Space Foundation certifies chiropractic product
Spinal care technology developed for astronauts is now available for better chiropractic care. The Space Foundation has awarded the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA) exclusive certification for the Insight Subluxation Station (tm) as a Certified Space Technology (tm). The Insight technology is a neurospinal screening and evaluation system that uses surface electromyography (SEMG) technology originally designed 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. Chiropractors use the Insight to help identify misalignments of the spine. The Insight Subluxation Station provides graphical images of the spine and specifies precisely when chiropractors should adjust their patients, allowing for increased accuracy in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. For more information about the Space Certification Program, visit www.SpaceConnection.org. For more information about the Insight Subluxation Station, visit www.subluxation.com.
