Wellness Assessment / Digital Nerve Scan
Anyone who enters through the doors of DREAM Wellness for any service, class or product is entitled and encouraged to receive a complimentary wellness assessment / Digital Nerve Scan (surface Electromyography). SEMG is a non-invasive test that utilizes the latest technology to demonstrate parameters of your body’s performance including strength, speed, energy, flexibility, coordination, balance and metabolism. These tests are utilized on world class athletes, including Olympic Gold Medalist, Dan O’Brien. This is the only technology of its kind to be certified by the Space Foundation, 
which was co-founded by NASA.
The results will provide us with a numerical value relative to your overall DREAM Score. Like the gas gauge on a car, your DREAM Score will provide you with a measurement of how much "wellness fuel" you have in your personal gas tank. Once your fuel level is established, DREAM Wellness can chart out a road map and provide you with a vehicle for meeting all of your wellness goals.
We are proud and excited to offer this state-of-the-art technology used to objectively measure nerve function. The nerve system is the master controlling system of the body. Therefore, how well the nerve system is functioning and sending information to and from the body will determine the actual degree of wellness “fuel” an individual has access to.
***Each provider at DREAM Wellness utilizes this assessment in his/her own unique way to provide you with an exceptional service. For example, the massage therapists use it in particular to determine where muscles may be pulling more on one side over the other; the Chiropractor may use it to determine where spinal misalignments may cause tension on the nerve system which may affect your general health and well-being; the nutritionist may use it to determine the function of the digestive organs; the fitness team uses it to determine balance and tone; and so on and so forth.
Surface Electromyography Scan
Your muscles, organs and glands are controlled by nerves. The sEMG measures how well the motor nerves are working by reading the amount of electrical current found in the muscles. Spinal misalignments may cause a disruption of the nerve flow, causing an abnormal amount of electrical current flowing to your muscles.
Muscle Balance (Symmetry)
Muscle Balance is extremely important because the vertebrae (spinal bones) depend on the muscles to move properly. If one or more vertebrae shift out of their normal position, it can disturb nerve function. This disturbance creates muscle imbalance. As a result, the muscles on one side of the body may become weaker, smaller, tighter or fatigued compared to the other side.
