Every mom has asked it:
“What is going on with my child… and why isn’t anything helping?”
Whether your child is bouncing off the walls, melting down at the smallest change, constantly fidgeting, or struggling to focus no matter how hard they try — it’s heartbreaking, frustrating, and confusing all at once.
You’ve probably already tried:
- The diet changes
- The sticker charts
- The breathing apps
And maybe, someone has brought up medication.
But something in your gut is saying…
“There’s more to the story.”
At Vital Wellness Center, we believe you’re right.
The System Is Failing Our Kids
Let’s be honest: the current system that evaluates kids for ADHD, sensory processing issues, or anxiety is outdated and oversimplified.
Most kids are diagnosed based on basic behavioral questionnaires like:
- “Does your child have trouble sitting still?”
- “Do they interrupt others?”
- “Do they fidget?”
These surface-level questions barely scratch the surface of what’s really going on — yet the answers often lead to a diagnosis and a prescription in just one 10–15 minute conversation.
Far too many kids are being prescribed powerful stimulant medications like Adderall, Ritalin, or Concerta…
📉 After zero testing
📉 With no look into nervous system function
📉 And with no plan for long-term healing
This model doesn’t help kids thrive.
It teaches them to survive.
A Better Way: Start with the Nervous System
Here’s what most providers overlook:
💡 Your child’s behavior is the language of their nervous system.
The reason they’re distracted, hyper, anxious, or sensitive isn’t because they’re bad, broken, or unmotivated.
It’s because their nervous system is overwhelmed — stuck in survival mode.
When that happens, even the simplest tasks (sitting still, switching gears, falling asleep) feel impossible.
That’s why at Vital Wellness Center, we never guess.
We scan.
The 3 Core Nervous System Scans We Use at VWC
These scans are:
- Safe
- Non-invasive
- Pain-free
- Kid-friendly (many even think they’re cool!)
1. Surface Electromyography (sEMG) – How hard is your child’s body working?
- Measures how much energy the body uses just to sit, stand, or move
- Shows if the motor system is wasting energy, compensating, or overly tense
- Helps explain why some kids seem constantly wired, tense, or exhausted
Think of it like checking if your child is driving with the brakes on.
2. Thermography – Is their brain-body communication clear?
- Measures temperature patterns along the spine
- Reveals neurological imbalances
- Identifies disrupted brain-body communication
Kids with ADHD or sensory issues often have “hot spots” or “cold zones” — signs of poor regulation.
This is like checking if signals between the brain and body are clean or scrambled.
3. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – Is their system stuck in stress mode?
- Measures adaptability of the nervous system
- Low HRV = stuck in fight-or-flight mode
- Balanced HRV = calm, flexible, resilient system
This is key for understanding anxiety, sleep issues, and meltdowns.
This Is the Scan-Based Approach You’ve Been Looking For
When we combine these scans, we see the full picture of what your child is going through.
We stop guessing.
We stop labeling.
We start creating a roadmap to true healing.
Once we locate subluxations (neurological blockages), we begin gentle, focused adjustments to restore balance.
The Real Impact on Real Families
When the nervous system calms and regulates, the changes are profound:
- ✅ Focus improves — even without meds
- ✅ Sleep becomes easier
- ✅ Meltdowns shrink or stop
- ✅ Transitions become smoother
- ✅ Emotional resilience grows
Parents tell us:
“I watched my child calmly get dressed for school—for the first time.”
“Teachers asked what changed.”
“Siblings hug now instead of fight.”
All of it starts with the nervous system.
This Isn’t Magic. It’s Science.
Research supports neurologically focused chiropractic care & HRV testing in kids:
- 🔹 JCCP (2022): Significant improvements in behavior/attention in kids receiving chiropractic care
- 🔹 HRV: Widely used as a predictor of emotional regulation and mental health in children
- 🔹 Studies show prenatal stress, birth trauma, and antibiotics can affect nervous system development
