“Take a look under the hood and give your spine and brain a good WOF.”
Form follows function
X rays are not a thing of the past, but are simply a snapshot in time from years gone by. X rays can be taken for safety reasons if there is suspicion of underlying disease, fracture, or gross abnormality, but for the most part X ray gives a visual representation of structure. While this is valuable, usually people’s problems begin functionally.
Form follows function. And this is how a spine ends up looking quite “poked” on an X ray years down the track. But you don’t want to wait till your spine is poked. You want to look after your health right here and now while stress is insidiously impacting your nervous system in places you can’t see. If your chiropractor or doctor is not using technology to measure nervous system function by now, they are flying blind.
Spinewave currently employs two technology streams:
Thermography
Measures the part of your nervous system that you can’t feel – the autonomic nervous system.
Heart Rate Variability
Particularly useful in helping clients with ADD, ADHD, anxiety or depression.
Thermography and Pattern Analysis
Thermography measures the part of your nervous system that you can’t feel – the part that controls function of organs, glands and blood vessels. You may have heard of the “fight/flight” response? This part of the nervous system lights up like a Christmas tree on the scan when you’re going through a rough time.
The scan takes 30 seconds to run up your spine.
Pattern analysis then embraces the idea that doing repeated scans over a period of time will present… a pattern, imaginatively enough. Repeated stress or trauma (physical or emotional) over time will start creating habits within the nervous system and be represented as a perpetual pattern on the screen. These poor habits within the nervous system are what lead to problems like fatigue, poor immune function, constipation, brain fog, grumpiness etc.
Our job is to break the pattern and form new, better ones.
Thermography and pattern analysis is useful because it allows us to gain insight into the function of your nervous system right here and now, in the absence of pain or problems before they actually manifest. This is why we call it proactive health care. We can then monitor your progress on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
Heart Rate Variability
We now have the “window to your heart” in our practice.
Neil has spent the last few years studying Heart Rate Variability (the body’s ability to adapt to stress) and finally has the tools to not only show clients exactly where they are at, but coach them more into ease, coupled with the power of chiropractic! You could not be in a better place as Spinewave stays on the cutting edge to bring you the best in health care.
This quick and completely non-invasive check tests to see how your heart and brain are communicating with each other. That same part of our nervous system that gets disrupted in the thermography patterns alters the harmony between our heart and brain. It’s an early indicator of stress and dis-ease in the system.
With the emWave technology one can see in real time how thoughts and emotions affect the heart and nervous system, which in turn impacts cognitive performance, learning ability, mental clarity and overall health and wellness. One can objectively monitor heart rhythms and confirm when coherence/harmony has been achieved. It acts as a mirror of the emotional state and this real-time information enables a user to more effectively reduce stress and the impact of negative emotions.
“This technology is particularly useful in helping clients with anxiety and depression.”
