Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Named for its developer, we conduct a thorough evaluation using full spine X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for accurate adjustments... read more»

Insight Millennium Scans

There are three types of nerves in your body: Those that control your muscles, those that control your organs and glands (such as regulating your heartbeat) and those that cause pain. You can tell us about the pain, but what about the rest of your nerves? We use these scans to objectively detect and measure regions of nerve disturbance in the other two areas. These scans will also document and monitor your results. Periodic re-scans will track your progress toward more normal function and improved health.

Surface Electromyography (SEMG Scan)

Your muscles are controlled by nerves. Any disruption of the nerve, such as a subluxation (misalignment of the spine) leads to abnormal function of the muscle. The SEMG detects this abnormal function by measuring the amount of electrical activity occurring in the muscle.

Muscle Balance (Symmetry)

Muscle balance is extremely important because the vertebrae in the spine depend on the muscles in order to move properly. Ideally, the muscles on both sides of the spine should function the same. Neither side should be more or less active than the other. However, if one or more vertebrae are out of their normal position (subluxated), it disturbs nerve function. This disturbance creates muscle imbalance. As a result of this imbalance, the muscles on one side of the spine can become tighter than the other (similar to a Tug-of-War). The symmetry scan will show the differences in tension on one side compared to the other.

Temperature Differences (Thermal Scan)

The Thermal Scan measures the temperature of the skin along both sides of the spine which is controlled by the blood vessels underneath it. These blood vessels are the thermostat of the body. They are controlled by the same nerves that control your organs and glands. When these nerves are disturbed, such as by a subluxation, it causes this “thermostat” to malfunction, producing an imbalanced temperature reading along the spine. This thermal scan allows us to monitor the function of all your organs and glands.
