INSIGHT SUBLUXATION STATION
Your body can be malfunctioning for months, even years before you experience any symptioms. Since symptoms are always the last to show and the first to go, it is important to monitor the function of the nervous system which is why Dr Youngblood utilizes the Insight Station.
His purpose for administering these tests 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. These tests are completely non-invasive utilizing no needles, electrical shock, or heat.
De meetmethode is in gebruik bij chiropractici die menen dat vele kwalen zijn af te leiden van zogenaamde subluxaties {zie http://skepp.be/apparatuur/subluxation } ; een door spierspanningen veroorzaakt niet juist gepositioneerd zijn van de wervels.
Een heel aantal apparaten zoals INSIGHT, SCANVISION en MYOVISION is gemaakt om SEGM toe te passen.
Vaak wordt de meting aangewend om mensen te bewegen behandelingen te ondergaan die geen enkel effect hebben. Sommige leveranciers bevelen hun apparaat zelfs aan met de belofte van het verdubbelen van het praktijk-inkomen.

....In 2000, after reviewing more than 2,500 original articles, reviews, and books, an American Academy of Neurology subcommittee concluded that SEMG was "unacceptable as a clinical tool" for diagnosing low back pain or neuromuscular disease [5].
For these reasons, routine chiropractic use of SEMG should be regarded as a money-making scheme.

..The ease at which you can now educate and communicate with your patients will enhance their desire to raise their NSFi {de z.g. NeuroSpinalFunctionIndex} which will in turn increase patient retention and new patient acquisition.
......
Patient Compliance – Doctors have reported an increase in patient retention because the InsightTM objectively demonstrates the need for care after symptoms disappear.

The Subluxation Station scans for, detects and provides clear, color-coded scans of the patient's spinal misalignments (subluxations) and clearly demonstrates their effects on the patient. These are indicators that, because they are located in muscles, nerves and soft tissue, cannot be seen on x-ray.
....
It performs the SEMG (surface electromyography) scan to measure the amount of electrical activity in the muscles, thermal scanning to measure skin temperature along the spine, and the digital inclinometer to measure the range of motion of the spine.
