INSiGHT™
Scans of how your teen’s nervous system is adapting
$105
Your teen’s first visit, then $49 a visit to age 16
Study, sport and growing bodies
Stress is a normal part of life. The teenage years just stack it up, often all at once, and when there’s less capacity to recover, teens start to struggle.
- 01
Physical stress
Posture, sport and injuries, heavy school bags, and hours on devices.
- 02
Chemical stress
Hormonal changes, food, sleep, and what goes on their skin.
- 03
Emotional stress
Exams, friendships, family changes and everyday worries.
- 04
What parents notice
Low energy or changeable moods, poor sleep, neck and shoulder tension from devices, headaches, a knock to the head from sport, or slow recovery from injury or illness.
7 signs your teen may not be thriving
Care focuses on how well your teen’s nervous system adapts to that load, and how well they recover from it.
Growth spurts change how teens move and sit, and sport adds knocks, sprains and the occasional heavy landing. We check how their spine and nervous system are coping with it all and, if an injury came from an accident, lodge the ACC claim for you.
How we measure it
Seeing how your teen handles stress
INSiGHT™ scans look at three things: small temperature differences along the spine, the muscle activity on either side of it and heart-rate variability, which shows how easily the body shifts between stress and rest. Together they give a picture of how your teen is adapting to everything on their plate.
Then we explain it to you both, in plain language. We re-check at set points, so you can both see how they’re tracking.
About INSiGHT™ scansYour teen’s first visit
The first visit takes 30 minutes and costs $105: a conversation with you and your teen, a full assessment, and time for you both to ask questions.
- 01
The conversation
School, sport, sleep, screens and anything else on their plate.
- 02
Chiropractic assessment
A check of their spine, posture and nervous system.
- 03
A deeper understanding

Your questions answered
Time for you both to ask anything.
We don’t adjust on the first visit. At the second visit we explain what we found and recommend a care plan, and if it makes sense to you both, care starts that day. Visits after that are $49 up to and including age 16, and $60 from age 17.
What happens after your first visitOur team is passionate about helping families feel their best, naturally, right through the teenage years. We see health as more than the absence of pain: it is how well your body functions every day. Ash and Dean both come from sport, Dean from basketball, cricket and tennis, so training loads and injuries are familiar ground. Every chiropractor here sees teenagers.

Questions about chiropractic for teens
Reception can help with anything else.
-
Yes. We adapt every check and adjustment to your teen’s age, size and comfort.
-
It doesn’t have to. We have gentle methods that avoid the cracking noise, and we’ll use whichever suits your teen.
-
We check how your teen’s spine and nervous system are recovering. If the injury came from an accident, ACC can cover part of the cost of care, and we lodge the claim.
-
More often at the start while they build momentum, then less once they reach their goals. We re-check as they go.
-
No. You can book directly.
-
From 16, yes. Younger teens come with a parent or caregiver, who stays for the visit.
-
The first visit is $105, then $49 a visit up to and including age 16, and $60 from age 17.
All fees and payment options Yes. We open from 7am Monday to Wednesday and Friday, and until 7:30pm on Monday and Thursday, so visits can fit before school or after training.
