Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers. No pressure, no pitch — just clarity.

How is your care different from traditional chiropractic?

How do I know if chiropractic care is right for my child?

If your child is struggling with chronic illness, sleep issues, focus problems, anxiety, sensory challenges, or behavioral issues — and you've tried everything else without lasting results — their nervous system is likely involved. We run a non-invasive neurological scan on every new patient that shows us exactly what's happening. No guessing. You'll have a clear picture before we ever recommend care.

What happens on the first visit?

Your first visit is all about understanding your story and getting objective data. We do a full consultation, a range of motion exam, and INSiGHT CoreScore neurological scans. Then we schedule a Report of Findings — a separate appointment where we walk you through everything we found and present a care plan built specifically around your results. Nobody leaves confused.

Do I need a referral to come in?

No referral needed. You can book directly online or call us at 651-340-3013. We welcome walk-ins but appointments are preferred so we can give you our full attention.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Just yourself and your completed intake paperwork — which you can fill out online before you arrive. If you have previous imaging like X-rays or MRIs bring those along. They give us helpful context.

Can chiropractic help with ADHD and sensory processing?

We don't diagnose or treat ADHD or sensory processing disorder. What we do is assess and restore nervous system function. When a dysregulated nervous system starts to regulate — focus improves, sensory overwhelm decreases, behavior stabilizes, sleep gets better. Parents tell us this consistently. We let the results speak.

Just yourself or your child and any relevant medical records if you have them. We'll handle the rest. Comfortable clothing. Nothing that restricts your neck, back or shoulders.

My child is scared of doctors. Will this be traumatic for them?

We hear this all the time — and we're really good at it. Our adjustments are gentle and our team is warm, patient, and kid-focused. Most kids who come in terrified leave asking when they get to come back. We go at their pace, always.

Just yourself or your child and any relevant medical records if you have them. We'll handle the rest.

Can the whole family get care together?

Absolutely — and we love it. We treat newborns through grandparents. Many of our best outcomes come from families who get care together because healing is contagious. When Mom's nervous system regulates, the whole household feels it.

We'll always be transparent. Care options are discussed clearly during your visit — no surprises.

ABOUT OUR CARE

What is tonal chiropractic and how is it different?

Most people think chiropractic means someone cracking your back. Tonal chiropractic is completely different. Instead of forcing bones to move, we work directly with your nervous system — the system that actually controls your muscles and bones. We use gentle, specific input to help your nervous system release stored tension and self-regulate. The changes often happen between visits as your body continues unwinding. It's subtle, precise, and incredibly effective.

What is INSiGHT CoreScore scanning?

It's a non-invasive neurological assessment that measures how your nervous system is functioning. It includes HRV (heart rate variability), EMG (muscle tension along the spine), and thermal scans. Together they give us a color-coded map of exactly where stress is stored in your nervous system — before we ever touch you. It's painless, takes about 10 minutes, and gives us objective data most clinics never collect.

Is chiropractic care safe for babies and toddlers?

Yes — and it's one of the most impactful times to get care. Birth is one of the most physically stressful events a human body goes through. Tonal adjustments for infants use no more pressure than you'd use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Gentle, specific, and incredibly safe. Many parents bring their newborns in within days of birth.

How long will it take to see results?

Every nervous system is different. Some patients notice changes after the first visit. Others take a few weeks. What we know is this — the longer stress has been stored in the nervous system, the more time it takes to unwind. We set clear expectations at your Report of Findings so you know exactly what to expect and when.

KIDS & FAMILIES

How is your care different from traditional chiropractic?

We don't guess and we don't chase symptoms. We assess how the nervous system is functioning, not just where it hurts. Care is gentle, specific, and based on neurological findings — not forceful adjustments or generic protocols.

My pediatrician says my child is fine. Why would I bring them to a chiropractor?

Pediatricians are incredible at identifying disease. They're not trained to assess nervous system function. Two completely different things. Your child can pass every pediatric exam and still have a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. That's what we assess — and that's what drives the symptoms most parents are desperate to understand.
