Your muscles are controlled by nerves........

The SEMG measures how well the motor nerves are working by reading the amount of current found in the muscles.

Subluxations (misalignments) disturb the function of the nerve causing an abnormal amount of electrical current flowing to your muscles (indicated by colors and/or abnormal patterns).

Muscle Balance is extremely important because the vertebrae in the spine depend on the muscles to move properly.

If one or more vertebrae are out of their normal position, it disturbs nerve function.

This disturbance creates muscle imbalance caused by an abnormal amount of electrical current in the muscles on either side of the spine.

As a result of this disturbance, the muscles can become weaker or stronger, tighter or fatigued.

The abnormal muscle pattern on the scan reveals an increased amount of tension/pull on one side compared to the other (similar to a Tug-of-War).
