It is painless, economical, and only takes minutes. These tests do not utilize any needles, electric shock, or heat whatsoever. The patient just feels someone touching their spine. Even infants and pregnant Moms-To-Be can be scanned. The scanning technology DOES NOT emit any radiation or dangerous signals. The benefits of these scans are to detect and pinpoint abnormal function which cannot be seen on X-ray and are generally not felt in the form of pain until the damage is severe. The scans will show if there is any Subluxation (stress) on your nervous system and how it is affecting your organs, glands, muscles & energy level (FUNCTION of your body/nervous system).
