Gentle Chiropractic Care for Sensory Processing Issues in Franklin, TN
Ready to find relief for your child?
Children with sensory processing challenges may struggle with clothing, food textures, loud noises, lights, balance, coordination, or personal space. These sensitivities can make everyday life overwhelming, leading to meltdowns, frustration, and avoidance of new experiences.
At Three Nails Chiropractic, we help children calm their nervous system, process sensory input effectively, and move toward exploration, learning, and comfort in their daily lives. Families in Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station, and Nolensville trust us to provide natural, gentle, neurologically-focused care for their sensory-sensitive children.
Why Sensory Processing Challenges Happen
Many sensory challenges stem from an overactive fight-or-flight response. When the nervous system is stressed, the body prioritizes safety and comfort, keeping children stuck in familiar routines—like wearing the same soft clothing or avoiding certain foods.
By calming the nervous system, chiropractic care allows the brain and body to connect more effectively, promoting:
Better tolerance for textures, lights, and sounds
Improved balance, coordination, and fine motor skills
Greater curiosity and willingness to explore new experiences
Our approach focuses on supporting the nervous system so your child can process sensory information naturally:
Insight Scans – Non-invasive scans pinpoint stress areas in the nervous system affecting sensory processing.
Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments – Reduce nerve stress and help your child relax into a state of calm.
Cranial Work – Balances the skull and palate, aiding sensory integration, especially for children with tactile or oral sensitivities.
Follow-up Scans & Monitoring – Track progress and adjust care for long-term improvements.
Parent Guidance – Practical tips for home routines, sensory-friendly strategies, and creating a calm environment.
By addressing the root cause rather than just symptoms, children can experience life with fewer meltdowns, better self-regulation, and increased confidence.
This scan shows lots of stress in the vagus nerve. This nerve is critical for activating healing and restoration in the body. When stressed, the body gets stuck in fight or flight mode, which causes overwhelm and dysregulation throughout the whole body.
