SURFSIDE BEACH - New technology is helping patients in our area improve their spinal health, according to Chiropractor Ray Willis from Willis Chiro Med in Surfside Beach.

Willis says its technology that's being used by everyone from professional athletes to NASA. It's called the Insight Discovery Subluxation Station was developed by Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA), A New Jersey-based company, and has been certified by The Space Foundation, a non-profit agency founded in cooperation with NASA. The Insight allows chiropractors to scans their patients' neurospinal health.

Willis says these scans easily and accurately identify areas of nerve interference that may be preventing one's nervous system from operating efficiently.

There are two types of scans.

1. Thermal Scan- this scan assess the part of your nervous system that helps to control your organs, glands, and blood vessels, the autonomic system. The instrument does this by precisely measuring differences in temperature along the spine.

2. sEMG- this evaluates the function of the muscles that support your spine. These muscles are controlled by nerves. This test shows the pattern of how energy is distributed through these muscles. The exam helps identify areas and patterns of abnormal tension and stress by precisely measuring muscle activity.
