A Nervous System–First Approach to Sensory Challenges

Sensory processing differences, ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences are rooted in how the nervous system receives, processes, and responds to information. Our care focuses on calming the nervous system so it can better adapt and self-regulate.

  • Gentle, sensory-friendly adjustments
  • Focus on vagus nerve and autonomic regulation
  • INSiGHT scans to map nervous system stress
  • Calm, predictable environment for every visit

Specialized neuro-focused care

PX Docs chiropractors are trained in the neurological underpinnings of sensory processing, emotional regulation, and autonomic nervous system balance.

How We Support Sensory & Neurodivergent Children

Gentle, focused care designed to support the unique ways neurodivergent nervous systems process the world.

Sensory regulation

Gentle adjustments help calm an overactive nervous system, reducing the intensity of sensory input and supporting better self-regulation.

Emotional balance

When the nervous system shifts out of fight-or-flight, children often show improvements in emotional responses, transitions, and daily routines.

Coordination & motor planning

Addressing spinal tension and nervous system interference can improve body awareness, balance, and motor coordination.

Signs Your Child May Benefit from Nervous System Support

Many families seek our care when they notice their child struggling with sensory or regulatory patterns that affect daily life. Common concerns include:

Sensory overload — covering ears, avoiding textures, or meltdowns in busy environments

Difficulty with transitions or changes in routine

Big emotional reactions that seem disproportionate

Trouble with focus, attention, or sitting still

Coordination challenges, clumsiness, or body awareness difficulties

Sleep difficulties — trouble settling, restless nights

Picky eating beyond typical preferences

Social or communication challenges

INSiGHT Scans

Three gentle, non-invasive scans that help us find and quantify nervous system stress — particularly valuable for understanding sensory processing and regulation challenges.

Thermography

Checks temperature patterns along the spine for inflammation and autonomic imbalance.

Surface EMG

Measures muscle tension and energy distribution — often elevated in sensory-sensitive children.

Heart Rate Variability

Reveals autonomic regulation capacity — a key marker in sensory and neurodivergent profiles.
