What to Expect

Your Care Starts Here

As you’ll see with our unique 3-Step Process, everything begins with taking the time to truly listen to your questions and concerns, then we work together to set goals for your care, and last, we use the most modern technology (INSiGHT Scanning) to allow us to assess exactly where the nervous system is stressed, stuck (subluxated), exhausted, and not functioning properly.

Every single aspect of the care we provide is focused on the nervous system. That simply means ensuring that the body’s most important system is able to rest, relax, heal, grow, and adapt.

Those five things are so important, from a newborn baby who is supposed to be sleeping more than they are awake, to both parents and kids lacking rest, and the families needing to recharge.

Our goal is to always take the time to explain and educate our patients every step of the way. We see the path to healing, restoration, and full health as our main priority.

“My son Luke has been seeing Dr. Barnett since the age of 4. Luke (7 now) has a mild case of asthma like his mother and has always had trouble breathing especially when he gets sick. Every time Luke gets adjusted he can tell a difference in his breathing patterns. The adjustment opens up his lungs and allows his body to function properly, reducing the amount of time he needs his inhaler. Both of my boys are so aware of their own bodies and when they need to be adjusted. And they know that a good adjustment is necessary to function at 100%.”

“Why do I bring my daughter to the chiropractor? Preventative maintenance. To catch a potential problem and fix it. To make an issue as least troublesome as possible versus one that could go unnoticed and cause health issues, surgery, and very expensive medical bills later in life. I do it to make sure she feels the best she can, body and mind, because it’s not just bones we’re dealing with. I do it to set her up for the healthiest, best future I can possibly provide.”

“Our child, M, spent most of his life suffering from bed wetting. At first when he was about 4 friends and family would give me well-meaning advice, but none of it worked, and I felt very judged....like I was doing something wrong as a parent. M had no accidents during the day, and only suffered at night. As M grew older this problem never went away. Every single night was the same thing and sometimes multiple times a night. We tried everything! M's pediatrician said they would grow out of it. A pediatric urologist said M would grow out of it. We tried alarms, waking up several times in the night, no liquids after a certain time, essential oil, hypnotist, counseling and even explored that maybe M was constipated. Nothing worked. M became a teenager and still experiencing the same issue. Broke my heart to hear M cry about how they hated their body. So we tried chiropractic care and it has changed our lives. The change has not been over night but with consistent care there have been more dry nights than we have ever experienced. I am so grateful for the help and support that Well Family Chiropractic has given us.”

“Life before chiropractic definitely involved more pain, perhaps not daily but a couple of times a week, waking up sore/stiff and remaining that way all day. My wife once told me she wouldn’t tolerate my anger when I was in pain, couldn’t exactly quote her, but the phrasing was along the lines of “I will not be around the house much when we’re old if you’re in moods like this often.” And I actually agreed and understood her on that because when my back hurt so bad that I couldn’t really help with the kids or chores I was both angry and sad, and my temper was horrible. My biggest objection to receiving chiropractic care was definitely doubtfulness. I doubted that it would really help manage pain, and therefore doubted that it was worth the money. I overcame that hurdle the first time I was adjusted. The only way I could describe how my head and neck felt is that I went in there with a 50lb beard, and he shaved it off in seconds. I had no idea that my neck had become stiff, that I had lost some range of motion, and that I was not only turning slow - but using my whole body to adapt to that stiffness. The initial surprise of the mobility increase in my neck had me very fired up to see what other results may be lurking nearby, just waiting to be unleashed from within. From there, the next thing I noticed is that when my whole family caught some sort of bug, I got over it quite quickly - I’m not one to get sick for long, but this was a very fast recovery. I also noticed a bit of a shift in my ADHD symptoms, felt I had an easier time “getting into the zone” when a project required more of my focus. I maintain weekly adjustments now because after completing a multi-visit-per-week healing regimen, it’s been a total game changer!"

What To Expect

Our Clinical Process

Step 1

We Listen.

When you come in for your consultation, we strive to take the time necessary to really listen. We understand that the most important aspect to getting our patients back on track is to dive into their case history, and no one knows that better than you.

