Each practice member at our practice undergoes a series of neurological scans so we can track how well their nervous system is coping with the stresses of everyday life. This technology creates accurate, scientifically backed, and objective data that helps give you confidence in the recommendations for your health.

The scanning technology uses a combination of tools such as thermal scanning, sEMG, and a Heart Rate Variability, to provide a detailed representation of your nervous system function.

Thermal Scanning is used to assess temperature variability along the spine. Temperature is used as an indicator for where stress is building up in your body and how it may be affecting the function of your organs, glands, and blood vessels.

sEMG (surface EMG) is used to assess the function of the muscles directly related to the movement of your spine via the nerves that run through them. This test focuses on assessing the amount of energy needed to maintain your posture in an upright sitting position, as well as how that energy is distributed throughout the spine side to side. Over time, daily stress can continue to overwork these muscles, causing them to lose their support and mobility. Increased or decreased muscle tone and ineffective muscle control are visible on these scan results. Muscle fatigue and poor energy distribution are signs of a person’s entire health being under stress.

Heart Rate Variability is used to assess your ability to adapt to the environment around you. For example, is your body caught in “fight or flight” due to emotional, physical, or chemical stress? Or is your body easily able to relax and adapt to stress appropriately? Adaptability to stress directly correlates to overall health outcomes, body ease, and the degree of central neural function.
