Why Manchaca Families Choose River City Wellness for Reflux
What sets River City Wellness apart is our unique focus on the nervous system’s role in your child’s overall health and development. Unlike traditional approaches that may only address symptoms, we look at the root cause of reflux issues through our neurologically-focused chiropractic care.

We specialize in gentle, specific adjustments that are perfectly safe for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Our techniques are designed to support the body’s natural healing processes by removing interference in the nervous system, allowing your child’s digestive system to function more effectively.
Families from Manchaca and surrounding South Austin communities trust us because we take the time to understand each child’s unique situation and provide personalized care that addresses their specific needs.
Understanding Reflux from a Nervous System Perspective
Many parents don’t realize that reflux symptoms often stem from nervous system dysfunction rather than just digestive issues alone. The vagus nerve, which controls many digestive functions including the muscles that keep stomach contents from coming back up, can be affected by stress and tension in the upper spine and brainstem area.
When there’s interference in this crucial communication pathway between the brain and digestive system, your child may experience the uncomfortable symptoms of reflux. This is often part of what we call the “Perfect Storm” – a combination of factors including birth trauma, early stress, and developmental challenges that can impact nervous system function.
While conventional treatments like medications may provide temporary symptom relief, they don’t address the underlying nervous system dysfunction that’s often at the root of the problem. Our approach focuses on removing this interference, allowing your child’s body to heal and function optimally from the inside out.
By supporting proper nervous system function, we help restore the natural coordination between your child’s brain and digestive system, often leading to significant improvements in reflux symptoms.

Every child is unique, and the number of visits depends on various factors including the severity of symptoms, how long they’ve been present, and how your child’s nervous system responds to care.
