our nervous system scans
At Abide Fayette, we utilize cutting-edge technology to assess each practice member and pinpoint the root cause of their health concerns. The CLA INSiGHT Scans provide a reliable and scientifically valid representation of a person's nervous system and overall health.
This technology is significant on multiple levels. It allows us to:
1. Analyze a person's condition with greater accuracy
2. Communicate our findings more effectively
3. Enable both Dr. Chelsea and the practice member to track the progress and effectiveness of their care at Abide Fayette
The CLA INSiGHT Scans give us a comprehensive view of your nervous system's function, allowing for more precise and personalized care. This advanced technology aligns perfectly with our mission to help you and your family achieve optimal health by addressing the root cause of health issues, not just the symptoms.
By incorporating these scans into our practice, we're able to provide you with objective data about your nervous system's performance, helping you understand your body's needs and the impact of your chiropractic care more clearly.
Below are a few samples of the components of the CLA INSiGHT Scans
We use the CORESCORE as part of our INSiGHT scans. This single number, ranging from 0-100, represents your overall nervous system efficiency. It combines data from heart rate variability, muscle tension, and spinal temperature scans. Dr. Chelsea uses this score to:
1. Assess your current nervous system function
2. Track your progress over time
3. Guide your personalized care plan
A higher CORESCORE indicates better nervous system performance. This simple metric helps us communicate complex information about your health and the effectiveness of your care at Abide Fayette.
Thermal:
The Thermal Scanner measures the temperature on both sides of your spine. This temperature is controlled by your autonomic nervous system - the part of your nervous system that operates unconsciously, managing functions like heart rate, breathing, and organ function.
Research from Johns Hopkins University has shown that in a healthy state, the body temperature should be the same on both the left and right sides of your spine. When we detect a temperature difference, it indicates stress on your autonomic nerves, which we call a subluxation.
This valuable test allows Dr. Chelsea to:
1. Identify areas of nervous system stress
2. Determine which organs might be affected by this stress
3. Assess the severity of the stress on your nervous system
By using the Thermal Scan, we can pinpoint exactly where your body is experiencing interference in its normal function. This helps us create a more targeted and effective care plan, addressing the root cause of your health concerns rather than just treating symptoms.
The Thermal Scan is just one of the ways we at Abide Fayette use technology to provide you with the most precise and personalized chiropractic care possible, supporting your journey to optimal health and wellness.
Surface Electromyography (sEMG):
At Abide Fayette, we understand the critical role energy efficiency plays in your overall health. The Surface EMG scan, based on Nobel Prize-winning research, focuses on how your body uses energy to maintain posture and movement against gravity.
Dr. Chelsea uses Surface Electromyography (sEMG) to measure your neuromuscular energy efficiency. This helps us:
1. Identify areas of muscle tension and energy waste
2. Detect spinal imbalances and subluxations
3. Assess how stress affects your nervous system
The sEMG scan produces a graph showing energy distribution along your spine. Ideally, we look for symmetrical patterns close to the normal range. Deviations can indicate:
- Overactive muscles (energy waste)
- Underactive muscles (potential exhaustion)
- Asymmetries (spinal imbalance)
We calculate three key scores:
- Total Energy: Overall neuromuscular energy expenditure
- Pattern Score: Efficiency of energy distribution
- Symmetry Score: Balance of energy use on both sides
This information guides Dr. Chelsea in creating a personalized care plan to improve your energy efficiency, reduce exhaustion, and optimize your nervous system function. Our goal is to help you achieve better health and vitality through more efficient energy use in your body.
Reserve (Heart Rate Variability):
At Abide Fayette, we recognize that your body's ability to self-heal and self-regulate is controlled by your nervous system. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) scanning is also a part of our scans to assess your nervous system's adaptive capacity and stress resilience.
Here's how we use HRV as part of our INSiGHT scans:
1. We measure the intervals between your heartbeats using our neuropulse unit.
2. This data helps us calculate your HRV score, indicating your autonomic nervous system's balance and activity.
3. Your HRV score shows us how much "reserve" your body has to handle daily stressors.
On your HRV graph:
- The green zone represents optimal autonomic balance.
- Scoring in this zone indicates good stress adaptation and overall health.
- Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain a score in this green zone.
Dr. Chelsea uses this information to:
- Assess your current stress resilience
- Track improvements in your nervous system function
- Guide your personalized care plan at Abide Fayette
By focusing on improving your HRV, we aim to enhance your body's ability to adapt to stress, promoting better overall health and wellness. This approach aligns with our mission at Abide Fayette to optimize your nervous system function and support your body's natural healing abilities.
