Myovision - Spine Screening

Myovision is the brand name of a surface electromyogram machine. It is a machine that measures muscle activity by running a scanner over the back of the spine. Myovision is considered to be one of the best in the market and is gaining popularity as a tool to show abnormal muscle pattern behaviors in the spine

Myovision is useful in the following conditions:

• Acute Back Pain
• Chronic Back Pain
• Whiplash
• Soft Tissue injury
• Cervical Spondylitis
• Sports Therapy
• Rehabilitation programs
• Posture related back problems
• Muscle spasms and contractures

Myovision gives graphically, the improvement or deterioration of the back pain. And what is wonderful about this is that the guest can see these themselves – as the reports are visual.
By using this latest technology we can receive the most accurate information on the condition of your muscle to better help your needs.

The entire Myovision Examination can be done in 10 – 20 minutes.

More about Myovision Examination
Myovision is computerized spinal examination which uses Surface Electromyography (SEMG) to measure the electrical activity of the muscles. Myovision has been developed by David Marcarian, a NASA scientist and is very similar to an ECG (which is done for the heart).

The Myovision Surface EMG allows the doctor to quickly assess the muscle-tension state of the guest, without requiring exercise or strenuous activity which may be harmful. The graphic readouts are easy for both the doctor and guest to fully understand.

Tests of Myovision
The Myovision 8000 Static Surface EMG allows the doctor to quickly assess the muscle-tension state of the guest, without requiring exercise or strenuous activity which may be harmful. The graphic readouts are easy for both the doctor and guest to fully understand. (5 mins)

Thermoglide test records approximately 16 temperature measurements per inch scanned. The software then analyzes the actual temperature from the readings and gives the asymmetry in temperature readings which indicate an underlying disorder. (5 Mins)

Range of Motion gives the exact degree of movements possible. (5 Mins)

Dynamic Myovision Test assesses the condition of the muscles during Flexion and Rotation. (10 – 15 Mins)

How does Surface electromyography work?
Surface Electromyograph (SEMG) measures the amount of electrical activity your muscles release when they are contracting. For example: When your spine misaligns and rubs against the nerves, your muscles spasm in order to stabilize the area of misalignment. Myovision picks up this interference by reading the electrical activity of the muscles and graphing the results according to those readings. A report of the guest's back and areas of concern is then printed and discussed to further educate our guests on the cause of their condition and measures to be taken.

The Myovision surface electromyography provides us with exceptional data to assist in determining areas of the nervous system that are being adversely affected by areas of spinal misalignment.

How is this procedure done?
A surface electromyography is similar to an ECG, which measures the activity of your heart muscle. Myovision is a non-invasive, non-painful procedure that involves placing small probes against the skin in order to pick up the electrical current. Guests feel nothing at all. This painless procedure allows us to further assess and diagnose the severity of your condition as well as help monitor your progress while under our care.

Is it Painful?
Not at all. The procedure is totally non-invasive and does not cause irritation or pain. Because of this it is safe to use on infants, children, seniors, and pregnant women. The examination requires only the placement of small probes against the skin and only takes a few minutes to complete.

What about the reports?
• Known for clear, clean graphics and simple to understand reports, allows guests to quickly get the point.
• Allows you to quickly assess the muscle-tension state of the guest, without requiring exercise or strenuous activity which may be harmful.
