Before starting with Dr. Trevor, I had intense anxiety that was controlling my life. I would start crying because it felt like mental torture that I couldn’t escape from. For years, I was constantly stuck in flight or fight symptoms. I tried different medications that failed to help me or even made things worse. I did cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma therapy along with regularly seeing a different chiropractor. After I began seeing Dr. Trevor and learning a lot about the nervous system I knew I was stuck in flight or flight and couldn’t get out of it no matter how much I tried. Now, I can’t tell you the mental relief I have! It is so peaceful to wake up not fearing the day for no reason and not feel jittery. It is such a huge blessing and win for me! I’m becoming more like my old self again and can function so much better. Before, the smallest things would throw me off the edge, and now they don’t! If something does happen, I don’t fall as far and I get back up right away. I would tell anyone thinking about starting care to trust the process, it works! Our nervous systems are so important to every aspect of our well-being!

Our daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 5. She was having seizures, but they were somewhat controlled with two different medications. She had difficulties trying new things and engaging in social situations. She would get worked up in new situations because she wanted so badly to try them but couldn’t get past her anxiety. She began feeling different than her peers and was frustrated by how hard it was for her. Everything I told Dr. Trevor made sense when we looked at the scans. Her nervous system was not calm. Her gas pedal was stuck on, and it explained a lot of the things we were seeing at home. The difference between the care here compared to what we were doing before was great. My daughter felt safe and cared for. They took time to understand her and worked with her to make things as easy as possible. Now, reactions to unexpected events are not as intense and she calms down much quicker. She got through an entire season of basketball and even tried a dance performance! She continues to surprise us and herself. She feels so proud after participating in something that she maybe wouldn’t have before. Her teacher at school tells us she is initiating small conversations with her, which is also a huge step. Since starting care, she hasn’t had a single seizure either. We are almost completely off one medication and will continue to get off the other one in hopes to be medicine free!

I originally came in during pregnancy because I was dealing with severe sciatic nerve pain that was affecting my ability to work, sleep, and take care of my other kids. After my youngest was born, my infant and I continued care and I started to bring my middle daughter as well. She was struggling with potty training and had big emotional swings – going from zero to one hundred very quickly! On top of all of this, it felt like our family was constantly sick, especially with the kids in daycare and school. It made daily life stressful and unpredictable because we were always dealing with someone being ill, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Seeing the scans helped us to understand that there was more going on below the surface. It gave me a visual of how stress was affecting our nervous systems and helped clarify why emotional regulation and immune challenges were showing up the way they were. The biggest difference I have found with care at Foundations is that it looks at the nervous system and its overall function, not just the symptoms. It is consistent, intentional, and focused on long-term change rather than short-term fixes. Our lives feel much more proactive than reactive. There wasn’t one single moment of healing – it was a series of changes over time. My sciatic pain improved, my daughter’s potty training eventually “clicked”, and her emotional responses became more manageable. One of the biggest benefits of care has been our overall health. We used to deal with frequent and sometimes serious illnesses, including an RSV hospitalization. In the last year and a half, we haven’t had any of those major illnesses. When we do get sick, it is milder and shorter. I would tell anyone considering starting care to be consistent and trust the process!

A sensory processing disorder made my life extremely difficult with two rambunctious kids. Sounds, smells, and textures would easily overwhelm me. I had years of therapy helping me figure out stressors and identifying what would and would not trigger major sensory responses. My life was spent avoiding those triggers as much as possible.
I tried traditional chiropractic care in the past. While it helped with my allergies and other little stressors, I never realized the connection with the sensory side of things. After beginning care, I was able to overcome some sensory triggers. Another major improvement was the ability to have my children touch me more often. Their light touches no longer make my skin crawl and I don’t push them away as I would have done in the past. My life is amazing now. I still look for and avoid most triggers, just out of habit, but I don’t have as much of a hard time when I do encounter them. My recommendation for anyone looking to start care with Dr. Trevor is just do it!

Before starting care with Dr. Trevor at Foundations, I was in severe back pain and had a significant loss of mobility. I was feeling hopeless and worried. It was hard to maintain a proper quality of life for me and my family. When I saw my scans, they drew me in quickly. They showed issues that I hadn’t even mentioned to Dr. Trevor yet! Within the first two days, I started getting relief. Now, I have virtually NO pain and have more mobility than I ever thought I would. I am sleeping, I process viruses faster, and my mental and emotional state of mind have improved! Do yourself a huge favor and give it a try! I love how truly family-oriented and accepting they are here. It is my new favorite place to be!
