Subluxation Station

Each color represents differing amounts of nervous system disturbance.

At HealthGuard Wellness, we utilize an advanced chiropractic technology that scans your spine and delivers a computerized image of the stress and tension to your nervous system. Two different technologies give us (and you) an objective assessment:

Surface EMG

Surface Electromyography measures the minute amounts of electrical energy in the muscles along your spine. Vertebral Subluxation Complexes disturb the function of the nervous system. This can produce too much or too little electrical activity in your muscles. We use this highly-accurate, non-invasive scan to document your progress. It’s more accurate than how you feel.

Thermal Scan

As you’d expect, this measures temperature. When there are disturbances to your nervous system along the spine, there are often temperature differences from side to side. This is due to inflammation and changes in blood flow. Our thermal scan is non-invasive and reveals the condition of your autonomic nervous system controlling your organs, glands and circulatory system.

What to Expect

After gowning, we’ll have you sit still for a moment or two. Then we’ll run a thermal sensor up your back and use a pair of surface probes to measure the electrical signalling in your spinal muscles. Think of these as miniature radio antennas listening for a distant station. That’s it. The computer does the rest!

At your report, you’ll get to see the computerised printout and learn what it means. Because your care is based on the condition of your nervous system, not how you feel, this technology is one of the focal points of our practice.
