A: The scanner is basically a state-of-the-art thermometer. It's safe to use for all ages, and is the best way to check kids to see how their nervous system is functioning.


Q: Does the scanner tell you where to adjust?

A: No, the scanner tells us if an adjustment is needed. Getting over-adjusted is just as bad as getting under-adjusted.


Q: Why do you need to use the scanner?

A: Chiropractors use their hands to check the spine. With the scanner, we can go beyond what our hands tell us, so we can see diagnostically how well your nervous system is functioning.
