FAQs
Does the Insight Millennium tests hurt?
Absolutely not. This test does not utilize any needles, electrical shock, or heat whatsoever. Important information is being received from your Central Nervous System.
Why do chiropractors administer this type of test ?
Our purpose for administering these test is to detect and pinpoint abnormal function in the spine which cannot be seen on X-ray. Abnormal spinal function causes abnormal Nervous System disturbance. The standard test will measure:
-
SEMG the amount of electrical current in the muscles
-
Thermography skin temperature along the spine.
Why is it important to monitor the results?
Your Chiropractor can easily monitor your changes through periodic progress exams. It has been proven that a very slight amount of pressure (weight of a dime! ) can disturb the communication within the Nervous System. , even if you do not have any pain symptoms.
How will this test benefit me?
For years, a major concern of the public has been, "Why do I have to keep coming back 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. Because of this technology, Dr. Jones can provide a "tailor-made" program to meet your specific health needs.
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 (indicated by colors and/or abnormal patterns.)
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, 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. The abnormal muscle pattern on the scan reveals an increased amount of tension/pull on one side compared to the other (similar to a Tug-of-War).
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 runs your organs and glands, known as the autonomic system. This thermal scan provides us with information to monitor the autonomic system for proper function.
When the range of motion is restricted, your ability to move is limited and causes tress on the parts involved l this begins a decaying process. This process not only affects the problem areas, but left uncorrected will negatively affect the areas above and below it (i.e. domino effect). This process is similar to your vehicle's front end when out of alignment, it limits proper movement of the tires, causing uneven wear and tear on certain areas.
To summarize, your body can be malfunctioning for months, even years, before you experience any symptoms. Since symptoms are always the last to show and first to go, it is important to monitor the function of your Nervous System which is why New Health Images utilizes the Insight Millennium. This technology provides vital information for your chiropractor, who is the only health care specialist trained and licensed in the detection and correction of subluxations. As a result of this experience, the highest level of health possible may be within your reach.
