Yes. Chiropractic care at Lumina is tailored specifically to the age, size, and needs of each patient. Adjustments for infants and children are very different from traditional adult adjustments and use gentle, specific techniques with minimal force. For pregnant moms, care is also modified throughout each stage of pregnancy, including Webster-certified techniques designed specifically for pregnancy.
The objective of the adjustment is to reduce stress to the nervous system caused by spinal and cranial misalignments. This allows the body to perform optimally and improve the potential for healing and wellness.

At Lumina, our focus goes beyond simply treating neck or back pain. We take a nervous system-centered approach to understand how stress may be affecting the way your body adapts, regulates, and functions.
Using detailed health histories, neurological assessments, and CLA Insight scans, we look for patterns of nervous system stress and create individualized care recommendations for babies, children, pregnant moms, and entire families.
Our goal is not just to help you feel better, it is to help your nervous system function and adapt better.

No. Chiropractic care is always your choice.
Your initial recommendations are based on what we find during your examination and neurological scans, along with your goals for care. As your nervous system changes, we reassess your progress and adjust your recommendations accordingly.
Many families choose to continue with wellness care because they value having chiropractic as part of their family’s proactive health routine, but there is never an obligation to continue indefinitely.

There is no one-size-fits-all number.
The frequency and duration of care depend on several factors, including age, health history, neurological stress patterns, how long those patterns have been present, current symptoms, and your individual goals.
After your first visit and evaluation, we’ll review our findings with you at your Report of Findings and explain exactly what we recommend and why.
-
We do not take insurance. Lumina Chiropractic + Wellness is a cash-based practice, which allows us to make recommendations based on what we believe is appropriate for you or your child rather than what an insurance plan determines is medically necessary.
We strive to keep care straightforward and transparent, and we’ll review all fees and care options with you before you begin.

Your nervous system controls and coordinates virtually every function in your body and plays an important role in how you respond and adapt to physical, chemical, and emotional stress.
Nervous system-focused chiropractic care looks beyond the location of a symptom and evaluates how the brain, spinal cord, and body are communicating and adapting.
At Lumina, we use gentle chiropractic adjustments along with CLA Insight technology to identify patterns of stress and track changes throughout care.

Pediatric chiropractic care is designed to support a child’s developing nervous system and overall ability to adapt.
Families often seek care for concerns involving sleep, digestion, tension, comfort, regulation, posture, developmental transitions, or simply to support their child’s overall wellness.
Chiropractic does not treat or cure specific diseases. Instead, our focus is on improving nervous system function and supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate and adapt.
