Every chiropractor shares the same goal: helping people live healthier lives. The difference comes down to specialty and depth of focus. Many chiropractors focus on spinal and musculoskeletal health, like back pain, neck pain, posture, and sports injuries. That’s important and incredible work!

PX Docs have completed extensive additional training in pediatric health, neurodevelopment, sensory and spectrum challenges, case management, and so much more. Our specialty is the nervous system, which is why our exam process centers on the Neurological INSiGHT Scans. These scans objectively measure how the nervous system is functioning and help us track progress throughout care.

Beyond this advanced training and technology, every PX Doc is trained in a wide range of specific adjusting techniques. That allows us to tailor care to each patient, choosing the approach that will be most effective for their unique nervous system and needs.

So it’s not about better or worse. It’s about finding the right fit. For families navigating chronic health challenges and complex neurological conditions, or simply looking for great pediatric, perinatal, and family wellness care, PX Docs are a perfect fit for your family’s health goals.

Your first visit starts with an in-depth consultation and conversation. Your PX Doc will take the time to go through a thorough case history, actively and intentionally listening to every challenge and concern you have for your child. Those little things you may have been told not to worry about, like “they’ll grow out of it,” are exactly where we’ll dig in the most. Often, the real root cause of your child’s health challenges lies right in those details.

From there, we’ll perform an in-depth neurological examination centered on the INSiGHT Scans. These scans allow us to objectively measure the location and severity of your child’s subluxation, nervous system dysfunction, dysautonomia (dysregulation) and more — giving us a clear picture of how their nervous system is functioning.

Every child is unique, but the two biggest factors in answering this question are your child’s age and the severity of their subluxation and nervous system imbalance (dysautonomia). Put simply, younger kids with less severe neurological dysfunction tend to respond faster and typically need a less involved care plan.

Even for more complex, chronic Perfect Storm cases (our specialty within the PX Docs Network), there are clear ways to track and celebrate progress in the early stages. The Neurological INSiGHT Scans often show improvement early in care, even before bigger changes in symptoms appear. We also watch closely for what we call the Neurological Soft Signs of Healing: improvements in sleep, digestion, immune function, and motor tone.

Seeing these early changes on the scans and in the soft signs lets us know healing is happening at the foundation, and that we’re right on track!

Yes, absolutely! Most PX Doc offices place a special emphasis on caring for kids, because right now, they need it more than ever. But we also provide exceptional care for pregnant moms, moms and dads, young adults, and the entire family. After all, every nervous system at every age deserves to function at its best!

In fact, caring for parents is one of the most important things we do. When a child is going through The Perfect Storm and chronic health struggles, the stress on the entire family goes up exponentially. Sleepless nights, endless appointments, and constant worry can leave parents feeling wound up and worn out, stuck in the same fight-or-flight stress pattern as their child. That’s exactly why your nervous system deserves care, too.

And here’s the beautiful part: a calm, regulated parent helps create a calm, regulated child. When you take care of your own nervous system, you’re better equipped to support your child’s healing and your family’s health as a whole. Every nervous system at every age deserves to function at its best!

Put simply, being born is not easy! Even the most natural, intervention-free birth places a lot of physical stress on a baby’s delicate head, neck, spine, and nervous system as they make their way through the birth canal. And today, many births also involve interventions like induction, epidurals, forceps, vacuum extraction, and C-sections. These can add significant physical and chemical stress on a newborn’s nervous system before they take their very first breath.

On top of that, the nervous system is developing at an incredibly rapid rate during pregnancy and infancy. This makes it a critical window, where even small amounts of neurological interference (subluxation) can have a big impact. And that stress doesn’t just come from birth. Growth spurts, long hours in car seats and carriers, tumbles and falls, and exposure to toxins or medications (especially antibiotics) can all cause stress to stack up on a baby’s nervous system over time.

When that stress and subluxation stays in a baby’s system for months or years, it often shows up in early challenges like colic, reflux, constipation, and poor sleep. And babies don’t always grow out of these challenges. Sometimes they grow into the next wave of health struggles as they get older.
