NeuroInfiniti
Welcome to Family Wellness Chiropractic – Specializing in NeuroInfiniti Stress Response Evaluation!
Knowing Your Stress Response - NeuroInfiniti
At Family Wellness Chiropractic, we believe that true health lies in the body’s ability to respond appropriately to its environment. Whether you’re facing the intensity of being chased by a bear or preparing for a restful night’s sleep, understanding your stress response is crucial. With our advanced NeuroInfiniti technology, we can accurately measure how quickly and effectively your nervous system engages with and handles stressors, as well as how efficiently it recovers.
The NeuroInfiniti Stress Response Evaluation: An Effective Method
Our NeuroInfiniti Stress Response Evaluation is a 12-minute computerized test that offers a comprehensive and non-invasive examination of your physiological stress response. Using an instrument found in research facilities around the world, we attach sensors to specific areas of your skin, including your shoulder muscles, the top of your head, your waist, and your hands. Rest assured, this exam is completely non-invasive, with no needles or skin penetration involved.

What Does the Evaluation Measure?
Brain Waves
We assess your brain’s ability to be active when necessary and to rest when needed. Stress events, such as math tests, exposure to noises, and breathing exercises, require increased brain activity (Beta waves). Conversely, relaxation induces increased Alpha and Theta waves.
Heart Rate
While heart rate is widely recognized as a vital indicator of overall health, simply taking a person’s pulse doesn’t provide sufficient information about their stress response. Our stress test allows us to observe how your heart rate speeds up during stressful situations and how quickly it returns to normal. There is a direct relationship between breathing and heart rate.
Temperature
Under stress, the body typically redirects blood volume from the extremities to the organs, resulting in a decrease in temperature in the hands and feet.
Heart Rate Variability
Heart rate variability (HRV) serves as an effective measure of stress effects in your daily life. Research has shown that HRV is also valuable for evaluating the effectiveness of chiropractic care.
Skin Conductance
The amount of moisture produced by your sweat glands in the hands directly reflects your stress response. Increased hand moisture indicates a higher stress level. Through our evaluation, we can assess your ability to mitigate the effects of stressors, leading to improved neurological responses.
Respiration Rate
While changes in respiration rate during physical exertion are commonly understood, we often overlook it as a measure of overall health. As stress impacts oxygen requirements, respiratory rate becomes crucial. Additionally, the pattern of breathing, such as chest elevation versus diaphragmatic breathing, holds significance.
Muscle Activity
We can measure muscle activity throughout your body, both in a relaxed resting mode and during active motion. The trapezius and facial muscles serve as reliable indicators of stress-induced muscle tension
What Results Should You Expect?
Our evaluation provides valuable insights into your nervous
system’s state and offers a glimpse into your overall health. Here are
the different types of nervous system responses and their associated
signs:
Ideal
In an ideal state, the NeuroInfiniti machine strives to help you achieve a balanced and optimal level of brain activity. This state is characterized by a harmonious equilibrium between relaxation and alertness, enhancing your cognitive abilities, concentration, and overall well-being. You may experience improved focus, clarity of thought, and a greater sense of calm and mental stability.
Over-aroused
When utilizing the NeuroInfiniti machine, if you are experiencing over-arousal, you may notice symptoms such as increased anxiety, restlessness, racing thoughts, and difficulty focusing. Your brain activity might be excessively active, leading to a state of heightened alertness or hyperactivity. The NeuroInfiniti machine aims to help regulate and balance your brain activity, assisting in reducing over-arousal symptoms and promoting a calmer mental state.
Under-aroused
If you are experiencing under-arousal, you may encounter symptoms like sluggishness, low energy levels, difficulty initiating or maintaining attention, and a general feeling of being mentally foggy. Your brain activity might be below the optimal level, resulting in decreased alertness and reduced cognitive performance. The NeuroInfiniti machine aims to stimulate and regulate brain activity, helping to increase alertness, improve mental clarity, and boost overall cognitive functioning.
Chaotic
If you are experiencing chaotic brain activity, you may notice symptoms such as racing thoughts, difficulty organizing or prioritizing tasks, impulsivity, and a sense of mental disarray. Chaotic brain activity can hinder focus, decision-making, and overall cognitive functioning. The NeuroInfiniti machine aims to help regulate and bring coherence to your brain activity. By training your brain to achieve a more organized and synchronized state, the NeuroInfiniti machine can potentially reduce chaotic patterns, leading to improved cognitive clarity, enhanced mental organization, and better decision-making abilities.
ADD
Individuals with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) often experience challenges related to sustained attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. When using the NeuroInfiniti machine, it targets specific brain areas associated with attention regulation and cognitive control. The goal is to improve attention span, decrease impulsivity, and foster better self-control. By training the brain to focus and sustain attention, the NeuroInfiniti machine can potentially alleviate ADD symptoms, leading to improved concentration and task performance.
ADHD
ADHD encompasses symptoms similar to ADD, including difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. However, individuals with ADHD also exhibit heightened levels of physical restlessness and an increased need for movement. The NeuroInfiniti machine can assist in addressing the cognitive and behavioral aspects of ADHD by targeting specific brain regions associated with attention, executive functions, and self-regulation. The goal is to reduce distractibility, enhance focus, promote self-control, and alleviate hyperactivity symptoms, thereby improving overall cognitive functioning.
