Students to avoid Gentempo

Students today carry an unprecedented burden of debt. Some leaving school will face loans in excess of $150,000.
With financial hardships like this, it is more important now than ever to make smart decisions- including which equipment to purchase. For this reason, I am urging students to avoid the expensive purchase of the Subluxation Station as it becomes obsolete.

Note what JC Smith says about the Subluxation Station:

According to Paul Shekelle from AHCPR/RAND fame, the Sub Station (sEMG) had already been rejected by the AHCPR study.

Reportedly, VA Committee member Dr. Leona Fischer, who also serves on the WCA International Board of Governors, has repeatedly argued that thermography and sEMG units (Subluxation Stations) are essential for all VA facilities that offer chiropractic. Matt McCoy also belabored this point at the Great Debate at Palmer recently....Gentempo and Kent, who are co-owners of this surface EMG that purportedly prove the existence of VSC! In fact, this device as been labeled by experts as a “So What?” instrument in that it doesn’t detect VSC and is inconsequential to chiropractic diagnosis or chiropractic care.
