INSiGHT Scans Explained: How Haven Family Chiropractic Measures Nervous System Stress in Katy, TX
Dr. John Caruso
Stop Guessing. Start Measuring.
Symptoms are unreliable. Kids can be dysregulated long before they melt down. Adults can be running on empty long before burnout hits. That is why every new patient at Haven Family Chiropractic in Katy, TX begins with INSiGHT scans — three objective, radiation-free measurements of the nervous system.
Scan 1: Neurothermal (Autonomic Balance)
This scan measures tiny temperature differences along the spine to reveal how your autonomic nervous system is functioning — specifically the balance between "fight or flight" (sympathetic) and "rest and digest" (parasympathetic). Chronic sympathetic dominance is one of the biggest drivers of anxiety, sleep problems, digestive issues, and immune dysfunction.
Scan 2: Surface EMG (Energy and Tension)
sEMG measures how much electrical energy your muscles are using to hold you up. Too much = wasted energy, chronic tension, headaches, and fatigue. Too little = weakness and instability. We look at symmetry and total output to see how efficiently your nervous system is running the body.
Scan 3: Heart Rate Variability (Adaptability)
HRV is one of the most respected measures of overall health in modern medicine. It tells us how resilient and adaptable your nervous system is. Low HRV = stuck, depleted, at risk. Healthy HRV = adaptable, resilient, thriving.
Why Three Scans Matter
Together, these scans give a full picture of where your nervous system is stuck, why symptoms are showing up, and — most importantly — how your body is responding to care over time. It is the difference between "I think you feel better" and "here is the proof your nervous system is functioning better."
