Embody Wellness | Chiropractic Health Care

Many of our practice members comment on how unique we are. Your experience with us may be different than your previous chiropractic experiences. Our doctors utilize very specific and gentle approaches to measure and 'adjust' displacements of the spine, to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience.

Chiropractic adjusting technique.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Activator Methods®

With a gentle touch and pressure by an Activator Instrument, the connection between brain and body is enhanced. This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust... read more»

CBP

What are Scans For?

By monitoring the nervous system, we can better understand how a patient is responding to chiropractic care.

Thermography

Infrared sensors are used to compare temperatures along the length of the spine. The purpose of the test is to assess sympathetic nerve function. Alterations in skin temperature patterns are associated with aberrations in the function of the autonomic nervous system, which includes the sympathetic system. The autonomic nervous system controls the organs, glands, and blood vessels.

In the analysis of thermal differentials, we are concerned with two factors, symmetry and pattern. Symmetry refers to the difference in temperature between the left and right sides at the same spinal levels. Differences in temperature from side to side are maintained within strict limits in healthy persons.

During your report we will review your scan results, examination findings and x-rays. You will be able to see images of what is happening in your body and understand the treatment plan that has been set for you.

We also repeat the scans after the initial course of treatment at your first progress exam and periodically with continued treatment to monitor your progress.

Surface EMG (SEMG)

Paraspinal EMG Paraspinal EMG scanning is one of the most exciting technologies in contemporary chiropractic practice. This procedure is a valuable tool in detecting and measuring changes in electrical activity of paraspinal muscles. Changes in paraspinal muscle function are seen in vertebral subluxation. Taken in concert with other examination findings, EMG scans may be useful in detecting and characterizing the muscular dysfunction seen in subluxation.

Why X-Rays

We also have the service of taking Digital X-Ray’s in our office. This saves you the time of having to make another appointment for x-rays at an off-site facility and allows us to take the views specific to Chiropractic analysis. For more information about x-rays click here.
