Clinic Member Spotlight: The Horansky Family
As a mama to these 3 beautiful and energetic boys, Sarah is one busy lady and she's been prioritizing natural health for herself and her kids! We caught up with Sarah this month and asked her to share why she makes regular wellness chiropractic care a priority for herself and her kids.
"I was on the fence about Chiropractic care in the beginning because of money and trying to schedule in appointments with an already full schedule, but I was determined to go to every appointment because I knew it would help me and my kids overall.
You WILL feel better at the end. It's totally worth it!"

Check us out on Instagram and Facebook every Tuesday for quick educational videos on important topics related to neurofunctional chiropractic and raising healthy humans with natural and drug-free alternatives.
Then tune in LIVE on Thursdays at lunch when our Doctors take to the social media airwaves to answer all your questions, comments and concerns! Check out our Calendar of Events for February to see our Tuesday Topics:
Tune in during the month of February to learn more about The Perfect Storm - the sequence of events from pregnancy to early adulthood that is griping our children in the cyclone of sickness, medications, specialist appointments and general ill health. From Autism, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, to anxiety and depression - every Tuesday we will share easy to digest informative videos about how and why these issues are so prevalent. THEN ... at the end of the month our Doctors go LIVE with a virtual workshop to present the simple science behind why and how Neurofunctional Chiropractic can support these kiddos and help them out of the "Storm" for good!
This topic is ALWAYS a hot one so share this info with your friends and family and anyone who has kiddos with these diagnosis looking for help, hope and answers!
Health Tip of the Month: What is The Perfect Storm
* Your child is chronically sick — difficulty nursing, colic, reflux, constipation, ear infections, RSV, croup, chronic colds, allergies, asthma, and chronic autoimmune issues.
* Your child is chronically stressed — autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, depression, focus and learning challenges, and sleep disorders.
While this article is long and dives super deep into exactly what’s causing this rise in chronic illness in our kids, it truly does contain the missing links and answers you’ve long been looking for moms and dads!
To get our kids healthy, nothing matters more than figuring out exactly what caused them to get sick and struggle in the first place.
It’s not always fun and can be highly emotional for us because we want nothing more than for our kids to never struggle. But stay the course with this one parent, we’ll not only provide you answers — but most importantly, the action steps you need to get your child healing, healthy, and happy once again!
FREE Workshop: Perfect Storm
In just 1-2 generations (not near enough time for genetics to actually change much at all), rates of chronic illness in kids have been rising quickly to absolutely horrendous, troubling levels.
ADHD and Behaviour Problems in kids range from 10-15% an climbing
Anxiety in kids was 11.6%, then nearly doubled to 20.5% due to the pandemic
Depression in kids was 8.5%, then more than doubled to 25.2% due to the pandemic
Overall mental illness in kids now affects 1 in 6 kids and climbing rapidly
Autism rates have increased 241% since just 2000, now affecting 1 in 44 kids
Chiropractors have been noticing this trend as far back as 2008 and have been identifying the real life environmental factors at play and began to call this THE PERFECT STORM. This is for the moms and dads up late at night scouring the internet, joining the Facebook groups and scheduling appointments with countless specialist, therapists and doctors.
To get our kids healthy, nothing matters more than figuring out exactly what caused them to get sick and struggle in the first place.
Join Pediatric Chiropractors Dr. Tara Sutton & Dr. Jasmin Maxymowich for a FREE VIRTUAL workshop full of Answers, Hope and Help! Monday February 27th 7:30-9:00pm. Registration is required. Please feel free to share this with friends and family that may have kiddos in this boat and could use an evening of support!
