NEUROLOGICAL DYSFUNCTION

In short, dysregulation means your nervous system is no longer adapting and responding as it’s designed to. Instead, it can be stuck in survival mode — dominated by the “fight or flight” (sympathetic) side, and unable to switch into “rest, repair, digest” (parasympathetic).

This state of imbalance often arises from cumulative stress, physical injury, trauma, spinal misalignment, poor lifestyle habits or unresolved inflammation.

Because the nervous system underpins virtually all bodily systems, dysregulation may manifest as many different symptoms. Some common ones include:

• Chronic fatigue, burnout or feeling depleted.

• Anxiety, mood swings, feeling “on edge”, overwhelmed.

• Poor sleep — difficulty falling or staying asleep, waking unrefreshed.

• Brain fog, forgetfulness, poor concentration.

• Digestive issues — bloating, IBS, gut-brain communication problems.

• Hormonal imbalances or menstrual issues.

• Chronic pain or tension that doesn’t respond to “usual” treatment.

• Immune issues, persistent inflammation.

If you’re experiencing several of these, especially together, your nervous system may be in a dysregulated state even if traditional medical tests are “normal”.

At House of Chiropractic, we use INSiGHT Scans, a cutting-edge, non-invasive technology that provides a clear picture of how your nervous system is functioning. These scans examine the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord, to identify areas of tension, stress, or communication breakdowns between the brain and body.

Our three unique scans include:

• NeuroSpinal EMG Scan – Detects tension or energy imbalances in the neuromuscular system.

• NeuroThermal Scan – Shows how well your nervous system regulates organs and controls functions like digestion, immunity, and sleep.

• Neuropulse Scan – Evaluates how your nervous system adapts to stress, including signs of sympathetic dominance or neurological exhaustion.

Together, these scans help us pinpoint where stress is “stuck” in your system and guide a personalised care plan to restore balance and nervous system regulation. Learn more about INSiGHT Scans
