Understanding INSiGHT Scans in Kids: A Deeper Look Into the Nervous System
Many childhood health challenges - whether it's anxiety, sleep issues, developmental delays, or sensory struggles - can be traced back to how the nervous system is functioning. But how can we actually see what's going on beneath the surface?
That's where INSiGHT Scans come in. These non-invasive scans provide a clear, measurable way to evaluate how well a child's nervous system is working - without the need for X-rays or guesswork.
What Are INSiGHT Scans?
INSiGHT Scans are advanced tools that assess nervous system function through a series of gentle, painless scans. They measure how the brain and body are communicating, how well the spine is functioning, and how much stress or tension the nervous system may be under.
There are three main types of INSiGHT scans:
- Thermal Scan – measures temperature differences along the spine to detect nerve stress
- Surface Electromyography (sEMG) – evaluates muscle tone and energy output in spinal muscles
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – shows how well the body can adapt to stress and recover
Together, these scans help create a picture of how the nervous system is functioning - and where support is needed most.
How Chiropractic Can Help Kids Based on INSiGHT Scan Results
At Family Chiropractic Centre, we use INSiGHT Scans to guide personalized care for your child. The scans allow us to identify areas of tension or imbalance in the nervous system, which can be linked to many common issues like poor sleep, immune struggles, behavior challenges, or digestive problems.
Here's how chiropractic care can help:
- Reduces stress and interference in the nervous system
- Improves brain-body communication
- Supports better sleep, focus, mood, and physical development
- Helps track real progress with objective, measurable results
With the insight gained from these scans, we can tailor chiropractic adjustments specifically for your child - helping them function at their best, naturally. We take time to thoroughly explain the results and answer all your questions, just as you see in the image above where we're discussing care options with a family.
