Should I get adjusted if nothing feels 'wrong'?
We’re glad nothing feels wrong, and even so we hope to facilitate a deeper brain + body connection with you, guiding your nervous system out of a state of “alert and defense/hyper-vigilance’ and into a state of “ahhhh, it feels good to be in this body”, no matter your age.
At luminous, the chiropractic adjustment is never for fixing, but for optimizing and thriving.

What can I expect for my Initial Visit?
Your initial visit with us is all about getting to know your child (or you) and gaining as much understanding as we can about what is bringing them (or yourself) into LUMINOUS. This appointment is where you will start to see the difference in our office. We want to know ALL the things! The more information you share the better clarity we can receive on how to best support your kiddo.
The first set of INSiGHT Scans will be preformed during this visit as well. LUMINOUS is THE ONLY office in Licking County with this state of the art technology. 2-3 scans that take ~ 15 minutes to complete. They are 100% painless and your child (or you) may only feel a cold sensation from the sensors.
These scans are what Dr. Zach will use to build a HYPER-SPECIFIC care plan for your child. To help support THEIR nervous system based on what it needs. Not just repeated, ‘cookie cutter’ care for everyone that walks in our doors.
To finish the initial visit your child will receive their very first adjustment with us. Gentle & specific input to start their nervous system on its healing journey!

These care plans take all of the information from your consult - the stress, the experiences, all of it into account. We then take our understanding of the goals your are working towards and layer in the most important aspect - INSiGHT Scans - and create a plan that completely lays out the number of visits and timeline for your care. Thus, having an well thought out, in-depth ‘roadmap’ for you and/ or your child‘s journey with us!

Is it safe to get adjusted while pregnant?
It is absolutely safe, and even optimal, to get adjusted at any stage of pregnancy. Prenatal chiropractic care is all about creating space - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We use gentle and specific adjustments to create ease and comfort in the body for mom and baby - referred to as the Webster Technique. We want to help our mamas adapt to the growing life inside of her, giving routine reminders that her body knows exactly what to do. Harmony in the body allows for harmony in the mind.

How can my child benefit from Chiropractic care??
Chiropractic care is beneficial and safe for children of all ages. Children are the best example of the potential of Chiropractic in its ability to create balance, ease, and regulation both in the body and mind. Our nervous system and our bodies do an excellent job of adapting, literally from the moment that we are conceived, and in today’s world of social media, altered food quality, and packed schedules, our children are adapting to a lot. All of this adaptation takes a toll on our children’s ability to be a kid! The care we offer at Luminous can help your child’s nervous system to step off the metaphorical gas pedal.
This constant stepping on the gas pedal commonly shows up in our children as:
-sensory problems
-hyperactivity (ADHD)
-digestive difficulties
-immunity challenges

Can chiropractic help my athlete?
YES! Chiropractic care has been utilized by the world’s top performers for many different reasons, but the top reason is to help them get to & maintain their highest level of performance. By optimizing the brain-body connection athletes can notice an increase in muscle function, strength, reaction time, recovery, increased awareness, and overall adaptability to the demands of their chosen sport.
-
Can I use my insurance?
Yes, absolutely! Luminous Chiropractic is an out-of-network provider. This means that we cannot directly bill to your insurance company. However, if your plan has chiropractic coverage we can provide the needed information for you to submit to your provider for reimbursement.
We maintain this status because we do not want insurance companies dictating what we can and cannot do for our practice members. We want to maintain our focus on prevention and wellness, while, unfortunately, insurance companies are focused more on symptom management and not the root of the challenge.
-
What is Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic?
Simply put it is chiropractic care with a focus on how the nervous system is supported via that care.
Expanding some on this - it is also the understanding of how the nervous system gets into states of challenge AND also the understanding of the process it will go through as it reorganizes & heals.
How this shows up for your kiddos care in our office is knowing WHERE we are going to adjust them, HOW we are going to adjust them, and WHEN we are going to adjust them.
Gaining the information via INSiGHT Scans allows us to have the clearest picture we can have on how to specifically support your child’s nervous system.
