We are designed with two essential spinal cores. The support core wraps around your midsection and protects your posture, allowing you to move freely. You’ve probably heard about the importance of maintaining proper core strength and flexibility. The other core runs through you like the core of an apple. It is made up of the spine, and it houses and protects the spinal cord and spinal nerves that emerge from the vertebrae, which allow communication between the brain and body. This communication core is a vital link in your health as energy and information flow freely to every organ, tissue, and cell of your body. Stress causing interference in this core system is known as a subluxation. We have new technologies that can detect where the core is under stress and how deeply that stress is affecting your health. We can track your stress and improvement with the new, Insight COREscore test results.
A subluxation has five components: spinal kinesiopathology, neuropathology, myopathology, biochemical changes, and pathology. This means that when there is an interruption in proper nerve transmission and the central nervous system’s communication with the rest of the body is inefficient, there will also be poor muscle control and tightened fibers, decreased mobility between joints, and physiological changes that ultimately lead to a disease state. This subluxation complex can exist and perpetuate patterns of dysfunction for a long time before a person will experience pain or other symptoms.
Chiropractors are the only practitioners who work to correct nerve interference. With this remarkable technology, now we can measure and track subluxation patterns. We can tell if stress has settled beyond the first layer of the muscles supporting the spine and further into the second layer of bone and joints, and finally to affect the third layer, the central nervous system. When we see that stress has affected the third layer, we now know that we are dealing with not only a back problem, but a health problem.
The Insight uses three technologies to calculate an overall score from 1 to 100 known as a NeuroSpinal Functional Index or COREscore. This shows how your body’s nerve communication is affected by everyday lifestyle stress and whether the nervous system’s ability to continue to adapt and cope has been compromised. It is a powerful and simple way to measure and report how efficiently and effectively a person’s nervous system is functioning. With the Insight, we are able to establish a reliable, scientifically valid, quantitative, multidimensional representation of the patient’s condition – something never before possible.
The COREscore™ can be completed in less than 15 minutes, is a non-invasive scan and produces instant feedback to the patient. It is the only technology of its kind certified by the Space Foundation and is used on Super Bowl Champions, Olympic Gold medalists and start athletes all over the world.
Patients of O’Maley Wellness Center will have the added benefit of being able to view their COREscore™ online, 24/7, through their private patient web site. Call O’Maley Wellness Center today to schedule your Insight scan.
