What's really going on in your spine

The facts

We all know that one of the key functions of the human spine is to give our bodies the strength and flexibility to move, thanks to an ingenious design in which each segment is able to move freely without pain.
Unfortunately, too many of us also know what it feels like to lose some of that strength and flexibility as a result of trauma, lack of exercise (or doing the wrong kind of exercise) or just aging. Although a healthy spine is capable of taking a remarkable amount of punishment as we go about our daily activities, there are limits. Traumas such as schoolyard falls and car accidents can cause vertebrae to start moving abnormally, or worse still, stop moving altogether.

The spine houses and protects much of the body's central nervous system and when it cannot move properly, it can result in dysfunction to spinal nerves involved in joints and muscles. As spinal nerves control every system in the body, poor spinal health can have a huge impact on your wellbeing and general health. Click here to view an interactive model. Unfortunately, it has become very common to blame our bad backs on pillows, beds, car seats and office furniture, when it's most likely that these are responsible for exacerbating symptoms, rather than causing them.

The SpineScan alternative

Located in East Perth, Western Australia, SpineScan provides an inexpensive, non-invasive form of imaging used in conjunction with X-Ray, MRI and CT scans. This technology, known as fixation imaging, offers a picture of the motion of each individual vertebra and is an outstanding tool for restoring correct spinal movement. Because vertebra movement is often altered or limited by events such as trauma, a controlled and specific force can often restore natural free movement and improve the health of your spine, muscles, ligaments and nervous system.

How does it work?

The fixation imaging equipment can be set to mobilise or adjust problem areas through low force impulse therapy, which the patient experiences as a painless series of vibrations. In the hands of a highly trained professional, it offers an objective and highly specific treatment for reducing the severity of many spinal problems by addressing the root cause of nerve irritation. With the computerised spinal analysis that is possible with fixation imaging, we can address the problem at the source and make a significant improvement in overall spinal health.
