CLA INSiGHT Scans: A Window Into Your Nervous System Health
What Are CLA INSiGHT Scans?
CLA INSiGHT scans are cutting-edge, non-invasive technology designed to measure and analyze the health of your nervous system. These state-of-the-art tools provide a clear and comprehensive picture of how your nervous system is functioning, helping us detect hidden stressors and imbalances that may be affecting your overall health and well-being.
How Do They Work?
The CLA INSiGHT system combines three advanced scans to create a detailed profile of your nervous system health:
Thermal Scan: Measures temperature variations along your spine to detect areas of nerve disturbance.
Surface Electromyography (sEMG): Assesses muscle activity and how well your muscles are supporting your spine.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Evaluates your body’s ability to adapt to stress and recover, providing a snapshot of your overall resilience.
The Benefits of INSiGHT Scans
These scans are essential for creating a care plan that is as unique as you are. By utilizing this technology, we can:
Identify hidden stressors that may be impacting your nervous system.
Track your progress over time with clear, objective data.
Personalize your care to address specific areas of need.
Maximize the effectiveness of your chiropractic adjustments.
Safe, Comfortable, and Insightful
CLA INSiGHT scans are completely safe, non-invasive, and suitable for all ages—from newborns to adults. These quick, pain-free scans allow us to gather critical information without any risk or discomfort.
Detailed Overview of Each CLA INSiGHT Scan
The CLA INSiGHT Scans consist of three advanced, non-invasive technologies that work together to provide a comprehensive analysis of your nervous system health. Each scan focuses on a specific aspect of nervous system function, allowing us to pinpoint areas of stress and guide your care with precision.
Thermal Scan
What It Does:
The Thermal Scan measures temperature variations along your spine. These variations can indicate areas of nerve disturbance, where the nervous system is struggling to regulate essential functions.
Why It’s Important:
Your nervous system regulates blood flow and temperature to maintain balance in the body. When under stress, nerve function can become disrupted, leading to abnormal temperature patterns in surrounding tissues. This scan helps us assess areas of neurological imbalance and dysfunction, identifying how stress may be impacting your body's ability to regulate and heal.
What You’ll Learn:
The Thermal Scan provides a visual map of your spine, highlighting imbalances that may be affecting your body’s ability to heal and function. This information is particularly useful for detecting stress in critical areas like the vagus nerve, which influences digestion, heart rate, and emotional regulation.
Surface Electromyography (sEMG)
What It Does:
The Surface Electromyography (sEMG) scan assesses the activity of the muscles along your spine, measuring the electrical signals they produce as they work to support your posture and movements. This scan helps us identify how well your motor system is functioning and whether your nervous system is effectively coordinating muscle activity.
Why It’s Important:
The nervous system communicates with your muscles to maintain balance, posture, and movement. When the nervous system is under stress or there is dysfunction in the communication pathways (e.g., due to subluxations or other factors), muscles may overcompensate, underperform, or develop imbalances. These compensations can lead to discomfort, fatigue, or strain on your body’s overall structure and function. Additionally, the sEMG scan helps evaluate how well your body’s proprioception—its sense of position and movement—is being managed by the nervous system.
What You’ll Learn:
The sEMG scan provides a detailed view of how your muscles are working to support your spine and posture. It helps pinpoint areas where your motor system may be under strain or stress, and how your nervous system is adapting (or struggling to adapt) to these demands. This information is particularly valuable for understanding conditions like muscle tension, postural imbalances, or fatigue, which often result from nervous system stress.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
What It Does:
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures the variation in time between your heartbeats, providing an indicator of your body’s ability to adapt to stress and recover.
Why It’s Important
HRV is a key measure of resilience. A higher HRV indicates that your nervous system is flexible and capable of switching between "fight-or-flight" (sympathetic) and "rest-and-digest" (parasympathetic) states. A lower HRV may suggest that your nervous system is stuck in a stress response, which can contribute to fatigue, anxiety, or immune dysfunction.
What You’ll Learn
The HRV scan gives us insight into your body’s overall adaptability and resilience. It’s a critical tool for evaluating how chronic stress may be impacting your health and for tracking your progress as your nervous system becomes more balanced through care
How These Scans Work Together
Each scan provides unique data, but together, they create a complete picture of your nervous system’s health:
Thermal Scan: Identifies nerve disturbances.
sEMG Scan: Shows how your muscles are compensating for stress.
HRV Scan: Measures your body’s resilience to stress.
By combining these results, we can create a customized care plan that targets the root causes of your challenges and supports your overall well-being.
Empowering You With Knowledge
We believe in transparency and empowering our patients with knowledge about their health. CLA INSiGHT scans help us explain what’s happening inside your body and show you how chiropractic care can support your nervous system’s function. With this technology, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your health journey and the tangible benefits of your care.
