Q: What is heart rate variability?
A: Heart rate variability, or HRV, is the natural rise and fall of your heart rate in response to your breathing, blood pressure, hormones and even emotions. In a healthy heart, the rate should increase as you inhale and decrease as you exhale. HRV is reflective of the general wellness state of the organism.
Q: What is Autonomic Balance?
A: By measuring the heart’s rhythmic patterns (heart rate variability) the Inner Balance Scan can assess the Autonomic Nervous System's state of balance very accurately. 90% of the body’s functions are controlled by the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). The ANS is like the brake pedal and gas pedal for an automobile. Sympathetic regulation is the Gas and Parasympathetic activation is the Brake. It is essential to have both to run the vehicle appropriately, safely and efficiently. If too much Gas (Stress) is used, this over charges the vehicle. Apply the brakes (Relaxation) too hard or too often, the system is sluggish. This analogy works in a simplified manner to express how the autonomic nervous system functions in the human body.
ANS Balance is an essential key to health and a stable immune system. Balance and homeostasis is the key to health. The teeter–totter of the Inner Balance Scan offers access to this valuable healing knowledge.
Q: What is Homeostasis?
A: Homeostasis is defined as the body's ability to maintain an inner balance in the face of the changing conditions of our external and internal environment. Inner balance is the key to longevity, a healthy response to the stress of life and a healthy immune system, which is the key to longevity. Are you in Balance?
Q: Does any Biocom product allow for measuring and analyzing HRV data along with a specialized treatment procedure continuously and in real-time?
A: HRV Live! product was designed specifically for this kind of use.
Q: I’m a chiropractor. What Biocom product would be best for measuring changes in autonomic function associated with my treatment procedures?
A: If you want to have a simple inexpensive tool to measure just the autonomic balance before and after the treatment procedure, then we would recommend the Inner Balance Scan 2.0 Professional Edition.
If you want to obtain more detailed information about autonomic function derived from resting HRV data and have ability to perform more measurements than just Pre- and Post-, then we would recommend the Heart Rhythm Scanner 2.0 or Heart Rhythm Scanner Special Edition (which includes two challenge tests – deep metronomic breathing and standup tests).
If you need to measure changes in autonomic function in real-time, input event markers and later compare any segments of recorded data, then we would recommend the HRV Live!
