Day One
You’ll meet Dr. Nicole to get started on
- A consultation
- Discussing your health history
- An examination
We use the advanced Insight™ Subluxation Station to take three tests:
Thermography
This test consists of running the scanner along both sides of the spine. The test measures the temperature on both sides of the spine and gives a deeper look into the functioning of the Autonomic Nervous System. When there is dysfunction in this system, it will be demonstrated on the results of this scan through noted colored bars measuring the amount of dysfunction.
Surface Electromyography (sEMG)
This assessment tool measures the amount of electrical activity running through the muscles of the spine. The test looks at the motor component of nerve function. The more electrical activity running through this nerve can indicate areas of muscle spasm, along with areas of fatigue from long-standing subluxation.
Heart Rate Variability
With this test, we look at how stressed the brain and heart are. The test measures the amount of autonomic reserve or lack of reserve present in our system. The more reserve we have, the better able our bodies are at handling the everyday stressors we have in life, as well as the more significant stresses.
These three tests formulate what we call the COREScore. You can think of the COREScore as a report card for the health of your nervous system. The higher the score, the better. This technology gives us such pinpoint information about the health and efficiency of your nervous system that it’s the focal point of our practice.
Day Two
During your Day Two report of findings, you will receive the results of the scans. Each patient then will receive an individualized care plan based on the results of their scans in conjunction with the information obtained during your consultation and exam. Dr. Nicole will give you your first chiropractic adjustment.
Following Up
Because we live our life through our nervous system, we believe in the importance of care for a lifetime. Keeping our nervous system free of interference will help to maintain overall health and decrease symptoms that can result from a stressed or subluxated nervous system.
