What does that thing do?
Dr. Morgan has been getting a lot of questions recently as she continues to use this tool to check people’s spines before she adjust them. The tool is called a Nervo-scope (or “scope” for short). It is used by some chiropractors to assist the identification of subluxations (misalignments affecting the nerve) in the spine.
How does it work?
The scope works by comparing the temperature on either side of the spine. The temperature of the skin should be similar on either side of the spine. However, nerve irritation from subluxations causes differences in the temperature from side to side. The difference in temperature causes a reading on the scope which is indicated by the pointer swinging to one side and back.
Why use it?
The scope provides objective measurements of the location and severity of subluxations in the spine. Combining the feedback it gives with palpation (feeling) of the spine and x-ray analysis, Dr. Morgan is able to determine which specific areas of the spine need to be adjusted each visit. This approach allows Dr. Morgan to find and correct the primary problem areas in the spine and allow the nervous system, and in turn the body, to heal itself.
