Dr. Veronica's 4-year-old just got her first ear infection. Dr. Serena's daughter has battled eczema for two years. As chiropractors who see miracles in their offices daily, this feels like... an insult.

In this raw, unplanned episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz get vulnerable about what it feels like when your own kids get sick despite doing "all the things." They discuss the existential crisis natural-minded parents face when chiropractic care doesn't seem to be "working," why Dr. Serena initially thought her scans were a scam when she scanned her own daughter, and the reality that even chiropractors' kids get sick sometimes. Learn why 80% of ear infections are viral (and don't need antibiotics), how to gather information before making treatment decisions, and the perspective shift that changes everything: "Imagine where we'd be without this knowledge." This is the honest conversation about the journey through health—not just the highlight reel.

Your baby favors one side. You've been told it's just a tight muscle—do some stretches, try tummy time, wait it out.

In this episode of Motherhood Aligned and Assigned, Dr. Serena Coffman and Dr. Veronica Schiltz discuss how a stressed-out nervous system impacts babies with torticollis. Through real patient stories, they reveal why pediatric PT alone often isn't enough—babies who had their muscles balanced still couldn't roll both sides, crawl, or sleep well. The root cause? Nervous system stress and subluxation keeping those muscles contracted. Learn how birth interventions create upper neck stress, why torticollis and constipation are the same issue, and what makes neurologically-focused chiropractic different. You don't have to choose between painful stretches and nothing—there's a third option that works with your baby's nervous system.
