Q: How long does it typically take to implement the INSiGHT into my practice?
A: You will receive your login credentials almost immediately after purchase. Then, you and your team can access the training videos. This will create excitement about integrating the INSiGHT into your patient flow. Within a few hours of hands on testing and training the INSiGHT can begin to be used in regular patient flow. It has multiple fail-safe scanning systems in place to assure accurate collection. The goal is to reexamine existing patients over the first 3 months of introducing the technology.
Q: How often should I perform scans on my patients?
A: CLA recommends that initial scans be performed on all new and reactivated patients. Re-scans are necessary to track improvements and can be done at regular intervals of every 10-12 visits or more often if indicated. With ongoing care plans of less visit frequency, scans should be scheduled quarterly.
Q: What is the average time it takes to perform a scan?
A: Depending on which INSiGHT instruments you purchased, the average scan time can range between 30 seconds and 3 minutes. A comprehensive CORESCORE exam takes under 8 minutes total.
Q: If I use scans, should I still use X-rays in my examinations?
A: INSiGHT scans measure the functional, active, neural signals in the autonomic, motor and sensory systems. X-rays show the passive, end results of postural change and disease. Many CLA clients use both technologies: the INSiGHT to identify the how stress and tension activity is changing a person’s health and x-rays to look at the static, end effects in the spine and how adjustments and subluxations have made their deeper, structural changes. The two tests complement one another.
Q: Is the INSiGHT technology backed by validity and reliability research and are the scans reproducible?
A: Each INSiGHT instrument is engineered to collect precision, biomedical data based on validated research protocols. The intra-examiner and intra-exam reliability is deemed to be very good to excellent.
Q: What can I charge for the INSiGHT scanning tests?
A: On average, clients who use the INSiGHT charge patients an initial examination fee ranging from $75-$125. The exact amount depends on several factors such as: the location of your practice and your overall pricing structure. The recommended re-examination fee is minimally, the fee of one cash visit in your office.
Q: Can I use the INSiGHT scans as documentation for PI and Workers Comp cases?
A: Yes, objective documentation is key, and the INSiGHT technology has been used in many cases over the years to document a patient’s necessity for care. Generally, the static sEMG, Dynamic EMG, Wireless Dual Inclinometer for range of motion, along with the Algometer are used to show this objective necessity for care.
Q: Can my staff perform the scans, and what’s the average time it takes to perform a scan?
A: Many INSiGHT clients have their staff perform the scans on patients. Please note, it is always the responsibility of any practitioner to ensure that staff can perform examinations in their jurisdiction.
Q: Can you scan children with the INSiGHT Technology, if so, what is the youngest age you can scan them?
A: Yes, infants and children can safely and accurately be scanned at the following ages:
Q: Can I use the INSiGHT Technologies on pregnant patients?
A: INSiGHT scanning technologies are Class II FDA registered devices that meet rigorous compliance standards. The INSiGHT scanning technologies are manufactured and tested in an ISO 13485 registered medical device facility located in Massachusetts, USA. Each of the scanning technologies has also been tested for safety and electromagnetic compatibility by a certified, independent testing laboratory for adherence to IEC 60601 standards. There are no contraindications for use during pregnancy and no restrictions on patient age.
Q: Can I use the INSiGHT Technologies on patients that have pacemakers?
A: Pacemakers invalidate the use of HRV as there is only artificial variability (HR is controlled). A pacemaker artificially regulates both sympathetic and parasympathetic activity by pacing the heart. There is little to no variability in a person who has a pacemaker.
SEMG and thermal scanning – The beating heart in the chest is the prime neuromuscular artifact that EMG scanning detects. It’s a classic background frequency that is “removed” or washed through EMG analytical software. The use of HRV, thermal and sEMG are all considered safe processes for someone with a pacemaker as these instruments do not emit energy that could alter any rhythms Feel free to keep using the sEMG and thermal scanning to track improvement.
Q: What’s is happening when a patient’s re-scans look” worse” over time?
A: All healing uses energy and as the deeper subluxations unwind, the body can increase the motor and autonomic nerve system activity as it reorganizes. Be patient. Subsequent scans invariably show a calming response and pattern. An initial three scan protocol is recommended for this reason. It is suggested that you follow this sequence: Baseline Exam – Progress Exam – Comparative Exam and Continuation Exams.
Q: What is the pairing code number to connect the Bluetooth to the neuroTHERMAL with myINSiGHT software?
A: The pairing code is “0”.
