Demystifying Sensory Issues
Sensory issues affect nearly 1 in 6 children, a number that is alarmingly on the rise.
Contrary to popular belief, these are significant challenges that children do not just outgrow.
Many healthcare providers may overlook or dismiss them, but understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for your child’s well-being.
Categories of Sensory Issues
Hypersensitivity (Overreacting): Children may feel easily overwhelmed by sensory inputs like noise, lights, or textures, leading to intense emotional reactions.
Hyposensitivity (Underreacting): Children might not notice sensory elements that bother others, engaging in sensory-seeking behaviors like spinning or making noise.
Recognizing which category your child falls into is paramount in finding tailored strategies to support them more effectively.
Understanding the Underlying Factors of Sensory Issues
Several factors, including prematurity, birth trauma, and environmental influences, play a role in the onset of sensory challenges.
These elements often converge in a "Perfect Storm," leading to conditions such as subluxation, dysautonomia, and vagus nerve dysfunction, all rooted in a stressed and imbalanced nervous system.
While many parents have explored various interventions, from occupational therapy to dietary supplements, the results can sometimes be less than what you hoped for.
This is why we advocate for a holistic approach that zeroes in on the root causes - Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.
Through our specialized sensory tests and INSiGHT Scans, we aim to pinpoint the core issues, enabling us to design a tailored plan that prioritizes your child's overall well-being.
INSiGHT Scanning Technology
In order to assess and identify the stress on your child's nervous system, our office uses INSiGHT scans. We are able to measure the stress and determine its specific location, quantity, and intensity.
This makes it possible to develop a personalized care plan to correct the subluxations and relieve stress.
Initial Exam STRESSED
When the neurospinal system is stressed a decrease in function results. INSiGHT scanning allows us to look deeply into the spinal nerve connections and understand the impact these subluxations have on the overall health of the patient. Note one sided red and blue lines.
Follow Up Exam HEALTHIER
Getting rid of subluxation can result in amazing natural neurological healing, which enhances the digestive, immunological, and motor systems. Your child will perform more effectively overall, have better sleep, and be able to regulate their emotions better. Note more balanced, less red and decreased blue lines.
Our Approach to Sensory Issues
While we don't claim to treat or cure sensory challenges, our focus is on confronting the underlying causes directly.
Through our gentle chiropractic techniques, we aim to activate your child's parasympathetic "rest and relax" response, enhancing their ability to process sensory stimuli.
