What To Expect
Your Care Starts Here
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.
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 to allow us to assess exactly where the nervous system is stressed, stuck (subluxated), exhausted, and not functioning properly.
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.
What To Expect
Our Clinical Process
Step 1
Your Story
When you come into our office for your first appointment at SFC, you will be greeted by friendly staff and given a brief office tour. You will then spend the next 30 minutes with the doctor discussing your history, your current health and challenges, your goals, and answering any questions you may have.
Step 2
Insight scans map out the neurological stress
If you are not pregnant, we will take a set of X-rays on a brand-new digital X-ray machine, and we will then perform a set of nervous system scans (safe for pregnancy and children) using tools that specifically access the motor and autonomic divisions of your nervous system to identify imbalances in areas that may affect your body’s ability to function properly. You will then receive your first adjustment.
Step 3
Your Care Plan
Upon checking out at the front desk, we will schedule a second appointment to review the results of the X-rays and/or scans. From there, we will create a custom care plan to address your specific needs.
We Don’t Guess, We Test
INSiGHT Scanning
neuroTHERMAL
CLA’s INSiGHT neuroTHERMAL scanning creates a thermographic image that allows Dr. Shaffer 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. Shaffer 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 conduction and skin temperature, the neuroPULSE scan will show Dr. Shaffer how well the vagus nerve is controlling the balance between sympathetic stress and the ability to modulate and adapt to that stress.
