In an effort to provide the best care possible for the community, Joseph Guyton D.C. introduced the Insight Subluxation Station, a technology available for the Chiropractic profession.

This technology is used to assist in the detection of subluxation by measuring physiologic activity. Subluxation is the term used to describe an abnormal position/movement of the spinal vertebrae, which disturbs communication within the Central Nervous System, causing decreased human potential and function.

The SEMG equipment scans the electrical signals produced by muscles along the spine. When a muscle contracts, it produces a small electrical signal. The harder the muscle pulls, the more electricity it gives off. The patients skin on the back of his or her neck and spine is cleaned with alcohol. Then the doctor places sensors on the patients spine, while measuring nerves.

The procedure is noninvasive and results in a computer printout that graphically illustrates areas of more or less electrical activity. Areas of excess activity are displayed as red may indicate corresponding areas of spinal inflammation - which can result in back pain, headaches or a variety of other symptoms.

A second scan, called the "thermal" scan, is also done to measure how the autonomic nervous system is functioning. The autonomic nervous system controls bodily functions such as heart rate, breathing, digestion and organ function.