The appointment begins with our customized intake paperwork (delivered to you via email or text). This helps us go through our “CSI” aspect of the process. Here is our first chance to see if we find anything that may have contributed to the “Perfect Storm”. This is the set of challenges that may have overwhelmed and imbalanced your child’s nervous system.

Don’t worry, we will never leave you out of any of our processes. Our staff is committed to having an open line of communication with our patients and will explain to you exactly how the science of chiropractic works. We will explain what to expect, and answer any questions you may have.

Step 2

Insight scans find, measure, and map out the neurological stress

We don’t guess, we test.

The vast majority of neurological-focused health care is really only looking for obvious pathology. This completely misses the boat on actually measuring neurological function.
We focus 100% of our clinical care on the autonomic nervous system. This controls and coordinates the function of every other system and cell in the body. This is why so many Perfect Storm kids also have significant challenges with gut function, immune function, behavioral and emotional well-being, and more.
The Insight Scans are absolutely incredible. They are an entirely non-invasive way of measuring how much neurological dysfunction and distress (subluxation) is stuck within your child’s autonomic nervous system. The scans also help us locate and map out exactly where the worst of it is.

Step 3

A Customized Care Plan

This is where all the steps come together. Dr. Barnett will build a personalized and goal focused Care Plan.

Our Care Plan is based entirely on the principles of neuroplasticity and “Perfect Storm” science. Our Care Plan process sets us apart not only from other forms of chiropractic, but from all forms of health care period.

Dr. Barnett will sit down with you and walk you through every bit of the Consultation & Insight Exam findings. He will explain what everything means, but most importantly, lay out the details of the Neurological Restoration Care Plan best suited to meet the goals you put forth for your child and family!

We Don’t Guess, We Test

INSiGHT Scanning

Data Informed Diagnosis

INSiGHT scans measure heart rate variability, electromyography & thermography. These give Dr. Barnett a good look at how your nervous system is functioning and how well your body adapts to stress.

Safe For

  • Adults
  • Expecting mothers
  • Teens
  • Toddlers
  • New born babies

Beating Stress

Lifestyle choices and actions may be causing stresses that affect the function of your nervous system, whether you feel them or not! That’s why we don’t guess, we test using CLA’s INSiGHT scanning technology!

neuroTHERMAL
neuroCORE
neuroPULSE

neuroTHERMAL

CLA’s INSiGHT neuroTHERMAL scanning creates a thermographic image that allows Dr. Barnett to identify areas of poor autonomic nerve regulation.

Why is it important in nerve functional testing to look at temperature? When nerve interference occurs it interferes with the vasoconstriction (cooling) and vasodilatation (heating) feature. When a person has too much nerve tension, they cannot regulate the caliber of blood vessels (cooling and heating).

neuroTHERMAL measures the spinal nerves control of organs and glands. This is the ideal technology to assess the autonomic system and detect deepening health issues associated with spinal change.

neuroCORE

CLA’s INSIGHT neuroCORE scanning system accurately measures muscle tone and balance along the spine.

neuroCORE will analyze the neuromuscular activity along the spine. This will help Dr. Barnett to manage the effects of the vertebral subluxation.

neuroPULSE

CLA’s neuroPULSE scanning analyzes the overall effects of stress and anxiety in patients.

Measuring heart rate, skin conductant and skin temperature, the neuroPULSE scan will show Dr. Barnett how well the vagus nerve is controlling the balance between sympathetic stress and the ability to modulate and adapt to that stress.

Who We Care For

Pediatric

Well Family Chiropractic specializes in pediatric care. Our attention to Pediatric Care is what really sets us apart. We are committed to helping your child have incredible results from difficulty sleeping, dealing with colic, chronic sickness, to sensory and spectrum challenges. Whatever the concern is, we are here to help!

Perinatal

We understand the foundation of the entire family’s health is built during pregnancy. There is nothing more important to the health of the family than the journey of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and then the postpartum period. WFC believes in supporting and empowering women during that journey, relieving tension, anxiety, exhaustion and other health challenges throughout pregnancy.

Family

A beautiful thing occurs when the parents have greater emotional, mental and physical health, the kids see it too! Kids learn their healthy habits from us parents. If we are constantly stressed out, wound up, and emotionally exhausted, our kids will come to expect this to be their life as well. So by taking care of yourself, your children will follow by example!
