How Is Body Balance Determined?
Body Imbalance can be determined a number of ways:

|
The anatometer is an instrument used to measure spinal biomechanics which help the doctor determine the state of body balance. By using the anatometer we can provide:
- Precise measurements of postural changes
- Provide timely and effective patient examinations
- Reduce the dependency on repeated x-rays, saving you time and money
As a modern chiropractic office, we are committed to using the highest quality research and clinical grade chiropractic instrumentation available for the sole purpose of detecting and correcting of interference to your nervous system. The tools we use for this purpose are SEMG and Thermography.
Subluxation Station
At Precision Spinal Care, 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, starting at the base of your skull, we’ll run two probes down your back. 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 computerized 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 the focal point of our practice.
