stressNeurophysiological measurement is an important test that everyone needs to consider to evaluate their nervous system. It is a quick process where non-invasive exams are performed. Dr. Ben Purcell, a Bathurst Chiropractor, effectively uses NeuroInfiniti machine to assess your nerve and provide detail about how they are affecting your health.

This is useful to find the minute change in neurophysiology and also capabilities for neural responses to stress and recovery. This new tool is now widely used by chiropractors around the world due to the association of a huge number of benefits.

What Is A NeuroInfiniti?       

A NeuroInfiniti is a highly useful tool which was designed to measure the physiological stress response accurately. This machine provides full details about the consequence of chiropractic adjustment on the brain. This is an effective way to test the health of the body which is affected by body’s stress response. This is a computerized process in which there are sensors that are attached to the top of the head, shoulder muscle, hand, and forearm.

NeuroInfiniti testing takes around twelve minutes to finish, and within that few minutes, it depicts how you respond and recover from stress challenges.According to Bathurst Chiropractor, Dr. Ben Purcell this instrument has helped chiropractors to evaluate health condition of the patient easily.

Factors Measured In NeuroInfiniti Testing

NeuroInfiniti testing is utilized for measuring different factors, and these factors are:

  • Brain Waves –

The brain activity of a person determines the frequency or speed of waves which originates from the brain and the NeuroInfiniti machine captures those waves for the stress response.

  • Heart Rate –

NeuroInfiniti machine detects the cause behind the rise in heart rate accurately and also measures how long the heart takes to return to the normal stage. This device provides valuable information on the patient’s response.

  • Heart Rate Variability –

Heart rate variability is a process of determining the effect of stress in patient’s life. This method is now also utilized for measuring the effect of Chiropractic care.

  • Temperature –

NeuroInfiniti machine also records the temperature because it is an effective way to calculating the stress response. During stress response, the blood shift to muscles from the skin for dealing with stress challenge.

  • Skin Conductance –

According to Dr. Ben Purcell who is a well-knownBathurst Chiropractor, NeuroInfiniti test finds out minute details, and skin conductance is one them. Skin conductance is calculated because this factor changes with the moisture of the skin which changes according to stress.

  • Muscle Activity –

During NeuroInfiniti test, muscle activity in shoulder and face is also taken into account because those muscles are correlated with stress response.

  • Respiration Rate –

Stress response is also measured by figuring out your breathing rate along with the way of your breathing.

So, if you think of finding the imbalance in your in your nervous system and improve your response time, then you should wait before things go south.

swStress is nothing something to be taken lightly. When you’re genuinely stressed, your body is under pressure, reacting in a ‘fight or flight’ way, and if you have any existing medical conditions, you could find these are exacerbated, or even changed towards a more severe form, because of the stress which is affecting your mind and body.

Stress is no laughing matter.

It is a medical fact that stress has a major effect on health, mentally, emotionally, and physically. It’s therefore important to identify what it is that is causing your stress, and then adapt accordingly. Reducing stress is sometimes simple, but other times it takes practice to switch your mind or habits to a different channel.

Thankfully, help is at hand. Here at the Perth Brain Centre, we are highly skilled and experienced in helping individuals understand the best ways to cope with stress, and to give valuable assistance in changing habits and breaking negative thought patterns. Stress leads to depression and anxiety, which we all know is no picnic. Anxiety treatment can be accessed in order to reduce symptoms, and hopefully help kick out stress and its reactions altogether.

So, what happens when you’re stressed?

Basically, your mind perceives a situation which it thinks is threatening in some way, so your body kick-starts adrenaline and cortisol production, two hormones which are linked with stress. The reaction of these hormones means your body goes into ‘fight or flight’ mode, and this means you undergo a whole host of physical symptoms, such as loss of appetite, racing heart-beat, shallow breathing, negativity, a racing mind, and if you have any existing medical conditions, such as a heart problem, these could adversely affected. The longer the stress goes on for, the worse the whole situation becomes, with sleep affected, which could then cause problems with relationships and work.

Effective stress management is down to identifying the cause and reducing it as much as possible. Of course, sometimes it’s down to coping mechanisms. This can take the form of changing your negative thoughts to positives, learning effective relaxation techniques, making sure you get enough sleep, analysing your diet for possible problems with nutrition, avoiding alcohol and caffeine, seeking social support, taking part in sport, and it could also be as simple as learning to say ‘no’ to people when you feel over-loaded. Keeping a stress diary is a useful tool to identify when you feel most stressed, which could help you pin-point the cause, e.g. work, or home life.

If you are concerned about the effects of stress, no matter what the cause, call the practice now on (08) 6500 3277 to arrange an appointment. We can help you identify the cause of your stress and advise you on how to live with it in a way which won’t impact your general health.

Stress in its worst forms can cause serious health problems, and put simply, life is too short to be stressed.
