INSIGHT Scans are advanced, non-invasive assessments designed to evaluate how well your nervous system is functioning. These scans go beyond traditional tests—they measure the balance, communication, and tension in your central and autonomic nervous system in real time. By offering an objective window into nerve activity, INSIGHT Scans can uncover hidden imbalances long before symptoms become obvious.
Why the Nervous System Matters
Think of your nervous system as the body’s air traffic control—it coordinates every movement, thought, digestion, emotion, immune response, and much more. It includes:
● Sensory nerves: Sending messages from your body to your brain
● Motor nerves: Sending commands from your brain to your body
● Autonomic regulation: Handling automatic processes like breathing, digestion, heart rate, sleep, and stress recovery
When this network is disrupted—through stress, birth trauma, illness, or environmental factors—subtle dysfunctions like subluxations or dysautonomia can develop. Over time, these dysregulations may lead to common challenges like colic, anxiety, sleep issues, sensory sensitivities, attention difficulties, and more.
The Three Scans Explained
INSIGHT consists of three key assessments:
- NeuroThermal Scan
Uses infrared thermography and heart-rate variability to detect autonomic imbalances and tension along the spine. It highlights regions of sympathetic (fight-or-flight) dominance or chronic nervous system stress, even before symptoms present. - Surface EMG (sEMG) Scan
Measures the electrical activity in spinal muscles, revealing stuck tension patterns, tone imbalances, and neuromotor dysfunction. This scan is particularly insightful when assessing motor control, coordination, developmental delays, sensory integration, or neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and autism. - Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Analysis
Assesses how well your autonomic nervous system adapts to stress by tracking the balance between your sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. A balanced HRV is crucial for resilience, stress management, digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation.
What INSIGHT Scans Reveal
● Degree of imbalance: mild, moderate, or severe signs of stress in your nervous system
● Location of dysfunction using something called the “Neuro Fuse Box Chart”
● Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic balance, even before physical symptoms show up
● Neuromuscular tension and coordination, indicating where the communication between brain and body may be off
You’ll receive clear visual maps and reports showing exactly what your scans mean, how they
relate to your health, and how they can guide a personalized care plan.
Why Scans Change Before Symptoms
Neurological improvement often begins beneath the surface. INSIGHT Scans detect subtle shifts in nerve communication before symptoms improve—you might see scan progress while symptoms still linger. Sometimes, symptom intensity temporarily increases—signs of the nervous system “resetting” as it rebalances . This pattern of “two steps forward, one step back” is perfectly normal during deep, lasting healing.
