Neothermal Scan
The Thermal Scanner will measure the temperature on each side of your spine. Your skin temperature is controlled by the autonomic nervous system which is that part of the nervous system that you don’t have to think about. Such as heart rate, breathing, all organ function, and much more. Studies at Johns Hopkins University show that the body temperature on the left and right sides of your spine should be the same. A difference of body temperature on the right or left sides of your spine indicates stress on your autonomic nerves (Subluxation). The test enables us to determine what organs may be affected and the severity of the stress.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
- Extracorporeal Radial Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic treatment used as an alternative option for patients who have common musculoskeletal and chronic disorders.
- The frequent short waves of energy that are generated by the shockwave machine are sent to the soft tissues in the injured areas of the body. It not only increases a patient's pain tolerance but also stimulates their body’s natural healing process. A higher application of this energy will improve mobility and help reduce pain and discomfort for them.
- Shockwave therapy can significantly reduce the pain from tendinopathies and improve the quality of living for a patient.
