Subluxation: A problem in the
spine where an abnormal position or movement of one or more bones disturbs communication within the Central Nervous System,
causing a disturbance in the body.
Surface Electromyography (SEMG Scan)
Your muscles are controlled by nerves. The SEMG measures how well the motor nerves are
working by reading the amount of current found in the muscles. Subluxations (misalignments) disturb the function of the nerve,
causing an abnormal amount of electrical current flowing to your muscles. This results in what most people feel as tension
or spasm. On the computer scan, this is indicated by colors and / or abnormal patterns. This helps Dr. Pennington essentially
"see" exactly what you are feeling.
Muscle Balance (Symmetry)
Muscle balance is extremely important because the vertebrae in the spine depend on the muscles to
move properly. If one or more vertebrae are out of their normal position, or have abnormal movement, it disturbs nerve function.
This disturbance creates muscle imbalance caused by an abnormal amount of electrical current in the muscles on either side
of the spine. As a result of this disturbance, the muscles can become weaker or stronger, tighter, or fatigued. An abnormal
muscle pattern on the scan reveals an increased amount of tension or pull on one side compared to the other. (Similar
to a tug-of-war between your muscles.)
Temperature Differences (Thermal Scan)
If your body temperature is 98.6 degrees, then the left and right sides of your spine
should also be the same temperature. Your skin is the largest organ of 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 the communication between the Nervous System and the blood vessels is disturbed, it causes the body's thermostat to malfunction,
producing an imbalanced temperature reading along the spine. These blood vessels are controlled by the same part of the Central
Nervous System that is responsible for controlling your organs, glands, chemicals and hormones, and is called the autonomic
(meaning automatic) system. This thermal scan provides us with information to monitor these automatic, internal functions
of your body.
No more guessing.
Many offices simply guess about what you need. Some even rely simply on whether or not you feel bad
at the moment. But that's like waiting until you feel the cavity before you take care of your teeth. But this old approach
is no longer necessary. Using sophisticated technology like this allows Dr. Pennington to see what is present regardless of how you
feel, and to monitor the real changes you are going through, even getting an idea about the internal levels of stress and
function of your organs and systems.
