management. 💚
