How chiropractic can help the nervous system

"Fight-or-flight is a patterned reaction to stress"

Your nervous system is what connects your brain to your body. Poor communication between the two creates a disconnect within your body, causing pain and other symptoms. These symptoms can also be the manifestation of thoughts, traumas and toxins, especially when we lack the ability to adapt to our environment. Chiropractic care serves to restore the communication pathways throughout the body, improving your adaptability and helping you feel better, and our CLA Insight Scanning technology measures it!

What is nervous system scanning?

our technology

We use CLA™ Insight Scanning equipment, made by Chiropractic Leadership Alliance, the pioneers in practical diagnostic technology. This includes the three scans listed below.

we gather insight

We scan the nervous system to find the underlying cause of your symptoms. By measuring how well your nervous system is communicating information to and from the brain to your body, we find out why your body isn’t healing.

we personalize your care

Using the insight gathered from your scan paired with over a decade of experience, we design a plan to relieve your pain, heal your nervous and make you a happier YOU!

HEART RATE VARIABILITY​​

The pulse wave profiler helps the doctor determine your overall ability to adapt to the environment. This is our favorite of the CLA Insight Scanning tools! 

  • Looks at the timing of your pulse, determining the balance and tension within the nervous system.
  • A score within the green box on the graph is associated with better adaptability and relates to a healthy lifestyle.
  • Stressful lifestyles including poor dietary choices, limited exercise and constant emotional aggravation can cause the body to be caught in the “fight-flight” response. This can lead to exhaustion and a draining of a person’s reserves.
  • Low heart rate variability is associated with accelerated aging and poor heart health. Published research shows that chiropractic adjustments have a beneficial effect on heart rate variability.

BRAIN AND BODY COMMUNICATION​​

The thermal scan is used to assess the part of your nervous system that controls the organs, glands and blood vessels. The autonomic nervous system works along side the spinal nerves to regulate your immunity while managing your internal organ functions. 

  • Precisely measures temperature differences along the spine.
  • Indicates where stress is building up and how deeply it affects bodily functions.
  • Detects nerve interference. Each organ system relies on clear and balanced nerve signals to work efficiently.

MUSCLE TONE AND BALANCE​​

The CLA Insight surface EMG evaluates the function of the muscles that support and move your spine. These muscles are controlled by the nerves running within it. 

  • Measures how much energy is needed to maintain your posture and how it is distributed throughout the muscles. 
  • Illustrates how daily stress can overwork muscles, causing them to lose their strength and mobility. Muscle fatigue and poor energy distribution are signs of a person’s entire health being under stress. 
  • By precisely measuring muscle activity, your progress can be followed as your spine releases tension and you regain more control.
