Woohoo! We can’t wait to meet you!
This visit is fun because we get to learn all the things about how your/your child’s body is functioning. We’ll start by diving into your health history, discuss challenges you may be facing, and more importantly, what your health goals are.
For kiddo’s 3 years of age and older, we will likely do this part with the parents,
and the child can play. We do this for a few reasons:
Kids are more perceptive than we give them credit for. In our experience, sometimes they don’t like when we talk about them right in front of them.
We want coming into the office to be a positive experience! If they have to sit through listening to grown-ups talk AND THEN sit through our exam, we’re getting right to the end of the attention-span and patience barrier which can be frustrating for them.
It will allow them to get comfortable in the room they will be adjusted in. Most of the time, adjustments can be incorporated into play time, so they typically enjoy the experience!
Next, we’ll evaluate your/your child’s nervous system!
We do this using up to 3 non-invasive tools (no radiation and safe for children and pregnant individuals!)
1. Spinal Thermography - This test is used to assess the part of your nervous system that helps to control your organs, glands, and blood vessels using temperature. Temperature is an accurate indicator as to where stress is building up and how deeply it affects bodily functions.
2. Muscle EMG - This test determines your current muscle tone and balance. Asymmetry and improper muscle distribution could be a contributing factor to many conditions.
3. Heart Rate Variability - This test helps us to determine your overall ability to adapt to the environment. It tells us if you’re more wired for “flight-or-fight” (stress) or “rest and repair”. A stressed-out nervous system is less likely to heal.
After these tests, Dr. Brittany retires to her nerd-ary to put all these puzzle pieces together to get a look at the bigger picture.
We want to make sure we are recommending a care plan and providing adjustments that are tailored to you individually.
Now comes the fun part….YOUR RESULTS!
This part is arguably even more fun than the first one, because you get the results of all your tests and you get to find out what’s going on in your body! Then, a course of care will be recommended to get to the root cause of your current issues. Many tell us that after this report, they feel lots of hope.
