Hey RWC Family!
This week, we’re diving into something we hear all the time from stressed, exhausted parents —
“My baby hates the stretches,”
“The PT exercises make them scream,”
“Why isn’t this getting better yet?”
If your little one has torticollis, a head tilt, or struggles nursing on one side… this week’s feature is going to give you the clarity and real answers you’ve been searching for.

The Real Reason Stretching Isn’t Fixing Your Baby’s Torticollis
If your baby’s head is stuck tilting to one side, you’ve probably been told to stretch, stretch, and stretch some more. But torticollis isn’t “just a tight muscle.”
It’s a neurological problem, rooted in the stress your baby’s nervous system experienced during pregnancy or birth.
This week’s article explains:
✨ Why stretching alone often doesn’t work
✨ How birth trauma causes subluxation in the upper neck
✨ Why torticollis can lead to ear infections, digestive issues, delays, and more
✨ What actually helps babies calm, heal, and thrive

Patient Story of the Week – You Deserve Hope
From Torticollis, Flat Spots & Ear Infections… to Thriving
Nathan, 5 months old at the start of care
Nathan came to RWC after a traumatic emergency C-section left him with torticollis, plagiocephaly (flat head), digestive issues, constant fussiness, and eczema covering his face.
He cried through stretches, struggled in therapy, and was fitted for a helmet — but nothing was changing. His entire system was stuck in stress mode, and he couldn’t hit his milestones.
Within the first month of care at RWC, Nathan’s digestive issues and eczema cleared up. His nervous system began to calm.
By month two, everything changed — he started sitting, crawling, pulling to stand, and for the first time in his little life… he wasn’t miserable.
He hasn’t had a single ear infection since starting care, and his helmet time dramatically decreased as his head shape improved.
His parents finally saw their baby thriving instead of just “getting by.”

Who should attend?
Any parent who feels like something “just isn’t right,” has questions about their child’s development, or is dealing with struggles like colic, reflux, constipation, sleep issues, sensory overload, big emotions, or frequent meltdowns. If you’ve ever been told “they’ll grow out of it,” this workshop is absolutely for you.
What is the Perfect Storm?
It’s a powerful framework that explains how layers of stress, from pregnancy, birth interventions, feeding challenges, immune struggles, or early tension can stack on a child’s nervous system and create the overwhelm so many families are facing today. We dive deep into breaking down the why behind the struggles, not just the symptoms.
Why attend?
This workshop helps parents finally make sense of what’s going on with their child. You’ll learn how the nervous system affects behavior, digestion, sleep, emotions, and development; And what steps you can take to help your child regulate, connect, and thrive. For many families, this is the moment everything finally “clicks.”

WHAT IS THE GIFT OF HEALTH?
For two months, current RWC patients can gift someone they love a full New Patient Experience at RWC for just $47 (normally $200!) — and 100% of that fee is donated to the H.I.M. Food Bank right here in Mansfield, TX.
No catch. No strings.
Just support, clarity, and hope for families who need it.
WHO DOES THIS HELP?
Every family knows someone who needs a fresh start:
- A child who’s chronically sick or overstimulated
- A kid struggling with sleep, focus, or emotional regulation
- A baby who can’t settle or calm
- A new mom running on empty
- A parent overwhelmed and out of answers
The Gift of Health gives them access to gentle, neurologically-focused chiropractic care — while also supporting families in our community.

The Gift of Health exam includes:
- A Full nervous system evaluation
- INSiGHT neurological scans

WHY WE DO IT
At RWC, we see families every day who are searching for clarity, answers, and hope.
When the nervous system shifts from stress → calm → connection, everything begins to change.
This campaign helps us:
- Reach families who truly need help
- Provide natural, drug-free support

We have exciting news to share. Rooted Wellness Chiropractic is continuing to grow, and so is our connection with SHINE Pediatrics.
Over the past year, we have had the privilege of caring for many families who also see the wonderful providers at SHINE Pediatrics. The collaboration has been natural and so impactful. Both of our offices share the same passion for nervous system first care, whole child wellness, and helping families thrive. Because of that, working together feels easy, aligned, and deeply supportive for the parents and children we serve.
We are now taking that partnership to the next level.
We are strengthening our communication, coordination, and shared support systems with SHINE so that the families we both serve receive the most connected and consistent care possible.
Here is what this means for YOU:
✨ More coordinated support between our office and the SHINE Pediatric team
✨ Smoother referrals when your family needs additional care or evaluation
✨ Shared resources that help you understand your child’s health through a brain and body perspective
✨ A $47 new patient fee for families referred by SHINE, rather than the standard $200 new patient fee
✨An even stronger wellness community surrounding and supporting your family
At Rooted Wellness, we believe it truly takes a village. We are grateful to partner with providers who understand what we do and why we do it, and who share the same mission of helping children and families live healthy, connected lives.
If you have any questions about this collaboration or how it may benefit your family, please reach out. We are always here for you.
