What Blood Work and MRIs Can't Detect About Your Child's Health

Screenshot 2025-08-11 113914

Has your child been through countless doctor visits, blood tests, maybe even MRIs, but you’re still left wondering what’s really behind their ongoing health struggles? You’re told everything looks “normal,” yet your child still faces challenges like trouble sleeping, digestive issues, behavior concerns, or delays in development.

Maybe your pediatrician says, “They’ll grow out of it,” or suggests another medication to manage symptoms — leaving you feeling frustrated, unheard, and searching for answers that truly make sense.

You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not wrong. There’s a key piece often missing from the typical healthcare approach—an evaluation that can uncover the root cause of your child’s struggles: their nervous system.

Why Traditional Tests Can Miss the Root Cause

Standard tests like blood work, MRIs, and EEGs look for obvious problems. But many times, these come back normal even when a child clearly isn’t thriving. That’s because these tests don’t assess the nervous system—the control center that regulates everything in the body.

As cell biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton says,
“The function of the nervous system is to perceive the environment and coordinate the function of all other cells.”

In other words, while you may have tried therapies for gut health, immune support, or behavior, the nervous system is the common thread connecting all those systems—and it often gets overlooked.

Your Child’s Nervous System Is Like Their Body’s “Air Traffic Control”

Imagine your child’s nervous system as the air traffic controller for every function in their body—movement, digestion, immune response, emotions, and even how they think and learn. If the nervous system is stressed or not working well, it affects everything else.

During the first few years of life—when their brain grows rapidly—supporting and assessing nervous system function is one of the most important steps you can take for your child’s health.

The Three Scans That Reveal What Others Can’t

At Foundation of Stone Pediatric & Perinatal Family Chiropractic, we use safe, non-invasive INSiGHT scans to get a clear picture of your child’s nervous system function:

  1. NeuroThermal Scan
    This scan shows how nervous system stress affects digestion, immune function, hormones, and sleep—helping explain issues like colic, reflux, constipation, ear infections, and allergies that often seem unrelated but are connected through nervous system function.

  2. NeuroSpinal EMG Scan
    This helps identify how the nervous system controls movement and coordination, providing insight into challenges like ADHD, sensory processing issues, anxiety, and developmental delays.

  3. Heart Rate Variability Scan
    This measures how well your child’s nervous system adapts to stress and change, showing if they are stuck in chronic stress or able to respond and recover naturally.

Why Kids Don’t Just “Grow Out Of” These Challenges

These scans reveal why many early struggles don’t simply disappear—they often evolve into more complex conditions as children grow. Nervous system imbalances can cause:

  • Stuck stress and tension in the body

  • Poor coordination and balance

  • General disorganization and dysfunction in how the body operates

Understanding these patterns allows us to create personalized care plans focused on supporting your child’s nervous system—not just managing symptoms.
