Hermen Health offers a variety of services:
Subluxation Station
Here at Hermen Health, we provide state of the art diagnostic equipment. The Insight Subluxation Station is the only technology of its kind certified by the NASA Space Foundation. Our Space Foundation certified Insight Technology establishes a reliable, scientifically valid, quantitative, multidimensional, representation of your condition – something never before possible. This is significant on many levels. It enables chiropractors to analyze a patient's condition more accurately, communicate findings more effectively– while allowing both the chiropractor and patient to track the effectiveness of treatment.
Thermal Technology of the Subluxation Station
Thermal technology has been in clinical use for over a century. The first thermal patent for healthcare use was applied for in 1924, by Dossa Evins. Later that year, B.J. Palmer started utilizing thermal technology to measure patients’ response to care. Thermography has long been acknowledged in the scientific community as being an accurate and reproducible technology. In fact, there are over 5000 references to thermography on Medline. The normative study used by the Insight is based on published scientific research done at Johns Hopkins University in 1988, in which a group of neurosurgeons used thermal scanning technology to determine temperature asymmetry protocols and their relationship to sympathetic dysfunction. In the abstract from the article, it states “Thermal values can be used as a standard in assessment of sympathetic nerve function, and the degree of asymmetry is a quantifiable indicator of dysfunction.”
Surface EMG of the Subluxation Station
This analysis is a unique, patent pending sEMG application that only the Insight provides. Of primary importance to the chiropractor is the way muscle energy is being distributed throughout the spine. Patterns can demonstrate ‘efficiency’ or they can exhibit lack thereof. Think of it sort of as the motor systems ‘miles per gallon’ rating. A person’s somatotype or age may affect sEMG amplitude signals. But with the Insight’s breakthrough pattern view, clinical impressions will not be skewed due to these factors. Colors and the shape of the lines serve as visual cues to easily assess the results.
Surface EMG - sEMG – an accepted technology for clinical use
According to other sEMG manufacturers who market to the medical profession, the following medical specialties have utilized surface EMG since the late 1980s:

Bio-meridian Machine - Allergy Testing and Customized Nutritional Counseling
Our state-of-the-art Bio-Meridian machine enables us to perform quick and painless testing of your own allergies and a customized nutitional supplementation plan. Thousands of allergens may be tested for over several sessions, if necessary. The machine electronically tests various acupuncture points to see how the patient reacts to an allergen. Reactions are recorded and graphed for analysis and assisting us in planning custom treatments.
Allergy Treatment - Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) — NAET is a technique that theorizes that most illnesses —from headaches to coughs to PMS — are caused by undiagnosed allergies. After diagnosis with the Bio-Meridian machine, we may then use NAET to reduce or eradicate allergies that are undermining your health. NAET is a non-invasive, drug free, alternative therapy intended as a treatment for allergies and chemical sensitivities. Founded in 1983 by Devi Nambudripad, a California based acupuncturist, NAET draws on ideas from acupuncture, applied kinesiology, and allergy medicine. NAET is practiced by over 8,500 licensed medical practitioners all over the world.
Erchonia Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy— Cold laser beams are often described as “acupuncture with laser beams,” in that they penetrate the surface of the skin without heating or damaging the tissue. The laser stimulates the body’s acupuncture points, bringing additional blood supply to various body parts. Cold laser therapy regenerates tissue by increasing the cells ATP production. ATP is sugar broken down to the cellular level and used by the cell as the cell’s “fuel”. When you increase ATP production, you increase healing and decrease healing time naturally.
Manual Diversified Chiropractic Adjustments
We offer manual adjustments using the force of the chiropractor’s hands, without the use of additional instruments, in a diversified technique. The diversified approach addresses biomechanical failures occurring in areas of the spine, as related to partial dislocation.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation may be used to aid the patient in loosening and healing injured muscles by causing a muscle or group of muscles to contract.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a deep-tissue heating modality that has been used for several decades to treat musculo-skeletal injuries, soft tissue injuries, range-of-motion limitations, back injuries, and more. It helps increase blood flow to a given area, relaxing muscle spasms and helping to speed healing.
Supplements
A variety of high quality supplements may be recommended to support the health of your body. Dr. Jill uses a combination of Standard Process, Nutri-Dyn, and Metagenics in her practice. Using the Bio-Meridian machine Dr. Jill can tailor the supplements that you take to your own personal body’s needs to bring you to optimal function.
