At Abundance Chiropractic and Wellness, we believe in data-driven care. Rather than relying on assumptions or guesswork, we use advanced diagnostic technology to understand exactly what’s happening in your nervous system. That’s where the CLA Insight Scanner comes in.
What Is the CLA Insight Scanner?
The CLA Insight Scanner is a computerized, non-invasive, painless diagnostic tool that measures how your nervous system is responding to stress. It establishes a baseline measurement of your nervous system function across three key areas and provides objective data to guide your personalized care plan.
Think of it as a “nervous system health report” that tells us exactly what’s going on inside your body—without any guessing.
How Does It Work?
The CLA Insight Scanner uses three integrated technologies to create a complete picture of your nervous system:
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
This measures the variation in time between your heartbeats, which reflects your nervous system’s ability to adapt to stress. A healthy nervous system shows high variability—it can shift between the stressed state (sympathetic) and the relaxed state (parasympathetic) as needed.
What it reveals: Whether your body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode or able to access rest-and-digest.
Static Electromyography (sEMG)
This measures the electrical activity of the muscles that support your spine and maintain posture. By assessing this, we can identify muscular imbalances and areas where nerve interference is preventing proper muscle communication.
What it reveals: Whether your muscles are balanced and communicating properly with your nervous system.
Rolling Thermal Imaging
This takes precise infrared readings of your spine, detecting areas of abnormal temperature that indicate nerve interference. When a nerve is interfered with, it affects blood flow and temperature in that area.
What it reveals: Where in your spine there is nerve interference affecting organ and gland function.
The Three Categories of Stress
The CLA Insight Scanner also measures how your body is responding to three types of stress:
- Physical Trauma: Falls, auto accidents, sports injuries, repetitive strain, postural dysfunction
- Chemical Toxins: Poor nutrition, environmental toxins, medications, inflammatory substances
- Emotional Stress: Mental/emotional strain, relationship challenges, work pressures, life transitions
Most people experience some combination of all three. The scanner helps us identify which stressors are affecting your nervous system most.
Why We Use It
1. Objective Measurements
Instead of relying on what you tell us or what we observe, we have data. This eliminates guesswork and ensures your care plan is based on actual findings.
2. Early Detection
Many people have nervous system dysfunction without experiencing any symptoms yet. The CLA Insight Scanner catches these issues early, before they become painful problems.
3. Personalized Care
Everyone’s nervous system is unique. The scanner results guide us to create a care plan that targets YOUR specific nervous system needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
4. Progress Tracking
We can retake the scan periodically to objectively measure your improvement. You’ll see—not just feel—that your nervous system is getting better.
5. Safe for Everyone
The CLA Insight Scanner is completely non-invasive and painless. It’s safe for newborns through elderly patients.
What Happens Next
After your CLA Insight Scan, we review the results with you in detail. You’ll understand exactly what the data shows and how it relates to your health concerns. Then, we create a personalized care plan designed to restore proper nervous system function.
Many patients are amazed at how much the scan reveals. Things they thought were just “normal” or “part of aging” suddenly make sense when they see the data.
