We can help add life to your years
|
|
- We use SEMG (muscle evaluation) to measure the balance and tension of your muscles, since the muscles are attached to your bones.
- We measure the nerves which control your organs, glands and vessels through thermography.
- We measure how you move in specific directions with a computerized range of motion evaluation.
- We measure any problems with your posture via computer so you can see how the rest of the world sees you.
- We keep up with the latest in chiropractic technology to help us give you the best possible care.

SEMG stands for Surface Electromyography. SEMG is a device which measures the amount of electrical activity your muscles
release when they are contracting, more commonly known as muscle tension. It is similar in function to an EKG which measures heart muscle activity.
The reliability of SEMG has been documented in studies and confirmed with The New York Chiropractic College, The Mayo Clinic, and University of California, Irvine.

Not at all. It is totally non-invasive does not cause pain or irritation. This makes it totally safe for infants, children, pregnant women or seniors. It simply requires the placement of small sensors against the skin. The test takes less than a few minutes.
Muscles have a tendency to "brace" in response to spinal misalignments known as Vertebral subluxations. These subluxations create nerve interference which effect muscles, blood vessels and internal organs.
To assist your chiropractor in finding the cause of your problem.
Vertebral subluxations reduce your body's ability to maintain optimal health. When Vertebral subluxations are present, the nervous system is negatively effected resulting in increases or decreases in muscle activity. The SEMG shows the muscular component of the Vertebral subluxations. The Chiropractor's job is to detect and correct these Vertebral subluxations by a simple and effective procedure called an "adjustment".
Readings correlate with the presence of vertebral subluxations, which your Chiropractor will correct through adjustments to your spine.
The Chiropractic Adjustment has many positive benefits to your nervous system. In most cases, the SEMG normalizes and balances. The information from your SEMG will help your Doctor of Chiropractic determine the type of care best suited to your case. Follow up testing is used to monitor and evaluate your Chiropractic progress.

Can you see the difference? |
 Nerve interference is caused by subluxations can create an imbalance in blood flow between left and right sides of the spine. This difference in blood flow creates differences in temperature. Click on the picture for an enlarged view.
White - Normal
Green - Mild Interference
Blue - Moderate Interference
Red - Severe Interference
As a modern Chiropractic Office, Dr. Wander is committed to using the highest quality research and clinical grade medical instrumentation available for the purpose of detecting and correcting the Vertebral Subluxation.
Computerized Spinal Examination, specifically Surface Electromyography (SEMG) is used to evaluate the relative levels of electrical activity associated with Vertebral subluxations.
By interfering with the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, a Vertebral Subluxation produces improper electrical impulses which can lead to poor health.
This altered or abnormal (pathophysiologic) state is then recorded and displayed by Computerized SEMG. SEMG Scanning provides qualitative and quantitative data to assist your Chiropractor in Abnormal ThermoIdeal Thermodetermining which areas / levels of the nervous system are being adversely affected by Vertebral subluxations.
