I came to the office today after coaching some pretty dynamic teams. The theme for many clients as they begin coaching is how to best integrate the neural scanning technology into the practice and importantly, how to communicate the results within a chiropractic framework. What we soon learn is that to accomplish these two feats the doctors and their team must have a HUGE passion ansd understanding of chiropractic “as it was meant to be”. Everyone knows the power and the benefit of moving the patient away from the spinal story and into neural tone and wellness. What everyone may not know is how deeply “stained” and damaged the central spinal-neural processor is by the time we meet new patients. This is why we can begin to rely on the full array of 5 tech scanning to set early, mid and long term goals…and WIN every time in our progress reporting and care plan management.
Looking at the three significant neural tests of sEMG, thermal scanning and HRV and developing a care plan can be a recipe for confusion and even disaster if careful communication and thoughtfulness is not properly conveyed. As in any physiological testing the win is to see changeability and even change towards a more normal and powerful state. This is the win that the doctors are all over. What the patient, inherently sees and resonates with is , “color is bad, make it go away”. Deep neural stains must release and then reorganize and all that takes time and patience. The answer to inspiring in the short term lies in relating results that are bound to change more rapidly. Lets face it, you wouldn’t expect a tilted and degenerative xray to show resolution withing 12 or even 20 sessions. Better but not thoroughly healed. The same goes with HRV, thermal and sEMG. However, global ROM and regional inflammatory reactions as measured through algometry can and will change rapidly. Remember the older dialogue I taught you about the three layers? Well these two tests are really indicative of a release occuring in Layers 1 and 2. Clinically we expect a shift here. Lo and behold, what we expect , indeed comes true. Even the most tonally based techniques and approaches, identify a slackening of neural-dural and muscular tone combined with an easing of reactionary inflammation.
Let’s set ourselves up to win with each and every patient. Chiropractic always works…when it addresses subluxations. Use the scans to alert the patient as to their progress and their use the proper scans to help set goals. Of course a bigger goal is to watch the NSFi increase but in the shorter term, where the patient is evaluating their decision and your skills, set yourself up to win so that they may win. I guess this is indeed a win-win situation.
