Surface EMG

We experience life through our nervous system. Simply put, if our nervous system doesn’t work right, we don’t work right. And when we don’t work right, we’re not healthy!

We use technology to measure the condition of your nervous system. It's a noninvasive procedure called surface EMG.

Stethoscope for the Spine
 This noninvasive procedure "listens" to your nervous system like a high-tech stethoscope.

The same part of your nervous system that controls your internal organs regulates the temperature of your skin. Our instrument measures differences as small as a tenth of a degree!

Nervous system compromise causes muscles along the spine to exhibit unusual electrical activity. Our equipment can detect differences as small as a millionth of a volt

Your Nervous System Scan

Each color represents a different amount of nervous system disturbance.After gowning, we’ll have you sit still for a moment or two. Then, starting at the base of your skull, we’ll run two probes down your back. Think of these as radio antennas listening for a distant station. That’s it. The computer does the rest!

You’ll see the computerized printout and learn what it means. Because your care is based on the condition of your nervous system, not how you feel, this technology is the focal point of our practice.

Dr. Tim Asks some important questions of interest to San Clemente residents - Chiropractor San Clemente Dr. Tim Asks...

Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, San Clemente patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
How do most people deal with subluxations?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our San Clemente chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care.
