Activator® Adjusting Instrument
The Activator Adjusting Instrument is an alternative to traditional chiropractic which is done by hand. The instrument provides a consistent low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustment without the cracking sounds. Evolved from nearly 40 years of empirical study and 15 years of clinical research, the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) uses the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to seek joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities for improved patient care. This approach is useful and effective for all people, but is particularly attractive for those individuals who are tentative about receiving a manual chiropractic adjustment. The elderly and children do very well with this instrument.
SEMG
As muscles contract, electrical signals are created within the muscle that may be measured from the surface of the body. A procedure that measures muscle activity from the skin is referred to as surface electromyography (SEMG). SEMG is a quick & painless procedure which evaluates the functional status of the muscles of the spine. Small electrical currents which come from active muscles are detected by sensors placed on the skin directly above the muscles. The strength and pattern of the signal is displayed onto a computer screen and the data is collected in a software program that helps us determine the areas of tension and imbalance within the spine.
BioImpedance
This technology is based on the fact that electricity passes through different mediums at different speeds. For example, electricity travels faster through water than it does through air. The body tissues all conduct electricity at a different rate. The Biomarker 2000 uses highly sensitive electrodes to measure the resistance to a small electrical impulse throughout the body. By doing this, we can determine the composition of the body. This measurement has been labeled as one of the best predictors of health and vitality, and is a direct measurement of the health of your cells.
We use this device to measure body fat, lean body mass, fat weight, basal metabolic rate, body mass index, phase angle, and hydration status broken down into intra-cellular water vs. extra-cellular water. This information is essential to developing a personalized diet and exercise program. Although the information gained from the initial test offers tremendous insight regarding internal health status, the follow-up tests are even more valuable as we can determine how our changes are affecting our cells and body composition. Lose fat, not muscle with the Biomarker 2000!
X-Rays
X-rays are a useful tool when it comes to measuring the state of bones & joints. Not all patients are radiographed when they begin care at our office. We would suggest it for the following reasons:
•Suspicion of fracture, infection, or cancer
•Highly traumatic injury
•Evaluation of arthritis
•Patient not responding to care
•Scoliosis evaluation
