Your TFC Scans: What to Expect

If you’re like most parents, you’re searching for real answers. Not guesses. Not “wait and see.” You want to understand what’s actually happening with your child’s health.

Maybe your baby is struggling with sleep, reflux, or constant ear infections. Maybe your grade-schooler can’t seem to settle, focus, or stay on task. Or maybe your teen is wrestling with anxiety that feels like it came out of nowhere.

What we’ve seen over and over again with the families we serve is this: challenges that look completely different on the surface often come from the same place, which is a stressed, overwhelmed nervous system that’s stuck in fight or flight.

But here’s the best part: once you can see what’s going on inside your child’s nervous system, you can finally get to the root cause and support real, lasting healing, not just chasing symptoms.

Why the Nervous System Matters More Than You Think

Your child’s nervous system is the master control center for their entire body. It oversees every automatic process in their little body: breathing, heartbeat, digestion, immune function, sleep rhythms, and the way they handle stress.

When this system is calm and connected, kids can grow, adapt, learn, and feel their best. But when it becomes overwhelmed or out of balance from birth stress, injuries or falls, sickness, or the everyday pressures that build up, it’s like their body is stuck with the gas pedal pressed down and no easy way to slow things back down.

And that leads to real challenges. A nervous system stuck in stress mode makes it harder to rest, harder to digest, harder to fight off germs, and harder to regulate emotions and behavior.

Introducing: Neurological INSiGHT Scans

This is where cutting-edge technology meets intentional parenting. Neurological INSiGHT scans are completely safe, non-invasive tools that let us see exactly where your child’s nervous system might be holding tension or stress.

These scans aren’t guesses. They give clear, objective insights and help us create a personalized care plan for your child. And yes, they're pretty cool to stick on the fridge, too!

Here’s a look at the three types of scans and what each reveals:

1. NeuroThermal Scan – Your Child’s Autopilot Check

This scan measures temperature differences from one side of the spine to the other, showing how the autonomic nervous system is functioning. This system runs on autopilot, controlling breathing, heartbeat, digestion, immune function, and more.

Temperature imbalances highlight where the nervous system is working overtime and needs support. It’s a simple way to see stress patterns your child can’t tell you about.

2. Surface EMG Scan – The Tension Map

This scan tracks how your child’s neuromuscular system is working, revealing where energy is held or stress is stored.

Think of it as a blueprint of tension in the body. It can show areas of overactivity, fatigue, or lack of coordination.

This scan is especially helpful for:

• ADHD or focus challenges

• Sensory processing issues

• Motor coordination difficulties

• Seizure disorders

• Fertility challenges (for parents!)

When a child seems constantly “revved up” or restless, this scan often shows us why: the nervous system is literally stuck in high gear.

3. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – The Stress Resilience Check

You might have heard of HRV from fitness trackers like the Oura ring, Whoop, Garmin, or Apple Watch. Those devices track certain aspects of HRV, but our clinical tools give a complete picture of how your child’s body responds to stress.

HRV measures how well the “gas pedal” (sympathetic) and “brake pedal” (parasympathetic) of the nervous system work together.

Healthy HRV looks like:

• Strong stress resilience

• Ability to calm after stimulation

• Better sleep

• Improved focus and emotional regulation

Low or dysregulated HRV shows:

• Chronic stress patterns

• Nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight

• Difficulty recovering or adapting to change

• Higher susceptibility to illness and burnout

A Custom Care Plan For Your Child

Here’s what makes this approach so meaningful for families: when we pair your child’s scans with their health history and your own insight as a parent, we get a clear, objective picture of what their nervous system truly needs.

No one-size-fits-all plans. No guessing. Just intentional, neurologically-focused care created specifically for your child.

What the Scan Experience Is Like

We know trying something new with your child can feel a little uncertain. Here's what you can expect at TFC:

At your first visit, our team will greet your family with warmth, snacks (because kids with full bellies make everything better), and a quick walk-through of our office so everyone feels at home.

The scan room is cozy, calm, and kid friendly. And the scans themselves are:

• Completely painless, with no needles or invasive procedures

• Fast, usually done within a few minutes

• Safe, with no radiation or harmful exposures

• Great for every age, from brand new babies to Mom and Dad

Most kids are actually excited to see their scans. Older ones especially love checking out the colorful images of their own nervous system. It turns a simple appointment into a moment of curiosity and empowerment.

Taking Charge of Your Child’s Health Starts With Clarity

You know your child better than anyone. You pick up on the little patterns, the tough moments, and the times when something feels off even if you can’t explain why.

But without clear information, it’s hard to know what’s actually going on or where to begin.

That’s where these scans make such a difference. They give you measurable, objective insight that confirms what your heart already knows and shows exactly where your child’s nervous system needs support. Instead of guessing or chasing symptoms, you finally get a starting point that leads to real change.

The Bottom Line

Whether your child is struggling with colic, recurring ear infections, ADHD, anxiety, sensory challenges, or you simply want them to optimize their health and development, it all connects back to the health of their nervous system. When the nervous system is calm and regulated, the body can rest, repair, and grow the way God designed it to.

These scans open a window into what’s happening beneath the surface. They guide your decisions. They help you create a path forward that’s rooted in understanding, not overwhelm.
