Exams and Consults
Our exam and consult enable us to understand your health needs and provide you the personal care that you need.Let’s take a closer look at them.
Meet the Surface EMG
|
You’ll soon find out that the surface EMG is an amazing diagnostic tool which can accurately and graphically chart imbalances in your spinal column, muscles, and nervous system. The surface EMG reads the amount of heat along the spine and electric current in your spinal muscles to determine how well your nerves are functioning. The surface EMG uses the same technology that is used in NASA’s space program and for olympic athletes.

Now, Meet the Thermal Scan
|
The thermal scan provides chiropractors with the information to monitor the Autonomic Nervous System for proper function as well as possible malfunction occurring in organs and glands in the body.
The thermal scan measures temperature differences along your spine. When there is disturbance somewhere in the nervous system, the blood vessels are disturbed, and it causes the body’s thermostat to malfunction. This results in an imbalance temperature reading along the spine.

Why do we care so much about muscle balance?
|
Muscle balance (symmetry) is extremely important because vertebrae in the spine depend on the muscles to move properly. Subluxations (fixated misalignments in the spine or other joints) disturb nerve function and cause an abnormal amount of electrical current to flow to your muscles.
Abnormal electrical currents on either side of the spine cause muscle imbalance to occur. As a result, the muscles can become weaker or stronger, tighter or fatigued.
The Insight Millennium thermal scan detects abnormal heat and muscle patterns, revealing an increased amount of tension/pull on one side of the spine compared to the other.
|
Why do we make note of asymmetry?
“Asymmetry” indicates that the nervous system is losing it’s ability to adapt to stress.
Your blood vessels are controlled by the same part of the Central Nervous System that controls and coordinates your organs and glands, known as the Autonomic Nervous System.
