MOTOR
NERVES - control muscles
Surface Electromyography
(SEMG Scan)
Measures Electrical Current
of the Muscles. Your muscles are controlled by nerves. The SEMG reads the amount of electric current in your muscles to determine
how well your motor nerves are functioning. Subluxations (misalignments in the spine) disturb nerve function and cause an
abnormal amount of electrical current to flow to your muscles. These are indicated by colors or abnormal patterns in the scan.
MUSCLE
BALANCE – Symmetry
Muscle balance (symmetry) is extremely important
because vertebrae in the spine depend on the muscles to move properly. Again, if there are misalignments in your spine (subluxations),
nerve function will be disturbed. Abnormal electrical currents on either side of the spine will cause muscle imbalance to
occur. As a result, the muscles can become weaker or stronger, tighter or fatigued. The Insight Millennium scan will detect
abnormal muscle patterns, revealing an increased amount of tension/pull on one side of the spine compared to the other.
AUTONOMIC
NERVES – Control Blood Vessels, Glands, and Organs
THERMAL SCAN – Measures Temperature
Differences. If your normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees, then the left and right sides of your spine should also be the
same. Your skin is the largest organ in the body, and the blood vessels under the skin work as the body's thermostat. (They
expand to release heat and contract to retain heat controlling the body's temperature.) When there is disturbance somewhere
in the Nervous System, the blood vessels are disturbed, and it causes the body's thermostat to malfunction. This results in
an imbalance temperature reading along the spine, which is measured with the Insight™ Millennium. Your blood vessels
are controlled by the same part of the Central Nervous System that runs your organs and glands, known as the Autonomic System.
This thermal scan provides us with the information to monitor the Autonomic System for proper function.
Frequently
asked questions about the Insight™ Millennium
1. Do the Insight™ Millennium scans hurt?
NEVER. The
tests are completely non-invasive; they do not use any needles, electrical shock or heat. They are designed to receive information
from your Central Nervous System.
2. Why does the Chiropractor administer these
tests?
Our purpose is to detect abnormal function in the spine which cannot be seen on x-ray. Abnormal spinal function causes
abnormal Nervous System disturbance.
3. Why is it important to monitor the results?
Dr. Phetchamphone
wants the best results for her patients. She can easily monitor your changes through periodic progress exams. It has been
proven that a very slight amount of pressure can disturb Nervous System communication whether or not symptoms are present!
Monitoring the functioning of your Nervous System is vital in improving your health and well-being.
4. How will this test benefit me?
For years,
a concern of the public has been, “Why do I have to keep going to the Chiropractor when I'm pain-free?” or “How
do I know if I'm getting the proper amount of adjustments?”
Now you are able to actually
see the changes, and it will be easier to understand the amount and type of care you are receiving. This technology has allowed
Dr. Phetchamphone to provide a “tailor-made” program to meet your specific needs.
