Frequently Asked Questions

The nervous system is like a smartphone’s Wi-Fi connection, which allows every app and function to work seamlessly. Just as your smartphone syncs data for various apps—like email, social media, and navigation—the nervous system coordinates multiple essential bodily functions. These functions include motor control (muscles, balance, and movement), sensory perception (touch, pain, temperature), and autonomic functions (digestion, heart rate, breathing). When there’s a misalignment in the spine, it’s as if the Wi-Fi connection becomes weak, causing delays, misfires, or even "app crashes" across the body’s systems.

For example, imagine the autonomic nervous system as the app that runs "in the background," controlling heart rate, breathing, and digestion without you thinking about it—much like how your phone updates automatically. If spinal misalignments disrupt communication, these background processes can go haywire, leading to issues like irregular heart rhythms, digestive problems, emotional meltdowns, or even immune challenges. 

Chiropractic adjustments “reset” these connections, allowing these background systems to operate smoothly, just as a stronger Wi-Fi connection would keep all your apps up-to-date and responsive.

Furthermore, the sensory and motor systems depend on clear signals for proper functioning. Imagine your phone’s touchscreen response lagging; in the body, this might mean pain, poor coordination, or reduced muscle strength. Nervous system-focused chiropractic care helps ensure that these systems receive clear, uninterrupted messages from the body to the brain and back to the body, like restoring a seamless touchscreen experience. This approach allows the whole "operating system" of the body to work in harmony, optimizing physical and mental performance.

At Harmonized Neurology, your care begins with a thoughtful two-part process designed to help you feel seen, heard, and fully supported from the start.

Day 1 is all about discovery. We’ll walk through your health history, talk through your goals, and complete a set of gentle, non-invasive neurological scans that give us a clear picture of how your nervous system is functioning.

Day 2 is where it all comes together. Dr. Rhonda will walk you through your scan results, connect the dots between your history and current symptoms, and outline a personalized care plan — including what it will take to move you from restoration to wellness (because that’s always the goal!). You’ll also receive your first adjustment and a clear explanation of the financial investment so you can make an informed choice with confidence.

Birth is one of the most physically stressful events a baby will ever experience. Even the smoothest delivery can place strain on a newborn’s delicate spine and nervous system. Gentle, neurologically-focused chiropractic care helps regulate and support a developing nervous system, setting the foundation for healthier growth and development. Early care can address common concerns like latch difficulties, colic, reflux, constipation, and sleep disturbances — issues often dismissed as “normal” or something they’ll outgrow. But in reality, without proper support, these early signs of nervous system stress can grow into deeper challenges later in life, such as ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, anxiety, and even Autism. Supporting the nervous system from the very beginning helps your baby thrive now and build resilience for the future.

Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are extremely gentle and safe. In fact, the amount of pressure used is often no more than what you’d apply to check the ripeness of a tomato. There is no twisting, cracking, or popping involved. Each technique is carefully tailored to the child’s age, size, and stage of development, ensuring a calm and comfortable experience that supports healthy nervous system function from the start.

While chiropractic care doesn’t “treat” conditions in the traditional medical sense, it helps restore balance and function to the nervous system — which in turn allows the body to heal, grow, and regulate more effectively. At Harmonized Neurology, we commonly support children with challenges such as colic, ear infections, torticollis, reflux, constipation, developmental delays, sensory processing issues, sleep struggles, anxiety, ADHD, and Autism. By addressing the underlying nervous system stress, we help unlock your child’s full potential for health, resilience, and well-being.

There are many signs that may indicate your child’s nervous system is under stress — including frequent meltdowns, difficulty sleeping, constipation, repeated illnesses, delayed milestones, trouble latching or nursing, uneven head shape, or poor balance and coordination. At Harmonized Neurology, we use advanced neurological exams and CLA INSiGHT Scans to detect underlying stress patterns, even before symptoms become obvious. These scans give us a clear picture of how your child’s nervous system is functioning, so we can create a personalized care plan that supports their growth, development, and long-term well-being.

The frequency of care depends on the level of nervous system stress identified during your initial scans and assessments. In most cases, care begins with more frequent visits to create meaningful change and support the body’s ability to regulate and heal. As the nervous system becomes more balanced and resilient, visits are gradually spaced out based on your or your child’s progress and needs. Every care plan is customized and adjusted over time to reflect your healing journey.

Neurological scans are non-invasive tools that measure how well your nervous system is functioning. They assess nerve and muscle tension, heart rate variability, and your body’s ability to adapt to stress — all critical indicators of overall health. These scans provide objective, visual data that allow us to track progress over time and adjust care based on real results, not just symptoms. Most importantly, they help us create personalized care plans that address your unique neurological needs for more effective and lasting outcomes.

Chiropractic care supports the entire family by improving key areas like sleep, digestion, immune function, focus, behavior, and stress resilience. When each family member’s nervous system is more balanced, emotional stress decreases and daily challenges become easier to navigate. As regulation improves, so do moods, relationships, and overall energy — helping your home feel more connected, calm, and healthy. It’s not just about fewer symptoms; it’s about creating a better quality of life for everyone under your roof.

The nervous system plays a direct role in regulating the immune system, meaning when the nervous system is under stress, immune function can be compromised. Tension and miscommunication within the nervous system may lower the body’s ability to respond to illness and increase sensitivity to allergens. Neurologically-focused chiropractic care helps restore proper nerve communication and reduce stress patterns, allowing the immune system to function more efficiently and appropriately. As a result, many families notice fewer illnesses, quicker recovery times, and a reduction in allergy symptoms with consistent care.

While chiropractic care doesn’t directly treat conditions like Parkinson’s or MS, it focuses on improving how the nervous system functions and adapts — which can lead to meaningful improvements in daily life. Gentle, neurologically-focused adjustments enhance communication between the brain and body, often resulting in better balance, mobility, energy levels, and overall quality of life. At Harmonized Neurology, care plans may also include supportive therapies such as Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to further regulate the nervous system and support symptom management in a natural, non-invasive way.
