Range of Motion

The Range of Motion exam measures the amount of movement in regions of your spine.  This exam identifies areas of restricted motion, and shows if one side moves better than the other.  Your ranges of motion can also be compared to established normal values.  This part of the exam helps your doctor find areas of altered spinal mechanics.  

Surface EMG

The Surface EMG exam evaluates the function of the muscles that support your spine.  These muscles are controlled by nerves.  This test shows the pattern of how energy is distributed through these muscles.  The exam helps identify areas and patterns of abnormal tension and stress.  By precisely measuring muscle activity, your progress can be followed as your care progresses.

Thermal Scan

The Thermal Scan is used to assess the part of your nervous system that helps to control your organs, glands, blood vessels, and the autonomic system.  The instrument does this by precisely measuring differences in temperature along the spine.  Since proper function of your organs, glands, and blood vessels is essential to healing and living well, this test gives your doctor a 'snapshot' of how this portion of your nervous system is working and how it is responding to care.

Pulse Wave Profiler

The PWP or Pulse Wave Profiler helps the doctor to determine your overall ability to adapt to the environment.  It does this by looking at the timing of your pulse, and determining the balance and tone of your nervous system.  This exam is known as heart rate variability.  Proper balance and tone are associated with better adaptability and healthy lifestyle.  Low heart rate variability is associated with aging and poor heart health.  Published research has show that chiropractic adjustments have a beneficial effect on heart rate variability.

Postural X-ray

Postural X-rays are a common part of the examination process when looking for vertebral subluxations.  X-rays give us important information including the position of the spinal bones, and the quality of the spine and safety of adjusting it.  X-rays also tell us the relative length of time subluxations may have been involved in your spine.  X-rays may be taken depending on your age and situation.
