What is sEMG?

sEMG stands for Surface Electromyography.  This device measures the amount of electrical activity you muscles release when they are contracting, also known as muscle tension.  It is similar in function to an EKG which measures heart muscle activity.

Is It Painful?

Not at all.  It does not cause pain or irritation.  This makes it totally safe for infants, children, pregnant women or seniors.  it simply requires placement of small probes against the skin, testing takes less than a few minutes.

Why is muscle activity important?

Muscles have a tendency to "brace" in response to misalignments known as Vertebral Subluxations.  These subluxations create nerve irritation or interference which negatively affects muscles, blood vessels and internal glands and organs.

What do the results mean?

Colors indicate levels of tension:  In his case, average are green, pink are moderately high and red are high levels.  Yelow indicates abnormally low meaning fatigued muscles.  The arrows represents imbalance of muscle tone.
 
These imbalances can indicate the presence of a Vertebral Subluxation.  When correlated witih X-Ray and other testing we perform, the sEMG gives us additional information to help correct the cause of your symptoms.

How does this relate to chiropractic?

Vertebral Subluxations reduce your body's ability to maintain optimal health.  When Vertebral Subluxations are present, the nervous system is negatively affected resulting in increases or decreases in muscle activity.  The sEMG shows the muscular component of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
 
Our job is to dectect and correct these Vertebral Subluxations by a simple and effective procedure called an "adjustment".
