If your child is struggling with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, or learning difficulties — and you’re looking for neuro intensive therapy for children in Minnesota — you’ve found the right place.
At North Lakes Chiropractic and Functional Neurology in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, Dr. Kolby Condos, DC, DACNB, has been helping children reach their neurological potential through dedicated neurointensive programs for over a decade. Families travel from the Twin Cities, Duluth, Rochester, and communities across Minnesota for our 1–2 week intensive programs — because this level of specialized, concentrated neurological care for children is one of the only options available in the state.
“The intensive format is what makes this approach different. Rather than brief weekly sessions where progress can stall between appointments, the concentrated daily treatment schedule allows your child’s nervous system to build on gains from one session to the next — creating momentum parents often notice within the first week.”
What Are Neuro Intensives for Children?
Neuro intensive therapy is a concentrated, short-term neurological rehabilitation program designed for children with developmental delays and neurological challenges. Instead of weekly appointments spread over months, children receive 1–2 hours of focused neurological therapy per day over a 1–2 week period, allowing faster progress and more consistent neurological stimulation.
At North Lakes Chiropractic, our neurointensive programs are led by Dr. Kolby Condos, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist (DACNB) with specialized training in pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders. Each program is personalized to your child’s specific neurological needs based on a comprehensive assessment of brain function, sensory processing, motor skills, and developmental benchmarks.
Dr. Condos has been offering neurointensive programs for over 10 years and has completed thousands of hours of post-doctoral education in functional neurology, pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders, concussion rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, and functional medicine.
What Conditions Do Neuro Intensives Help With?
Our approach recognizes that many conditions share overlapping neurological root causes. Rather than treating labels, Dr. Condos identifies the specific neurological systems that need support and builds a targeted treatment plan.
Developmental Delays
Delays in speech, motor skills, social development, or cognitive milestones. We identify which neurological systems are underdeveloped and provide targeted stimulation to support catch-up development.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Sensory sensitivities, communication challenges, repetitive behaviors, and social difficulties. We address underlying neurological patterns through vestibular therapy, vision therapy, and primitive reflex remediation.
ADHD & Attention Challenges
Focus difficulties, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and behavioral regulation. Our non-medication approach targets the root neurological dysfunction rather than managing symptoms.
Sensory Processing Disorder
Over-sensitivity or under-sensitivity to sensory input, sensory meltdowns, difficulty with textures, sounds, or environments. We recalibrate how your child’s nervous system processes sensory information.
Learning Delays & Difficulties
Trouble with reading, writing, math, or retaining information. Many learning challenges have a neurological basis that can be addressed through targeted therapy.
Coordination & Motor Challenges
Delayed motor milestones, clumsiness, poor balance, and difficulty with fine or gross motor tasks.
Concussion & TBI
Post-concussion symptoms, headaches, dizziness, cognitive fog, and balance problems in children and adults.
Vertigo & Dizziness
Vestibular dysfunction causing vertigo, dizziness, and balance disorders.
Treatment Approaches in Our Programs
Each session combines multiple approaches based on your child’s specific needs. The treatment plan is adjusted throughout the program as Dr. Condos monitors your child’s response and progress.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy stimulates cellular repair and neurological function, supporting brain-based healing and reducing inflammation.
Vestibular Therapy
Targeted exercises that stimulate the vestibular system, improving balance, spatial awareness, and movement processing.
Vision Therapy
Neurological exercises improving how the brain processes visual information — affecting reading, coordination, and attention.
Primitive Reflex Remediation
Identifying and integrating retained reflexes that interfere with motor development, sensory processing, attention, and learning.
Proprioceptive Therapy
Targeting the body’s sense of position and movement to improve coordination, body awareness, and sensory regulation.
Somatosensory Evoked Potential
Advanced assessment and stimulation techniques evaluating how the nervous system processes sensory information.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Targeted stimulation of specific nerves to improve neurological signaling and function.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle, specific spinal adjustments supporting nervous system function and removing structural interference.
What Does a Neuro Intensive Program Look Like?
A typical program runs 1–2 weeks with daily sessions lasting 1–2 hours, based on your child’s age and tolerance. Here’s what to expect:
Comprehensive Assessment
Dr. Condos performs a detailed neurological evaluation — testing brain function, sensory processing, motor skills, vestibular function, visual processing, and primitive reflex status. This creates the roadmap for your child’s program.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, Dr. Condos designs a treatment plan targeting your child’s specific neurological needs. No two programs are identical — every child receives care tailored to their challenges and goals.
Daily Intensive Sessions
Your child receives 1–2 hours of focused therapy each day for 1–2 weeks — combining laser therapy, vestibular therapy, vision therapy, primitive reflex exercises, proprioceptive therapy, and chiropractic adjustments based on their needs.
Ongoing Monitoring
Dr. Condos monitors your child’s response throughout and adjusts the plan as needed. The intensive format allows daily observation and rapid adaptation.
Progress Evaluation & Home Care
At the end of the program, Dr. Condos evaluates progress and provides home exercises and recommendations to continue supporting neurological development. Many families return every 3–6 months for follow-up intensives.
What Results Can Parents Expect?
While every child responds differently, many families notice meaningful changes during the 1–2 week program itself, with continued improvement in the weeks and months following treatment.
Neurointensive therapy is not a cure and results vary by child. What we consistently see is meaningful, measurable progress — and a foundation for continued development long after the program ends.
Questions Parents Are Asking
My Child Isn’t Hitting Milestones — Can Neuro Intensives Help?
If your child isn’t hitting developmental milestones — not talking when other kids their age are, not walking on time, struggling with coordination, or falling behind socially — you’re not alone. Developmental milestones reflect the maturation of your child’s nervous system, and when a child misses them, it often means specific areas of the brain need additional stimulation and support.
Our neurointensive program identifies exactly which neurological systems are delayed and provides targeted, concentrated therapy. Treatment is generally more efficient in younger children because their nervous systems are more adaptable — but we work with children of all ages.
Call (218) 999-7006 to schedule an assessment →Are There Non-Medication Options for My Child’s ADHD?
Yes. Our program offers a completely non-medication approach that identifies and treats the underlying neurological dysfunction — retained primitive reflexes, vestibular dysfunction, or visual processing problems — rather than masking symptoms with medication.
This doesn’t mean medication is wrong for every child. But if you’re looking for a non-medication option or want to address the root cause, our program provides that path. For some families, this reduces or eliminates the need for medications. For others, it complements their existing treatment plan.

Sensory meltdowns happen when your child’s nervous system becomes overwhelmed by input it can’t process effectively. Through vestibular therapy, proprioceptive therapy, primitive reflex remediation, and other targeted approaches, we help your child’s brain develop better sensory regulation.
The intensive format — 1–2 hours daily for 1–2 weeks — provides the concentrated stimulation needed to drive real change in how the nervous system processes sensory input.

If you’ve been through occupational therapy, speech therapy, behavioral therapy, and medication with limited results — our program takes a different approach. What families often discover is that their child has retained primitive reflexes, vestibular dysfunction, or visual processing problems that were never identified — and these underlying issues were preventing other therapies from being effective.
Our intensive format delivers more focused neurological therapy in 1–2 weeks than many children receive in months of weekly appointments.
