Chiropractic care is about much more than manipulating spines and alleviating pain, it’s about helping the body function at its peak. So how do you prove the effectiveness of your care beyond just anecdotal evidence? The answer: neurological scanning technology.

With the help of INSiGHT scanning technology, chiropractors can provide measurable, objective data that shows real improvement in patients’ nervous system health. This technology doesn’t just track symptoms—it reveals how the nervous system is adapting, healing, and responding to adjustments. Ready to see how neurological scanning can change the way you care for patients? Let’s get into it.

What is Neurological Scanning Technology in Chiropractic?

Neurological scanning technology involves using advanced tools to assess the nervous system’s function, efficiency, and adaptability. In chiropractic, this technology is primarily used to detect nerve interference, measure stress on the nervous system, and track how well the body is recovering.

With tools like neuroPULSE, neuroCORE, and neuroTHERMAL, chiropractic care moves beyond the subjective complaints of pain or discomfort. Instead, it focuses on the root cause: nervous system function.

These scans help chiropractors understand how stress, alignment, and suboptimal nerve function are affecting their patients’ health, allowing for more targeted and personalized care.

How INSiGHT Scanners Improve Diagnosis and Treatment

One of the biggest challenges in chiropractic is diagnosing issues that can’t be seen or felt. That’s where INSiGHT scanning technology steps in. Here’s how it works:

  • neuroPULSE measures heart rate variability (HRV) to assess how well the nervous system is managing stress and recovering.
  • neuroCORE uses surface EMG to measure muscle activity, helping to pinpoint areas of tension caused by nerve interference.
  • neuroTHERMAL detects temperature differences along the spine to reveal deeper nervous system stress, affecting not just muscles but organs and glands.

Together, these tools create a comprehensive view of a patient’s nervous system, allowing chiropractors to identify problem areas and track improvements over time. This results in better, more effective care plans.

Why Objective Data Leads to Better Patient Outcomes

Patients often come to chiropractors for relief from pain, but they don’t always understand the underlying causes. Neurological scanning bridges this gap by providing objective data that shows how their nervous system is functioning.

By using tools like the neuroPULSE, chiropractors can track HRV and assess how well the nervous system is recovering and adapting. The neuroCORE and neuroTHERMAL tools further help to identify areas of muscle tension and nerve stress. This real-time data can:

  • Pinpoint the root causes of dysfunction
  • Show how chiropractic care is improving nervous system health
  • Track progress in a way patients can visually see and understand

With clear, measurable data, patients are more likely to stick with their care plan and see real improvements over time.

How Neurological Scans Help Track Progress

One of the biggest advantages of neurological scanning technology is its ability to track changes in nervous system function over time. Instead of relying on subjective reports from patients, chiropractors can use scans to show exactly how the body is responding to adjustments.

The CORESCORE™, which combines data from neuroPULSE, neuroCORE, and neuroTHERMAL, is a great example of how this works. It provides a simple, visual score that tracks nervous system health and performance.

When patients see their CORESCORE™ improving, they can directly associate the results with their care, building trust and confidence in chiropractic. This not only improves patient outcomes but also increases retention and referrals.

Why Patients Stay Engaged with Scans

Keeping patients engaged is one of the hardest parts of chiropractic care. As soon as their symptoms improve, they may stop coming in, not understanding that true wellness goes beyond symptom relief.

This is where neurological scans help you communicate the value of ongoing care.

  • Visible results: When patients see progress in their CORESCORE™, it reinforces the idea that chiropractic care isn’t just about getting rid of pain—it’s about improving nervous system function and long-term health.
  • Tracking progress: Scans give you the data to show improvements, which keeps patients motivated and committed.
  • Building trust: When patients see the changes in real-time, they understand that the adjustments are making a significant, measurable impact.

By showing patients how their nervous system is improving, you’re giving them a reason to stay committed to their care plan and share their positive experiences with others.

Let’s talk about the future of chiropractic. Spoiler alert: it’s all about the nervous system. You know it’s the command center of the body, but how do you prove that to patients? They can’t see their nervous system, and they can’t feel stress creeping in until it’s already caused a problem.

This is where HRV scans and the CORESCORE™ change everything. These aren’t just fancy tools—they’re how you make the invisible visible. They let you show patients exactly what’s happening inside their bodies, shifting the focus from pain relief to long-term performance.

So, let’s break it down. What are HRV scans, what is the CORESCORE™, and how can these tools help you deliver next-level care?

What is an HRV Scan in Chiropractic?

An HRV scan (Heart Rate Variability) measures how well the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is adapting to stress and recovery. The ANS controls everything you don’t think about—your heart rate, digestion, immune system, and more.

