You know your child. You know when something isn't right.
Maybe it's the chronic ear infections that keep coming back no matter how many rounds of antibiotics you try. Maybe it's the meltdowns that seem way bigger than the situation. The sleep that never quite works. The focus that disappears the moment school gets hard. The anxiety that shows up out of nowhere and won't leave.
You've been to the pediatrician. You've been told everything looks fine. You've adjusted the diet, tried the supplements, read every article at midnight.
And yet here you are.
Here's what nobody has told you yet: when a child's nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight, nothing else works. Sleep interventions don't work. Behavioral strategies don't work. Immune support doesn't work. You can't regulate a dysregulated nervous system from the outside in.
You have to go upstream. That's exactly what we do.
At Olive Me Chiropractic, every child starts with an INSiGHT CoreScore neurological scan — a non-invasive, painless assessment that shows us exactly how your child's nervous system is functioning.
We're looking for three things:
Nervous system adaptability. Is your child's nervous system able to shift between states — calm and alert, focused and relaxed — or is it stuck? A nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight looks like chronic illness, behavioral explosions, sleep problems, and sensory overwhelm.
Spinal muscle tension patterns. Where is stress stored in the body? In kids, we often find tension patterns that trace back to birth — the first and most physically stressful event a human body goes through.
Autonomic imbalance. Is the body's self-regulating system working? This drives immune function, digestion, sleep cycles, and emotional regulation.
The scan takes about 10 minutes. It's completely painless. And it gives us a picture of your child's nervous system that most clinicians never look at.

Before you arrive: Complete your intake paperwork online. The more detail you give us about your child's history — birth, early childhood, current challenges — the better we can serve them.
Day 1 — The Assessment: We start by reading your paperwork and expanding on it. We never re-ask what you've already written. We go deeper. We want to understand your child's full story — not just their current symptoms.
Then we perform a neurological scan and a gentle physical assessment. We look at posture, range of motion, and muscle tension patterns. We build a complete picture.
Day 2 — Report of Findings: We schedule a separate appointment — usually 24-48 hours later — to walk you through everything we found. We show you your child's scan results in plain language, explain exactly what we're seeing, and present a specific care plan built around their nervous system.
You'll leave with a clear picture of what's happening and a concrete plan to address it. No confusion. No pressure. Just answers.
First Adjustment: Once you've decided to move forward, we begin care. Your child's first adjustment is gentle, specific, and quick. Most kids barely notice it's happening.
Dr. Zgia Kjonaas is the owner and lead chiropractor at Olive Me Chiropractic. She has a deep passion for pediatric care — not because it's a specialty she chose from a textbook, but because she's seen firsthand what happens when a child's nervous system gets the support it needs.
She uses a combination of tonal techniques and manual adjusting, guided entirely by what each child's nervous system needs in that moment. No protocols. No cookie-cutter care. Just precise, intentional, nervous system-focused healing.
God designed the body to heal. We just help remove what's in the way.
"She has made a tremendous impact in my daughter's healing with not only digestive issues but behavioral as well. Scarlett looks forward to her visits and leaves feeling relaxed."
"Dr Z has magical hands. She has shifted the paradigm for my Son."
