Our Care & Services
See how our step-by-step process helps working adults and families get answers and results. We start with a detailed consultation and INSIGHT scans, then build a personalized plan that fits your goals, schedule, and stage of life.
What To Expect At River City Wellness
At River City Wellness in Austin, we know that stress, pain, and health challenges can affect the entire family — from adults dealing with chronic tension, fatigue, or sleep struggles, to kids facing sensory, focus, or developmental challenges. That’s why our approach goes beyond temporary relief and gets to the root cause: the nervous system.
Your first visit is all about understanding your story. We’ll take time to listen, learn about your health history, and discuss your goals. Using advanced INSiGHT™ scans, we’ll measure how well your nervous system is functioning and see where stress may be interfering with your body’s ability to heal and adapt. From there, we’ll create a clear, personalized plan of care tailored to you or your child.
Every step of the process is designed to give you answers, hope, and a sense of direction. Whether you’re here to improve your own health or to help your child thrive, you’ll find a safe, supportive environment where healing begins from the inside out.
The RCW Process: How We Care for Your Family
At River City Wellness, our process is designed to uncover the root causes of stress in the nervous system and create a clear path toward healing. Whether you’re bringing in your child, preparing for birth, or working through your own health challenges as an adult, this step-by-step approach helps us deliver care that’s personalized and effective for your whole family.
Step 1 - Consultation
Your first step is a one-on-one consultation with one of our doctors. This is where we take the time to really listen and learn your story. For kids, that means diving into their health history and developmental milestones. For adults, we’ll explore stress, sleep, lifestyle, or chronic issues that may be impacting quality of life. Expecting moms will find this step especially supportive as we discuss how pregnancy changes the body and nervous system.
Families often share that after this first step, they feel relieved and hopeful—it’s often the first time they’ve felt fully heard and started to understand why challenges are happening in the first place.
Step 2: INSiGHT Scans
Next, we use INSiGHT scans to get a clear, objective look at how the nervous system is functioning. These gentle, non-invasive scans measure how much stress and tension are stored in the body’s control center—the autonomic nervous system.
We’re specifically looking for:
- Subluxation – misalignments creating stress on the nervous system
- Dysautonomia – when the nervous system loses adaptability and balance
- Vagus nerve dysfunction – often tied to digestion, sleep, mood, and immune function
For children, this helps explain things like sleep struggles, focus issues, or immune challenges. For adults, it connects directly to things like stress, fatigue, chronic tension, or migraines. For moms-to-be, it shows how the body is adapting to pregnancy and preparing for birth.
Step 3: Personalized Care Plan
Using your health history, exam results, and INSiGHT scans, we build a fully customized Care Plan. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all recommendation—it’s tailored to your stage of life, lifestyle, and goals.
- For kids: frequency and duration of care matched to their unique developmental needs.
- For adults: a plan that fits into busy schedules while addressing chronic stress or health challenges.
- For pregnancy: care designed to ease discomfort, support alignment, and prepare the body for birth.
Step 4: Report of Findings
Using your health history, exam results, and INSiGHT scans, we build a fully customized Care Plan. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all recommendation—it’s tailored to your stage of life, lifestyle, and goals.
- For kids: frequency and duration of care matched to their unique developmental needs.
- For adults: a plan that fits into busy schedules while addressing chronic stress or health challenges.
- For pregnancy: care designed to ease discomfort, support alignment, and prepare the body for birth.
Step 5: Gentle Adjustments
The final step is beginning care with safe, specific chiropractic adjustments. Our adjustments are gentle for infants and kids, supportive and balancing for pregnancy, and effective for adults dealing with stress and pain.
The goal is the same for everyone: to release tension, restore adaptability, and get the nervous system functioning at its best. Families often notice better sleep, calmer moods, more energy, fewer aches and pains, and a stronger sense of connection as care progresses.
At RCW, every adjustment builds on the last, helping your entire family move toward a life that’s calm, connected, and adaptable.
