You've Tried Everything. Nothing's Working. And You're Running Out of Hope.

Your baby cries for hours, and the pediatrician says it's "just colic." Your toddler isn't meeting milestones, and you're told "all kids develop differently—give it time." Your child struggles with focus, meltdowns, or sleep, and everyone says "it's just a phase." Your pregnancy back pain is unbearable, and you hear "it's normal—just part of being pregnant."

But here's what no one is telling you: These aren't problems your child—or you—have to live with.

These are signals. You or your child's nervous system is trying to tell you something.

The Real Problem? Most approaches only look at symptoms or isolated milestones. They miss the neurological foundation that makes everything else possible—how the brain receives information, processes it, and responds to the world.

When that foundation is compromised, the body compensates. Through crying. Through missed milestones. Through behavioral struggles. Through physical discomfort.

You feel:

  • Helpless watching your child struggle while others tell you to "wait and see"

  • Guilty wondering if you missed something or didn't act soon enough

  • Exhausted from sleepless nights, endless appointments, and desperate Google searches

  • Alone because no one else seems to truly understand what your family is going through

  • Frustrated by band-aid solutions that mask symptoms but never address the source

And you're right to want more. Your child shouldn't have to struggle like this. Neither should you.

There's a reason "wait and see" doesn't sit right with you.

Because you know—deep down—there has to be a better way.

There is a better way.

There is a better way.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jennifer, and I started Taproot Chiropractic because after 8 years of practice in different care models, I realized something crucial:

Families need more specialized support.

I've worked in multidisciplinary clinics in Texas. I've practiced high-volume wellness care at The Joint here in Temecula. I've worked in pediatric and prenatal offices.

And in every setting, I watched the same pattern unfold: Parents came in desperate, having exhausted every conventional option. Their babies wouldn't sleep. Their toddlers were facing another round of ear tubes. Their children struggled to breathe peacefully through the night.

But when we addressed the neurological foundation instead of just managing symptoms, everything shifted. Sleep became peaceful. Immune systems strengthened. Breathing normalized.

Those transformations changed everything for me.

Because I realized: this isn't about "treatment" or even just pain relief.

This is about optimization of the nervous system. About regulation. About responding, engaging, and having a fuller expression of life.

This is about watching children unfold into who they're meant to be—when their nervous system finally has the foundation to support it.

So I'm creating something different.

Taproot Chiropractic isn't just another wellness practice. This is a place where:

  • Parents feel heard, not dismissed

  • Children are understood as developing nervous systems, not "difficult kids"

  • Families learn the truth about health—how physiology should work and how it gets off track

  • Early intervention creates the foundation for lifelong neurological wellness

I don't just want to adjust your child. I want to walk through life beside your family—giving you the knowledge, support, and specialized care that changes trajectories.

When Parents Tell Us Their Stories, We Often Hear...

"My child has been struggling with colic since birth, and everyone keeps saying they'll grow out of it - but they haven't."

"I'm pregnant and worried about my baby's positioning - I want to prepare for the easiest possible birth."

"We've tried everything for our baby's torticollis and sleep issues, but nothing seems to work long-term.”

The Hidden Crisis Affecting Today's Children

The statistics are staggering: More than 40% of school-aged children now have at least one chronic health condition. 1 in 9 children have ADHD. 1 in 31 children are diagnosed with autism. Sleep issues, feeding difficulties, and behavioral struggles are becoming the norm, not the exception.

But these numbers don't tell the whole story. What if these challenges aren't inevitable? What if there's a missing piece that could change everything?

At Taproot Chiropractic, we've discovered that gentle nervous system support from the earliest stages can transform how Temecula families' children develop, learn, and thrive. We're not just treating symptoms—we're building better foundations.

Why Taproot is Different: Our Developmental Approach

We Look Deeper Than Symptoms

While others treat symptoms, we examine the whole person and their nervous system patterns underneath. Every "challenging" behavior is your child's way of communicating that their neurological system needs support.

We Start at the Source

From pregnancy through childhood, we address the root neurological patterns that influence everything from sleep and feeding to learning and behavior. Earlier intervention = greater impact.

We See the Whole Child

No two children are the same. We create individualized care plans that work WITH your child's unique nervous system, honoring their developmental timeline and natural healing ability.

How We Help Your & Your Child's Nervous System Thrive

  • We start by really hearing your story - your concerns, your child's history, and what you've already tried. This conversation helps us understand your family's unique situation and goals.

  • Using neurological INSiGHT scans and functional brain-based testing, we answer two critical questions:

    • Are there inefficiencies in how the brain is receiving, processing, and sending information?

    • Where is this child (or adult) developmentally, and what tools are they using to process and engage with their world?

  • Based on our findings, we create a customized plan specifically designed for your family member's nervous system needs and developmental stage.

  • We'll sit down together to explain exactly what we discovered, what it means for your child's development, and how we can help support their nervous system.

  • Gentle, precise adjustments designed to support optimal nervous system function and help your child's brain and body communicate more effectively.

As a stepmom and aunt, I understand the frustration of watching your child struggle without knowing how to help. That's why I've dedicated my practice to understanding how the nervous system develops and what it needs to thrive.

I've trained extensively in developmental approaches to chiropractic care, including the Certificate of Proficiency in Pediatric & Family Chiropractic Care through Life University, and the FOCUS Academy Certification with Dr. Amy Spoelstra, because I believe every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential.

Save My Spot
  • Dr Jennifer is beyond kind, patient, and attentive. She not only knows her stuff, but she also sincerely educates her patients to understand how our nervous system affects our entire wellbeing. Through the last 4 months of consistently being under her care, I have noticed the progress I've made in getting better sleep, experiencing no migraines, and having an overall healthy pregnancy. I believe her adjustments have factored in to a decrease in my morning sickness symptoms! She has taught me a lot as a first-time mom-to-be with listening to my body and how to deal with stressors, and I could not be more grateful for her

  • I started seeing Dr. Jennifer after I had my son. I had a rib out of place after labor and was in a lot of pain. When I went in to see her I couldn’t sit in a chair without significant discomfort. After just one appointment my rib pain was much more manageable and after my second appointment the rib pain was basically gone. She’s also been adjusting my newborn because his neck was misaligned after being low in my pelvis for many hours during labor. His neck movement has also improved quickly with adjustments. Dr. Jennifer is so gentle with my tiny baby and does her best to ensure he is happy during his adjustments even if that means standing and rocking him while he’s being adjusted. We are both so happy with the care we receive and I would recommend her to anyone!

  • I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jen and her chiropractic care! I have had some chronic lower back pain on and off for years (learned that it was actually the SI joint!), once I became pregnant I decided to finally do something about it and started to see Jen. I have been seeing her regularly for over a month now and my back pain is gone! I feel so much improvement in my day-to-day comfort and mobility. Jen is very knowledgeable and kind and makes sure I’m comfortable throughout adjustments, fully accommodating my growing belly.
