What to Expect + what are INSiGHT Scans?
Day 1
When you arrive at the office you will be greeted by our team and given a tour of our office where you'll see our fully stocked mother's room, play area, and snack/coffee bar! Then, you will meet with one of our Sunrise Doctors for an in depth consultation on you or your child's history and goals.
Next, we will do a deep dive into the function of your child's nervous system using CLA INSiGHT scans! It is a set of 3 scans that are completely non invasive and safe for the whole family! You can learn more about these scans below or read this article for even more great, in depth information! You can expect to be in the office for about 45 minutes for Day 1.
Day 2
On your second visit, you will receive a thorough walkthrough of your child's scans as well as the customized care plan that was created for them based on their scans, history, and health goals. This will also be a great time for answering every single one of your questions & concerns!
Afterwards, your child will receive their first adjustment to get right to work on relieving stress and tension from their nervous system!
Adjustments
Once the new patient process is completed, your child's care plan begins! Each neuro-tonal adjustment typically takes 5-10 minutes and is specifically tailored to each person! While many parents may initially get nervous about starting something new like chiropractic care for their kids and family, they are immediately put at ease when they see how gentle and easy-going things are with neurologically-focused, pediatric chiropractic care from the team of Pediatric Chiropractors at Sunrise! Get ready for lots of laughs, relaxation, better sleep, and some serious healing!
We have water, snacks, a play area, and a mother's room with a changing table + nursing chair to help every visit run smoothly!
CLA Scans
At Sunrise Pediatric & Family Chiropractic , we utilize cutting-edge technology to evaluate each practice member’s nervous system, allowing us to uncover deeper insights into the root causes of their health challenges.
Our office uses CLA INSiGHT Scans to help us find, measure, and quantify how much stress and tension may be stuck in your child’s autonomic nervous system. These scans are completely safe for everyone — from newborns to expectant mothers and beyond!
We perform three specialized scans, and each gives us a unique view into your nervous system!
Thermal Scan
Our thermal scan assesses the temperature on both sides of your spine, beginning at your sacrum and continuing all the way up to the base of your skull.
The surface temperature of your skin along the spine is regulated by your autonomic nervous system — the part of your body responsible for automatic functions like heart rate, breathing, hormone regulation, and more.
When your autonomic nervous system is operating at its best, the temperatures on the left and right sides of your spine should be balanced and even.
By performing this scan, we can identify the intensity and duration of the stress affecting your nervous system.
SEMG
Our sEMG scan — short for surface electromyography— detects patterns of stress within your nervous system that are impacting your postural muscle tone and balance.
The small muscles that run along your spine play a crucial role in maintaining structural support and providing proprioception, which is your body’s ability to sense its position and movement.
When the energy output of these muscles is too high or becomes imbalanced, it can negatively affect your energy levels, coordination, and the overall protection of your spine.
HRV
Our HRV ( Heart Rate Variability) scan provides valuable insight into how well your body and nervous system are adapting to stress.
Individuals with a healthy, well-balanced nervous system are able to respond to stressors easily and efficiently. HRV helps us determine whether your parasympathetic or sympathetic nervous system is more dominant and how much adaptive capacity your body currently has.
FAQS
Does your office accept my insurance?
No, we do not accept any insurance. We do this for a variety of reasons, most notably so we can offer discounted plans and give you and your family the best care possible! We can accept FSA/HSA cards.
What techniques do you use?
Dr. Tucker and Dr. Saturn are skilled and trained in a variety of techniques, including TRT, Full Spine Diversified, Activator, Thompson, Network Spinal, Bio Geometric Integration and the Webster Technique. They use their clinical expertise to decide which type of adjustments you will respond best to, and will also take into consideration patient preferences!
What are the scans you perform and are they safe for infants and pregnancy?
Yes! The scans we perform are 100% safe for newborns, pregnant moms, and everyone else. The scans allow us to take a deeper look into your nervous system to better tailor care to your specific needs.
Will I get adjusted on the first visit?
You receive your first adjustment on your second visit. This gives us the ability to look at the whole picture of your scans, history, and specific goals to make sure we are giving the best care possible.
How do I know if me or my child will benefit from chiropractic care?
We are glad you asked! The reason we have our new patient process split into two visits is so that we can fully analyze your history, neurological scans, and other factors to decide if you are a good candidate for chiropractic care in our office.
