How We Treat Children in Sandy, UT
Comprehensive Consultation and Exam
What is this process like at White Bison Well-Being?
• We start with a relaxed, no pressure conversation so I can hear your child's story, what their discomfort looks like at home, and what you have already tried. From there we move into a gentle, age appropriate exam, including posture analysis, reflex and neurological testing, and a full spinal assessment.
Why is it important to get to the root cause of the problem?
• Masking a child's discomfort with medication does not fix what is actually happening underneath. Finding the real root, usually a subluxation or a breakdown in brain to body communication, lets your child's body do the healing instead of just managing symptoms.
Brain Based Chiropractic Care in Sandy, UT
What is a subluxation and how can it relate to a child's discomfort?
• A subluxation is a brain to body communication problem, a stuck or misaligned vertebra that interferes with nerve signals. This interference creates muscle tension, compensation patterns, and nervous system stress that can feed directly into a child's discomfort.
How can brain based adjustments benefit a child?
• Gentle, specific adjustments clear the nerve static, reduce muscle guarding, and restore proper communication between the brain and body. Pediatric adjustments use very light pressure, often about the pressure you would use to test a ripe tomato.
What makes brain based chiropractic different from the conventional treatment model?
• Conventional care usually hands you medication to quiet the symptom. Brain based chiropractic finds and corrects the actual interference driving your child's discomfort, so the goal is resolution, not management.
Nerve Point Reset
What is Nerve Point Reset?
• Nerve Point Reset uses specific TTAPS points, a system developed by Dr. Alan Bonebrake, to calm the nervous system and release the protective guarding patterns the body holds onto.
How does it help children?
• By calming an overactive nervous system, Nerve Point Reset helps your child's body come out of protection mode. It is gentle and non invasive, which makes it a great fit for kids.
BioCharger Therapy
What is the BioCharger?
• The BioCharger is a therapy platform that uses light, frequency, and vibration to support the body's natural energy and recovery systems, creating a better internal environment for healing to take place.
How does it support children?
• When appropriate for your child's age, it is used as part of the broader care plan to support recovery capacity, helping the rest of their care hold and build on itself between visits.
Qest4 Scans
What is a Qest4 scan?
• The Qest4 is a bioenergetic scanning tool we use to check for chemical and environmental stressors that may be quietly slowing down the body's ability to heal.
Why does this matter for children?
• Kids are exposed to foods, environments, and stressors that add up. If your child's system is dealing with underlying chemical stress, healing becomes an uphill battle no matter how good the mechanical care is. The scan helps us see what else may need to be addressed.
Rapid Regen: Our Three-Layer Soft Tissue Protocol
What is Rapid Regen?
• Rapid Regen is our three-layer soft tissue protocol built around one idea: one tool gives you a partial fix, but three layers working in sequence give you real regeneration. We spark the cells, ignite the reset, and fuel the results.
What happens in each layer?
• Spark uses EMTT with 808 nanometer red light to prime cells and tissue so they are ready to heal. Ignite uses radial ShockWave to mechanically break down scar tissue and adhesions, forcing the body to actively rebuild. Fuel uses Class 4 laser to flood the area with blood flow and nutrients, locking in the healing and structuring new tissue.
Who is Rapid Regen for?
• Rapid Regen is reserved for teens and young athletes with soft tissue injuries, and is only used when appropriate for their age and never over growing areas of bone. For younger children, we rely on gentle adjustments and Nerve Point Reset.
Home Therapies
What happens between visits?
• We build a simple, family friendly home plan for your child, which may include posture and movement activities, sleep and screen time tips, backpack recommendations, DNA Vibe wearable therapy when appropriate, and nutritional recommendations.
Why does the plan look different for every child?
• A newborn, a second grader, and a high school athlete have very different needs, so your child's home plan is built around what their exam and history actually show, not a generic handout.
Common Causes of Pain in Children
Colic and Fussy Babies
Why is it so common in infants?
• The birth process, especially a long labor, a fast delivery, or the use of forceps or vacuum, can put stress on a baby's neck and spine, leaving them uncomfortable and hard to settle.
What techniques do you use to relieve it?
• Very gentle, fingertip pressure adjustments to release tension in the neck and spine. Many parents report their baby seems calmer and more comfortable after care.
Head Tilt, Torticollis, and Flat Spots
What does it look like?
• A baby who always turns their head to one side, struggles to nurse on one side, or develops a flat spot on the back or side of the head.
What techniques do you use to relieve it?
• Gentle neck adjustments to restore motion, along with positioning, tummy time, and stretching tips for parents. We work alongside your pediatrician when needed.
Poor Posture and Tech Neck
Why is this common in kids today?
• Hours on tablets, phones, and games, combined with heavy backpacks, pull the head forward and round the shoulders while the spine is still developing.
How can chiropractic care help?
• Gentle adjustments, posture exercises, and practical screen time and backpack tips help kids build healthy habits early.
Headaches
What causes headaches in children?
• Neck tension, poor posture, screen time, dehydration, poor sleep, and stress at school, along with subluxations in the upper neck that irritate nerves going to the head.
How can chiropractic care help?
• Gentle upper neck adjustments improve nerve communication and reduce muscle tension. Any sudden, severe, or unusual headaches are always referred to your pediatrician first.
Youth Sports Injuries
Why are they so common?
• Kids are playing more sports, often year round, with repeated stress on growing joints. Falls, collisions, and overuse are common causes of pain.
What is the chiropractic solution?
• Gentle adjustments to restore proper motion, movement checks to spot imbalances, and age appropriate strengthening and recovery tips to keep them in the game safely.
Growing Pains
What does it feel like?
• Aching in the legs, usually the thighs, calves, or behind the knees, often in the evening or at night after an active day.
How can chiropractic care help?
• We check the pelvis, hips, and legs for imbalances, then use gentle adjustments and simple stretches to help growing bodies stay comfortable.
Backpack Related Back Pain
What causes it in children?
• Heavy backpacks, especially when worn on one shoulder, pull the spine out of balance and strain the muscles of the back and shoulders.
How can it be prevented?
• Keep the backpack under about 10 to 15 percent of your child's body weight, use both straps, and pack the heaviest items closest to the back. Gentle adjustments help keep the spine balanced.
Trouble Sleeping
What are the causes?
• Discomfort, an overstimulated nervous system, screen time before bed, and stress can all make it hard for kids to fall and stay asleep.
What is the chiropractic solution?
• Gentle adjustments and Nerve Point Reset help calm the nervous system, and many parents report their child sleeps more soundly as care progresses.
Focus and Settling Challenges
Why is this a concern?
• A nervous system stuck in a stressed, high alert state can make it harder for kids to focus, sit still, and handle everyday stimulation.
What techniques help?
• Our Stress Response Evaluation shows how your child's nervous system is handling stress. Brain based care then works to calm and balance the nervous system as part of a team approach with your child's other providers.
