LaBelle Chiropractic Center of Greenville is among a growing number of chiropractic doctors that have upgraded their level of care to include technology that has benefited NASA, Super Bowl champions, Olympic gold medalists and numerous A-list celebrities.

"You don't have to be an astronaut or a world-class athlete to want your body operating efficiently. This technology will allow us to have a greater impact on the overall health of our community," said Dr. Shawn LaBelle.

The technology – known as the Insight Discovery Subluxation Station – was born from a partnership between NASA and the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA), a New Jersey-based company. The Insight allows chiropractors to screen their patients' neurospinal health. These scans easily and accurately identify areas of nerve interference that may be preventing one's nervous system from operating efficiently. When one's nervous system is functioning at peak capacity, the human body has more energy, a greater resistance to disease and less need for pain. Once pinpointed via the technology, chiropractic adjustments are then utilized to remove the area(s) of nerve disruption.

NASA has used the technology to evaluate the physical attributes of astronauts. The space agency and CLA were recently praised on Capitol Hill for introducing this technology to the general public.
