Reverse the Effects of Hidden Body Stress
Body stress can cause you to feel tired and run down, foggy, have trouble sleeping, aching in your joints, gain weight despite dieting, get frequent colds and bugs, and more.
CoreScore testing is a quick non-invasive procedure that can enhance your quality of life.
Don't Guess, Test Your Stress!
The neuro-spinal system has three layers that lifestyle stress settles into: The muscles, the joints, and overtime, the nervous system housed within the spinal column. We live our entire lives through the nervous system. It coordinates and controls every aspect of our health.
When stress settles into this third layer, it causes interference in communication between the brain and the rest of the body. At this point, we no longer have simply a back problem, but may begin to develop health problems as well. While other practitioners can be effective at treating muscle and joint issues, chiropractors are the only doctors trained to locate and correct nerve interference.
The Insight Neuro-Spinal Functional Scans
The test takes under 15 minutes and is performed by placing sensors on the skin over the spine. We are proud to offer this Space-Foundation certified technology as a centerpiece of our practice. The Insight allows us to take a "snap shot" of the relationship between your spine and nervous system function at a given moment in time.
1. ORGAN AND GLAND CONTROL – The first part of examination process checks for temperature differences along the surface of the skin at each level of the spine. Heat is a byproduct of circulation, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, the system that is responsible for organ and gland control. The image produced shows exactly where imbalances of the spine are beginning to affect the body's function.
2. MUSCLE TONE & BALANCE – The second part of this examination is to determine how hard your muscles are working to maintain your posture. We can see if imbalance is causing some muscles to become overactive, working harder than they should be, leading to early fatigue. It is especially important to athletes to know they are training their muscles symmetrically to avoid injury.
3. HEART RATE VARIABILITY – The third part of the examination measures the beat to beat timings of your heart to evaluate your nervous system’s overall functional state, ability to adapt, self-regulate, cope with stress, and coordinate and control every function of the body. It lets us monitor the body’s reserve for coping with additional lifestyle stress. It tells us if the body has been under chronic stress for so long, that it is having trouble finding its healthy rhythm.
The COREscore
The results obtained in these tests are used to calculate a number from 1-100 to evaluate your overall NeuroSpinal Functional Assessment, or COREscore.
This objective benchmark for periodically measuring and evaluating your success guides the development of your personal wellness plan is one of the things that makes our practice stand out among the rest.
Torque Release Chiropractic
The Integrator is the high-tech tool used in Torque Release Technique to tune the nervous system. Adjustments remove interference in the signals between brain and body, as well as reduce tension on the central nervous system as a whole, normalizing its operating frequency, or "tone". This affects your level of consciousness and awareness, your mood, and the metabolic and hormone functions the body.
TRT differs from other chiropractic techniques by focusing on the segments of the spine with a direct relationship with the nervous system. As we gently and specifically adjust these "nerve center" areas of your spine, we are changing the degree of tension in the central nervous system to one that promotes greater ease, efficiency, and elegance.
Chiropractic works by first releasing old patterns of interference in nerve communication between brain and body. With each adjustment, stronger, clearer, more efficient patterns are rebuilt, until the body becomes more resilient against stress, and you feel more clarity and vitality. This is why remarkable results are common, not just in the spine, but throughout the body.
