Before starting care at Congruent Life Chiropractic, our 8-year-old son was struggling with anxiety and separation anxiety that seemed to come out of nowhere. It started with school drop-offs, where he would cry that his stomach hurt, and eventually turned into intense headaches, stomach aches, and panic attacks at bedtime. We saw doctors, were referred to a neurologist, and were even given recommendations for medication, but nothing really explained what was going on or gave us the answers we were hoping for.

After learning more about PANS/PANDAS and hearing about neurologically focused chiropractic care, we found CLC. We weren’t exactly sure what to expect at first, but we quickly felt confident that we were in the right place. The doctors and staff helped us understand how regular adjustments could support our son’s nervous system and give his body the best chance to function and thrive.

Dr. Mike told us it could take a few months before we saw big changes, and he was right. After about 3–4 months of consistent care, our son was able to stay overnight with a family member for the first time in almost a year. Soon after, he was spending time away from us again, saying goodbye without getting emotional, and acting like the carefree kid we knew was still in there.

Now, one year after starting care at CLC, our son is back to his normal, happy, relaxed self. Last year, we felt glued to his side, but this year he is independent, enjoys playing with friends again, and life feels so much more balanced. Watching his anxiety fade has been an incredible relief, and we are so thankful we found Congruent Life Chiropractic
