Insight Scan

The 'Insight Millennium' scanning system measures how your nervous system is coping with the stresses of everyday life. It is the most the most advanced nerve and spinal scanning equipment available. And it plays a pivitol role in helping us to direct your care more effectively.

The scan acts like a 'lie detector' for the body; detecting key areas of nerve disturbance which might otherwise go undiagnosed. Dr Duffy explains:

“Sensory nerves make up less than 20% of our nervous system, which means that basing decisions about one’s health on just how you feel can be inaccurate. The Insight scan reveals how the other parts of our nervous system are functioning. This means we are able to base our treatments on how a patient functions, not simply how they feel, and as a result we can direct our care more effectively”.

The scan consists of five separate tests:

1. Pulse Wave Profiler (PWP): This records the variability of your heart beats.

2. Thermal Scan: The thermal scan measures differences in temperature along your spine.
 
3. Surface EMG: This measures muscle activity in your back.

4. Range of Motion (ROM): This scan records how much movement you have in your neck and back.

5. Algometry: The algometry scan measures how pressure-sensitive you are.

The results for each of the five tests are assimilated into a ‘wellness score’ out of 100. The higher your score, the better the state health of your core neurological and spinal functions.
