Step One: Schedule Your Consultation
The first step is scheduling a consultation with our incredible doctor at Rooted Health Chiropractic.
After scheduling your initial appointment, our team will email you specific paperwork tailored to you and your child’s health history, including your family’s goals for care. We ask that you take a few minutes to complete this thoroughly, sharing as much detail as possible.
This information helps our doctor better understand your family’s needs and allows us to make the most of your time together. Please ensure all paperwork is completed prior to your first visit.
-
Step Two: Consultation
Right away, you’ll notice a difference from traditional doctors, as our doctor at Rooted Health Chiropractic dives deep into you and your child’s case history, truly listening and taking the time to uncover the root causes of your child’s health challenges.
Many parents say this first step leaves them feeling heard, confident, and excited about care—it’s often the first time they truly understand why their child has been struggling.
Please allow approximately 45 minutes for your first visit.
-
Step Three: Neurological Assessment
During your initial consultation, we take a deep look at you and your child’s nervous system using our advanced CLA Neurological INSiGHT Scans. This set of three (3) scans identifies, measures, and quantifies any stress or tension in the autonomic nervous system.
The scans focus on areas such as subluxation and vagus nerve dysfunction—terms that describe a nervous system that may be stressed-out, worn-out, and not functioning properly. Understanding how you and your child’s nervous system is performing during this first visit gives us the insight needed to create a care plan tailored specifically to your family’s unique health needs.
-
Step Four: Report of Findings
During your second visit, your doctor will review the results of you and your child’s assessment, including the chiropractic exam and INSiGHT Scans, and walk you through the Report of Findings. This is the time to go over the results, explain the scan findings, and review you and your child’s personalized action plan in detail.
This visit is an exciting milestone for families It’s often the first time families feel fully informed, with a clear roadmap to support both their own and their child’s health and healing. Every question and concern will be addressed, leaving you feeling confident, empowered, and ready to take the next steps together.
Please allow approximately 30 minutes for this visit.
-
Step Five: Personalized Care Plans
We figure out an exact, customized care plan to fit you and your child’s needs. This is where we take everything we’ve learned and create a plan designed specifically for you and your child’s health. This is one of the moments where our approach truly shines, using a neurologically-based system now taught and used by over 1,000 pediatric chiropractors worldwide.
Our system combines the unique case history with the findings from the neurological exam and INSiGHT Scans. From this, we determine the precise frequency of adjustments and duration of care that best supports you and your child’s well-being. Every plan is fully personalized—no “one-size-fits-all” or cookie-cutter approach like in most healthcare settings.
This is where your roadmap for healing becomes actionable, giving you and your child clarity, confidence, and a clear path toward lasting wellness.

Step Six: Getting Started with Adjustments
Step Six is getting started with you and your child’s adjustments, which are safe, gentle, and designed to relieve tension and stress from the nervous system. While many families may feel nervous about starting something new like chiropractic care, they are quickly put at ease when they experience how gentle, supportive, and easy-going our neurologically-focused pediatric care is.
Get ready for plenty of laughter, relaxation, better sleep, and meaningful progress toward you and your child’s health and healing. These adjustments are the heart of the care plan, helping your nervous system function at its best and setting the stage for long-lasting wellness.
What to Expect at
Rooted Health Chiropractic
Why Neurological INSiGHT Scans?
INSiGHT Scans are non-invasive, easy-to-use tools designed to assess the central nervous system’s function, not just symptoms. Unlike MRIs or blood tests, which look for pathological issues, these scans evaluate how well the nervous system communicates — a key factor in regulating digestion, immunity, sleep, behavior, and development.
By measuring how the nervous system processes input, responds to internal and external stressors, and maintains adaptability, these scans help pinpoint stress and subluxation, guiding personalized care from infancy through adulthood. At Rooted Health Chiropractic, we use three different Neurological INSiGHT Scans to gather a complete picture of you and your child’s nervous system and overall health.
-
What they show:
Temperature differences along the neurospinal system that indicate regions of heightened sympathetic (stress) activity and nerve irritation.What they’re used for:
Detecting areas linked to digestion issues, allergies, sleep disruptions, reflux, colic, and chronic infections.
Identifying sympathetic "hot spots" or neurotension pulling the nervous system out of balance.
Why they’re superior:
Quick, safe for all ages (newborns included), and easily interpretable and understandable for families.
Excellent as a predictive wellness tool, catching dysfunction before symptoms emerge
-
What they show:
Patterns of neuromuscular tone and symmetry across the neurospinal region — revealing tension, imbalance, or exhaustion in the neuromotor systemWhat they’re used for:
Assessing neurodevelopmental and sensory disorders (like ADHD, ASD, sensory processing issues).
Identifying classic patterns:
Raging Bull: High total energy — sympathetic overdrive (anxiety, sleep issues, hyperactivity).
Drunken Bull: Low pattern/symmetry — poor coordination, low tone, focus difficulties.
Raging Drunken Bull: Both combined in more complex cases
Why they’re superior:
Provide nuanced insights into tone and developmental status of the neuromotor system.
Sensitive enough to detect changes quickly — ideal for planning and tracking Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care
-
What they show:
The heart’s beat-to-beat variability — a gold-standard marker of autonomic balance and resilienceWhat they’re used for:
Detecting chronic stress patterns: a dominant sympathetic system ("shifted left") and/or low adaptability ("shifted down").
Tracking emotional, behavioral, sleep, and energy regulation over time
Why they’re superior:
HRV is a direct, quantitative measure of physiological flexibility — essentially, your nervous system’s adaptability to life’s demands and stressors.
Changes in HRV correlate with real-life improvements, often without medications or side effects
Our Approach
At Rooted Health Chiropractic, we approach health differently than conventional medicine. While traditional healthcare treats symptoms from the outside in, chiropractic is rooted in vitalism, seeing the body as a self-healing, ever-adapting organism. Disruptions called subluxations interfere with the nervous system, and gentle, precise adjustments help the body restore balance naturally — true healing comes from within.
We specialize in pediatric, prenatal, and family care, including complex cases like seizures, autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorders, and rare pediatric conditions. We take the time to listen, gather a complete case history, and use Neurological INSiGHT Scans along with gentle techniques to uncover the root cause. Every patient receives a customized care plan — no Band-Aids or cookie-cutter solutions.
At Rooted Health Chiropractic, your family comes first, and every step of care supports the nervous system, promotes natural healing, and helps your family thrive.
