INSiGHT Scans in Mansfield
Do you know how healthy your little one’s nervous system is? Most parents don’t, which is why we use the INSiGHT Scans at Rooted Wellness Chiropractic. Also known as CLA or Synapse Scans, these offer a safe and noninvasive way to evaluate your little one’s nervous system and spine health.
Using advanced technology, the scans help us identify areas of imbalance or dysfunction, giving Dr. Sarah a clearer picture of your child’s overall well-being.
“When your kiddo’s system is stressed, it will show up in the scans and help us to get to the root of the problem,” she says.
The Three Scans
Here’s a look at the three key scans our chiropractor uses to evaluate your child’s nervous system health:
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Measures the balance between their sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) systems.
- Surface EMG: Pinpoints nervous system output variances along the spine, showing where adjustments may be needed.
- Thermal Scan: Detects specific areas of the spine requiring attention, aiding in precise care.
Assessing the Autonomic Nervous System
Part of the sympathetic nervous system, the fight-or-flight system, prepares your body to respond to stress. If you’re being chased by a bear, for example, you want this system to kick in. In contrast, the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as rest-and-digest, helps you relax and recover.
INSiGHT Scans use HRV measurements to check how well your child’s autonomic nervous system is working, giving us valuable insights into how balanced these systems are. When these are out of balance, it can show up as chronic stress, anxiety, or other health challenges.
Why Is This Technology Important?
INSiGHT Scans give us an objective way to monitor your child’s health. For example, just like an X-ray confirms a healed bone, these scans track their progress after treatments.
By addressing the root causes—subluxation and dysautonomia (when the brain and body are not connecting and communicating well)—your child can experience lasting relief from many conditions and issues. These include ADHD, sensory processing issues, or colic, and enjoy improved overall health and wellness.
We can also track changes in your kiddo’s health over time.
“We can see where your child is today versus where they are after 12 visits and where your little one is at the end of their care plan,” says Dr. Sarah.
