Dr. Jonathan 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. Jonathan 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. Jonathan develops precise posture correction programs unique to each patient.
