The 3 INSiGHT Scans That Guide Every Adjustment We Make
What if your chiropractor could see exactly what’s going on inside your nervous system—without guessing, without assumptions, and without relying only on symptoms?
At Three Nails Chiropractic in Franklin, TN, that’s exactly what we do.
We use advanced technology called the INSiGHT Scanning System, designed specifically for neurologically-focused chiropractors to measure exactly where stress, tension, and interference are affecting your body or your child’s.
This takes the guesswork out of your care and helps us deliver precise, personalized adjustments that create real results.
Let’s break down the 3 INSiGHT scans we use—and why they matter.
1. 🧠 Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Your Body’s Stress Test
What it tells us:
This scan measures how well your body adapts to stress, based on small variations between your heartbeats.
Why it matters:
HRV reflects your overall resilience—your ability to shift between stress and rest. When HRV is low, it means your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and your body isn’t recovering the way it should.
We often see low HRV in kids with anxiety, sensory issues, ADHD, and chronic illness, as well as in adults dealing with fatigue, sleep trouble, or burnout.
A low HRV reading tells us your nervous system is working too hard, and your body needs help shifting into healing mode.
2. 🌡️ Thermal Scan: Measuring Autonomic Nerve Stress
What it tells us:
This scan looks at temperature differences along the spine, showing how the autonomic nerves (which control digestion, hormones, immune function, focus, etc.) are functioning.
Why it matters:
Big temperature differences indicate neurological interference, which may explain issues like:
Digestive problems (constipation, reflux, etc.)
Hormonal imbalances
Sleep issues
Immune struggles (constant sickness)
Trouble focusing
We often find this scan reveals deep, invisible stress even when symptoms aren’t yet obvious.
This is one of the most important scans for kids with gut issues, anxiety, ADHD, or frequent illness.
3. ⚡ Surface EMG (sEMG): Tracking Muscle + Energy Output
What it tells us:
The sEMG measures the energy output of the postural muscles along the spine, showing how much tension the nervous system is creating in your body.
Why it matters:
Excessive or uneven muscle activity shows the body is compensating—using too much energy to stay upright and function. This is common in:
Kids with poor posture, sensory issues, or delays
Adults with chronic tension or fatigue
Babies with head tilts, colic, or movement struggles
If we see energy “hot spots” or exhaustion zones, we know where to focus care for the best results.
What Makes INSiGHT Scans Different?
✅ Safe for all ages – completely non-invasive and gentle, even for newborns
✅ Real-time data – results are instant and easy to understand
✅ Progress tracking – we re-scan every 12 visits to measure changes over time
✅ Root-cause focused – they help us understand why symptoms are happening, not just where they are
Most importantly, they help us connect the dots between your story, your symptoms, and your nervous system function—so we can build a care plan that truly fits your family’s needs.

Babies struggling with sleep, colic, feeding, and reflux
Toddlers with milestone delays, tantrums, or immune issues
