Constipation Relief in Mount Pleasant
When Constipation Becomes a Daily Battle
Many parents first notice subtle cues, such as straining during bowel movements, skipped days, or increased discomfort around meals. Occasional constipation is common, but when it becomes frequent or ongoing, it’s often a signal that something deeper is disrupting your child’s natural rhythm. At Lighthouse Family Chiropractic, we help families in Mount Pleasant understand how the nervous system can play a surprising role in digestion and overall comfort.
The Effect It Has on Digestion
The digestive tract doesn’t work alone; it relies on a balanced nervous system to move food efficiently. When the body stays stuck in a “fight or flight” mode, blood flow and nerve signals to the intestines can slow, making it harder for the bowels to move correctly. Kids under constant stress or tension, whether from birth strain, poor posture, or emotional pressure, may have a nervous system that struggles to coordinate normal digestion.
Seeing the Whole Picture With INSiGHT™ Scans
Before starting care, we use CLA INSiGHT scans to assess how your child’s nervous system is functioning. These gentle, non-invasive scans measure temperature patterns, muscle tone, and heart rate variability to reveal where stress is stored in the body. Children with chronic constipation often show nerve tension in the lower spine—the same region responsible for bowel and bladder control. By understanding these patterns, we can guide care that helps restore better balance and function.
Gentle Chiropractic Care for Growing Bodies
Our care approach is precise, calming, and age-appropriate. With gentle adjustments, we help reduce nerve interference and encourage smoother communication between the brain and digestive system. Many parents notice improvements not just in bowel regularity, but also in their child’s mood, sleep, and energy levels. Seeing their child finally feel comfortable again brings a wave of relief to the whole family.
