What happens when you stop chasing symptoms… and start addressing the nervous system?
You see miracles. Every day.
At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we’ve spent the last 10 years witnessing those miracles unfold—in the lives of babies, children, pregnant moms, and entire families. Our focus is on building something different: a place where families could find hope, healing, and answers through neurologically-focused chiropractic care.
A decade later, we’ve walked with hundreds and hundreds of families in the Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding communities. And while the challenges they came in with were all unique—speech delays, colic, sensory overwhelm, birth trauma, chronic pain—what we often discovered at the root was the same:
👉 A stressed, imbalanced nervous system.
And when we brought balance back to that system? Healing happened.
Here are just a few of the stories that define our 10 years of impact.
💬 Liam: From Regression to Reconnection
Until the age of two, Liam was a healthy, happy little boy. But then, things began to change. He stopped making eye contact. He stopped speaking. He became aggressive, unpredictable, and overwhelmed.
For over a year, his family avoided outings, unsure how to explain his behavior or what was truly going on. Eventually, they realized—this wasn’t a phase. It was likely autism.
At the suggestion of their naturopath, Liam’s mom looked into chiropractic care. Something about the nervous system-based approach just felt right.
When we performed Liam’s INSiGHT scans, they aligned exactly with his greatest challenges: behavior, gut function, and speech.
Just one month into care, his family began to see big shifts:
He was calmer. The aggression was fading. He started making eye contact again.
Today, Liam is a thriving 5-year-old. He’s making progress in speech and other therapies, he’s potty trained, and he’s even learned to swim! His mom says she believes chiropractic care is what finally calmed his body and mind—giving him the foundation to learn, grow, and connect again.
💬 Jaxon: From Silence to Smiles
Jaxon’s days were filled with frustration. He couldn’t speak, couldn’t express himself, and his family felt helpless.
After trying early intervention and detoxes, they came to Pinnacle—and discovered through scans that his nervous system was constantly overloaded.
Just one month into care, Jaxon was smiling, joking, and relaxing for the first time. By two months, he was talking.
He’s now thriving in every area, even asking when he gets to come back for adjustments. That’s the power of addressing the root.
💬 Michele: Regaining Her Life from POTS & Autonomic Dysfunction
Before finding us, Michele lived in survival mode—fainting, unable to digest food, on multiple medications, and completely drained. She had a binder full of test results, but no relief.
When she heard Dr. Matt speak about the autonomic nervous system, something clicked.
Her scans showed exactly what she suspected—her nervous system was deeply dysregulated. We started care slowly and gently. Over time, her episodes decreased, her energy improved, and she started living again.
For Michele, chiropractic care didn’t just help—it restored her life.
💬 Sully: When Nothing Else Was Working
Sully had tried every therapy—OT, PT, speech, feeding—but was regressing. He was vomiting often, couldn’t sleep, and was overwhelmed by his environment.
His scans revealed deep stress in his nervous system.
After beginning care, Sully began sleeping through the night, stopped vomiting, and even made eye contact for the first time at 22 months old.
Today, Sully is thriving in therapy, walking, climbing, and exploring his voice. His family calls chiropractic care the missing link that helped all the other therapies.
💬 Holden: Profound Autism, and Profound Progress
When Holden began care, he was nonverbal, struggling developmentally, and diagnosed with profound autism and sensory processing disorder.
Within weeks, he said his first sentence after an adjustment.
He became potty trained. He started sleeping better. His mom, Liz, called our care the missing puzzle piece.
Today, Holden can ride a bike, go to the movies, and teach you all about the planets. He’s a bright, curious boy—and the nervous system-based care he receives at Pinnacle continues to help him shine.
💬 Lincoln: Beating Sensory Overload & Thriving in School
Lincoln struggled with daily meltdowns, poor focus, and extreme sensitivity to noise and crowds. School was hard. Home was harder.
His family had tried dietary changes and even other chiropractic care, but nothing stuck—until they came to Pinnacle.
Our scans showed that Lincoln’s brain was in constant “go-go-go” mode. Once we started care, everything changed.
He became calmer, more focused, and confident. He’s thriving in school, building better relationships with his brother, and enjoying family outings again. His nervous system is now working with him—not against him.
💬 LJ: From Colic and Gas Pain to a Happy, Snuggly Baby
At just 10 weeks old, LJ was inconsolable—gassy, in pain, and refusing to nurse or sleep. Tummy time was a nightmare.
His mom came to Pinnacle desperate for answers. Our scans revealed high tension in his neck and shoulders, and we discovered oral ties that were affecting his ability to feed and rest.
After just 1 week of care, LJ improved. By week 3, his mom said, “He was a different baby.”
Today, LJ is calm, curious, and meeting all his milestones—snuggling up with mom and enjoying life.
💬 Brooklyn: Breaking Through a Plateau
After 1.5 years of traditional physical therapy, Brooklyn had hit a wall. Her family was trying everything, but progress had stalled—until they found Pinnacle.
Within just 3 weeks of care, she reached her PT goals—bringing her parents to tears. 💛
But the breakthroughs didn’t stop there. Brooklyn had long struggled with food aversions and texture sensitivities, which made mealtimes stressful and unpredictable. Since starting care, she’s become a more adventurous eater, trying new foods and enjoying them!
She’s also found relief in another big way: bowel movements. For Brooklyn, constipation had been a chronic and uncomfortable part of her spina bifida journey. After starting chiropractic care, her digestion finally began to regulate—and now, consistent bowel movements are part of her new normal.
Her parents joke, “It’s not a Pinnacle visit if it doesn’t end in a poop!”
Not just because it makes them laugh—but because it’s a tangible sign her nervous system is finally working with her, not against her.
💬 Shauna: From Pregnancy Pain to a Powerful Delivery
Pregnancy should be joyful—but for Shauna, the pain made every day a struggle. She could barely walk without discomfort and was desperate for relief.
Her Insight scans confirmed misalignments, and we began gentle adjustments during her pregnancy.
The results? She was comfortable again—and her second child was born after just three pushes. She credits Pinnacle and the prenatal care she received for her fast, smooth delivery.
💡 What These Stories Prove
These families all came to us with different symptoms—
But at the root of it all was the same issue:
➡️ A nervous system stuck in stress mode.
➡️ A body that couldn’t rest, regulate, or grow.
When we measure. When we plan. When we restore balance… the body does what it was created to do.
These stories are common in our office—because this model of care works. We don’t guess. We use science, technology, and experience to build personalized care plans for each family that walks through our doors.
🧠 Symptoms Are Common. But They’re Not Normal.
Colic. Speech delays. Sensory struggles. Chronic constipation. Sleep issues.
These symptoms may be common in today’s world—but they are not normal. And they’re not random. They’re signals of a nervous system in distress.
At Pinnacle, we help you uncover the root and build a roadmap toward healing.
