What is sEMG and how do Chiropractors use it?
Computerized Sufrace Electromyograph - sEMG - is a computerized spinal examination that we use to evaluate the relative levels of electrical activity associated with misaligned vertebrae that affect the nervous system; a condition known as the Vertebral Subluxation.
When patients present with spinal bones (Vertebrae) that are misaligned (Subluxated), their spinal nerves can become irritated leading to many negative effects.
By interfering with the communication between the brain and the body, a Vertebral Subluxation leads to improper electrical impulses which can lead to poor health. Computerized SEMG Scanning helps our doctors in evaluating which areas/levels of the nervous system are being adversely affected by Vertebral Subluxations.

Dr. Hagmeyer utilizes many of the finest technologies available today for the detection of spinal subluxation and posture imbalance.
Computerized Surface Electromyograph, or sEMG, is a very sophisticated, non-invasive examination of the spinal postural muscles. This technology was developed by NASA to evaluation the muscle changes in astronauts after a long space flight.
Dr. Hagmeyer uses this very same equipment to determine the state of his patients' spinal muscle health. While the examination is being performed, the patient can watch on the computer monitor their own unique muscle imbalances.
Computerized Posture Exam
Every person that we encounter has their own unique posture. Some will have a marked forward head position, others will have a sway back, while still others will have a specific type of scoliosis. We find that most patients will have a combination of several different types of posture problems. By taking digital photographs of the patient, we process the images with the Posture Pro V software and the patient is assigned a Posture Number. Using this information, Dr. Hagmeyer develops precise posture correction programs unique to each patient.