Here’s how it works. Using CLA’s neuroPULSE, chiropractors track subtle variations in the time between heartbeats. These fluctuations tell you how resilient the nervous system is.

  • High HRV: Your patient is adaptable, recovering well, and handling stress like a champ.

  • Low HRV: The nervous system is stuck in overdrive and struggling to keep up.

Think of it like checking the nervous system’s fitness level. An HRV scan provides a real-time snapshot of how well the body is performing at its core, even if symptoms haven’t shown up yet.

Why HRV Scans Matter for Nervous System Health

The nervous system runs the whole show. When it’s under stress—whether from physical, emotional, or environmental factors—it can’t do its job effectively. But here’s the problem: most patients don’t even realize it’s happening.

This is where an HRV scan makes the difference. It gives you objective data to show patients what’s going on beneath the surface.

Here’s what it helps you do:

  • Uncover stress patterns and dysfunction before symptoms appear

  • Build care plans that target nervous system performance, not just pain relief

  • Show patients measurable progress over time

It’s about helping patients understand that their nervous system isn’t just “there”—it’s the foundation of their health.

What is the CORESCORE™ and How Does It Work?

The CORESCORE™ is like a report card for the nervous system. It combines data from three advanced scanning technologies in CLA’s INSiGHT neuroTECH suite:

  • neuroPULSE (HRV): Measures adaptability and stress resilience through heart rate variability.

  • neuroCORE (sEMG): Tracks muscle activity and highlights tension caused by stress or subluxations.

  • neuroTHERMAL: Detects temperature imbalances along the spine, showing deeper nerve stress affecting organs and glands.

These scans work together to generate a single score, ranging from 0 to 100. A higher score means the nervous system is efficient, resilient, and handling stress well. A lower score signals that something needs attention.

This isn’t just for you—it’s for your patients. The CORESCORE™ takes complex data and simplifies it into a number they can understand. When they see that number climb closer to 100, it’s a lightbulb moment.

Why the CORESCORE™ Keeps Patients Engaged

Let’s be real. One of the biggest challenges in chiropractic is keeping patients engaged! They feel better after a few adjustments, and suddenly, they think they’re done. The CORESCORE™ solves that problem by showing them why it’s not just about feeling better—it’s about functioning better.

Here’s why it works:

  • Progress is visible: Patients can see their score improve, which keeps them motivated.

  • The focus shifts: It’s not just about getting rid of pain. It’s about optimizing their nervous system for long-term health.

  • It builds trust: You’re not just saying care is working—you’re showing them the proof.

When patients understand the bigger picture, they stick around. And when they stick around, they bring their families and friends with them.

How Often Should Chiropractic Adjustments Be Scheduled?

The answer depends on the patient and where they are in their journey.

  • Release Phase: Adjustments 2–3 times a week release locked in patterns and habits,help stabilize the nervous system and address major stress patterns.

  • Rebuilding Phase: As the nervous system begins to recover, weekly and even twice weekly  adjustments help build adaptability and resilience.

  • ReVitalization Phase: For long-term wellness, adjustments every week or every 2 weeks keep the nervous system functioning at its best.

Here’s the kicker. Regular updates to the CORESCORE™, paired with follow-up HRV scans, help you fine-tune care frequency. It’s not about guessing—it’s about data-driven decisions.

FAQs About HRV Scans and the CORESCORE™

What’s the difference between an HRV scan and the CORESCORE™?
An HRV scan focuses on heart rate variability, measuring how well the nervous system handles stress and recovery. The CORESCORE™ combines HRV data with neuro muscular and thermal insights from the neuroCORE and neuroTHERMAL to create a comprehensive report of nervous system health.

How often should the CORESCORE™ be updated?
Progress checks every 4–6 weeks are a great way to track improvements and keep patients engaged.

Are HRV scans and the CORESCORE™ safe?
Absolutely. These scanning instruments  are non-invasive and provide valuable insights into the nervous system without any discomfort for the patient.

Can patients improve their CORESCORE™?
Yes. Regular chiropractic care, combined with healthy habits like better sleep, stress management, and proper nutrition, can significantly improve nervous system adaptability and boost the CORESCORE™.

Take Your Practice to the Next Level

Here’s the bottom line: HRV scans and the CORESCORE™ are game-changers. They’re how you can prove the value of chiropractic care!

With CLA’s neuroPULSE, neuroCORE, and neuroTHERMAL, you can help your patients see measurable progress. You’re turning invisible stress into visible results, building trust, and creating lifelong advocates for your care.
