Myovision’s web site talks about how doctors are using their product. Why would they do this if such measurements were of very limited and chiropractic largely ineffective? A recent review of surface electromyography concluded that “there are insufficient data to support its utility for distinguishing between neuropathic and myopathic conditions or for the diagnosis of specific neuromuscular diseases.” However, given chiropractic’s limited utility, why a chiropractor would use such a device is very unclear.Īlthough electromyography does have a certain applicability within medicine, it looks like Myovision are not aiming at the medical profession, but almost exclusively to chiropractors. There appear to be some genuine uses that such a device can be used in diagnosis certain muscle diseases. Such devices usually use needles to detect the electrical activity in muscles. The Myovision is a type of surface electromyography device. The result is a picture, as shown above, that is supposed to be diagnostic of problems in the spine that the chiropractor can then get to work on. These readings look at the level of voltage and the patterns of directionality, which allows your healthcare professional to determine if your spine and nervous system are functioning optimally. The MyoVision sEMG ScanVisions read the voltage that the muscles in your spine naturally emit. The MyoVision Scan takes 90 seconds and is completely safe, painless and non-invasive. So what is a Myovision scan and what function does it provide during an initial chiropractic consultation?Ī Myovision device is a handheld scanner that is designed to measure electric activity in skeletal muscles. The wilder claims of chiropractic, such as being able to treat childhood ailments, have been shown to be utter nonsense. It may help a little with lower back pain, but no more than pain killers and exercise. Chiropractic is of limited therapeutic value. Included in this price was a “complete consultation and results, including the latest high-tech Myovision Scan”.Ĭhiropractors have been criticised for trying to lure people into lengthy, costly and, importantly, unnecessary treatments. An advert in my local paper called for people to come into the Wells Chiropractic & Osteopathy Centre for an introductory price of £19.
