When Maternal Stress Becomes Nervous System Dysfunction

The Science of Maternal Stress

Research shows that chronic maternal stress affects not just the mother, but the entire family system. Our chiropractic office in Vadnais Heights has found that when a mother's nervous system is dysregulated, it impacts her ability to co-regulate with her children, affecting their nervous system development.

What We Measure

• Heart rate variability (stress adaptation)
