Patients of Dr. Sheader or Dr. Whitlock can now be examined by the Insight Subluxation StationTM, a non intrusive technology which is a neuro-spinal screening and evaluation system originally designed to measure changes in the spinal muscles of astronauts.

|
The InsightTM technology used by Dr. Sheader and Dr. Whitlock has also received exclusive certification as a Certified Space TechnologyTM by The Space Foundation, which is co-founded by NASA. |

COLORADO
SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 10, 2006) – Spinal
care technology developed for astronauts is now available for
better chiropractic care. The Space Foundation announced today
that the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA) has been awarded
exclusive certification for the Insight Subluxation Station TM
as
a Certified Space Technology TM.
The Insight TM technology is a neurospinal screening and evaluation system
that uses surface electromyography (SEMG) technology
originally designed to measure changes in the spinal muscles of
astronauts.
|
| |
|
Chiropractors use the
Insight TM to
help identify subluxations, or misalignments of the spine
causing nerve interference, by measuring muscle activity.
Subluxations disturb the muscles’ regular nerve function,
causing an abnormal amount of electrical flow to the muscle as
well as other health challenges. The Insight Subluxation Station TM
measures the electrical flow and charts it using graphics that
show the spine and specify precisely when chiropractors should
adjust their patients, allowing for increased accuracy in
diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. |
| |
“The
Space Foundation is pleased to certify the Insight Subluxation
Station
TM,” said Kevin Cook, director of brand
management for the Space Foundation. “The Chiropractic
Leadership Alliance promotes better health by equipping the
professional with the best technology for patient assessment.”
|
|
The
Insight
TM
uses technology developed for NASA to measure the effects of
space on the spines of space shuttle astronauts. CLA continued
the development of the system into the commercially available
model available for chiropractic care and has been marketing the
technology since 1988. The system measures skin
temperature differentials and the sensitivity of paraspinal
tissues and assesses range-of-motion, heart rate variability,
and the amount of tension of paraspinal muscle activity to
create the visual images used by chiropractors and their
patients.
|
| |
|
“We
are extremely excited to have been awarded the Space
Foundation’s certification,” states CLA Chief Executive
Officer Dr. Patrick Gentempo.
“Increasing the credibility of chiropractic practice
with a technology relevant to today’s world will help bring
better health to millions of people worldwide.”

Since
the dawn of the space era, the world's best engineers at NASA
have been developing advanced technologies that fuel America's
efforts in space and also result in a number of earthly
applications. The Space Certification Program, managed by the
Space Foundation and created in cooperation with NASA, provides
official recognition for qualified products and services
incorporating those space technologies. For more information,
