Understanding INSiGHT Scans in Pediatric Chiropractic Care

Introduction to the Central Nervous System

The Central Nervous System (CNS) serves as the body’s primary control center, coordinating all bodily functions, movements, thoughts, emotions, and cognitive processes. It consists of three main divisions: Sensory, Autonomic, and Motor. These systems work together to maintain essential functions and respond to both internal and external stimuli.

INSiGHT Scanning Technology

INSiGHT Scans are advanced diagnostic tools used in pediatric chiropractic care to assess CNS function. Unlike traditional medical approaches that focus primarily on symptoms and standard testing, these scans evaluate the functional aspects of the nervous system.

The Three Core Scans

1. NeuroThermal Scans

• Evaluates regional effects of subluxation and dysautonomia
• Particularly useful for assessing digestive, immune, and hormonal system function
• Can be performed on patients of any age, from newborns to adults
• Helps identify patterns related to conditions such as colic, reflux, and sleep disorders

2. Neurospinal EMG Scans

These scans are crucial for evaluating neurodevelopmental conditions, including:

• Autism spectrum disorders
• Sensory integration challenges
• ADHD
• Anxiety

Common patterns include:

• “Raging Bull”: Indicates sympathetic dominance
• “Drunken Bull”: Shows coordination and focus challenges
• “Raging Drunken Bull”: Combined pattern of both

3. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Scans

These scans assess overall neurological health by measuring:

• Autonomic nervous system balance
• Adaptability and resilience
• Stress response patterns
• Recovery capacity
