The Fuse Box of Health: What CLA Scans Reveal About Kids’ Nervous Systems
Introduction
Every parent knows the feeling—you sense that something’s “off” with your child, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Maybe they’re having sleep struggles, big emotions, or constant tummy issues. You’ve asked questions, searched online, maybe even visited doctors, but the answers feel incomplete.
At Solstice Chiropractic, we believe parents deserve clear answers about their child’s health. That’s why we use Insight CLA scanning technology—a tool that gives us a direct look at how your child’s nervous system is functioning. Think of it like checking the fuse box in your house: when the lights keep flickering, you don’t just replace the bulbs—you look at the wiring.
Why the Nervous System Is the Fuse Box of Health
Your child’s nervous system is the master control system for their body. It regulates everything from sleep and digestion to focus, mood, and immune responses.
When the nervous system is under stress, it’s like a fuse blowing in your home:
One small issue can shut down an entire system.
Other “circuits” try to overcompensate, creating imbalance.
The longer it goes unchecked, the bigger the problems become.
CLA scans help us find those blown fuses—before they turn into major breakdowns.
What Are CLA Scans?
CLA scans are non-invasive, safe, and gentle technologies that measure nervous system function in three key ways:
Thermal Scan (Rolling Thermography)
Measures temperature patterns along the spine.
Reveals areas of inflammation and imbalance in the brain-body connection.
Like a “heat map” showing where the wiring is overloaded.
HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
Measures stress adaptability—the balance between fight-or-flight (sympathetic) and rest-and-digest (parasympathetic).
Tells us if your child’s body has the reserves to handle stress, illness, and growth.
Like checking the power supply to make sure the whole house has enough energy.
sEMG (Surface Electromyography)
Tracks muscle tone and energy use.
Shows if muscles are overworking, underworking, or imbalanced due to nerve stress.
Think of it as finding the circuits that are constantly “buzzing” with electricity.
Why Parents Love the Scans
For parents, CLA scans are often a moment of relief. Instead of guessing, you can finally see the problem. Many families share that the scans:
Validate what they’ve been noticing at home (“I knew something was going on!”).
Provide measurable data they can track over time.
Help them understand their child’s struggles aren’t “just behavioral.”
It’s like switching on the dashboard lights in your car—you don’t ignore the check engine light, you look under the hood. CLA scans are your child’s check engine light for health.
How This Guides Care for Kids
A Pediatric Chiropractor in Colorado Springs uses CLA scan results to create personalized care plans. Instead of symptom-chasing, we focus on:
Clearing nervous system interference
Supporting regulation and adaptability
Tracking progress with follow-up scans
This gives families hope and direction—not just for today, but for their child’s future health and development.
What This Means for Your Family
Whether your child is dealing with sensory challenges, ADHD, anxiety, digestive struggles, or recurring illnesses, CLA scans provide the missing link between “what’s happening” and “why it’s happening.”
They give us the roadmap we need to support your child’s nervous system—helping them feel calmer, healthier, and more connected.
