Cutting-Edge Medical Diagnostics
Because every detail matters.
About The Vinton Method™ Diagnostics
“Still in Pain? Here’s What They Didn’t Tell You.”
Why lying-down x-rays or MRIs often miss the true cause of spine and joint pain… and how a weight-bearing x-ray and MRI can reveal the answers you need.
If you’ve had back, neck, knee, hip or other joint pain for months… maybe years… chances are you’ve already tried the merry-go-round: shots, therapy, chiropractic, medications, maybe even a traditional laying down cramped in a tube MRI.
But here’s the problem: most MRIs are taken lying flat — when gravity is removed. Yet often, your pain doesn’t show up lying down. It shows up when you’re upright, moving, bending, standing.
That’s why we offer open, non-confining, Weight-Bearing MRI. It scans you lying down and again upright, against gravity, exposing hidden disc bulges, pinched nerves, and misalignments that laying flat MRIs overlook.

Let our cutting-edge team of doctors, pain management specialists, surgeons and chiropractors get to the root cause of your pain—offering nearly a dozen non-surgical options above and beyond typical drugs, surgeries or last centuries style adjustments.
Full Body Digital X-Ray
This state-of-the-art full body digital x-ray allows us to see how all the different structures relate to each other, giving us significantly more information than just a picture of the part that hurts. This is one of the tools that the Vinton Method™ utilizes to get to the root cause of your problem.

Surface Electromyography
Dr Vinton has utilized sEMG since the mid 1990s, and taught world-wide for several years with one of the doctors - Dr. Jeffrey Cram - who wrote one of the seminole books on the topic.
Surface electromyography - unlike needle EMG - painlessly reads the electrical activity between your brain and muscles, much like an EKG gives a reading of your heart or an EEG gives a reading of your brain.
It helps us find areas that are often not found on x-ray, MRI, or other forms of testing.
It allows us to leave no stone unturned in helping understand the root cause of why you hurt.

Dynamic Surface Electromyography Combined With Digital Range Of Motion
The American Medical Association guide lists this test as the gold standard in helping to uncover chronic pain.
The digital range of motion tracks and records the movement of the body, while the sEMG simultaneously records the muscular activity.
In a healthy person, as they begin to move, the muscles fire and you can see the muscle activity as well as the digital range of motion movement on the computer screen indicating healthy tissue.
In a person with chronic neuromusculoskeletal pain, they either won't move through the full range of motion and/or the muscles will not turn off and continue to fire, demonstrating chronic pain.
This is something that you cannot see on an X-ray, MRI, thermal evaluation or with the naked eye.
Another cutting-edge tool employed by the Vinton Method™ to leave no stone unturned.
Because lasting relief starts with knowing the real cause. When others guess, we measure- every detail matters.

Chronic Pain Is Centralized Pain
Acute pain is pain that has existed for less than a few months and usually indicates tissue damage in the local tissue (back, neck, hand, etc).
Chronic pain is any pain that lasts longer than 6 months and it is no longer in the local tissue but centralizes into the brain and nervous system.
The best, most effective way to see the brain in real time is with a qEEG, known as a brain map.
Out of 132 medical schools in the United States less than 6 teach a class, more than a chapter's worth, on the treatment of chronic pain.
This is how we ended up with the opioid crisis and why many physicians give Gabapentin, Lyrica, or Cymbalta - which are all seizure medications - to try to alter the brain, usually leaving the patient in a fog or stupor with little pain reduction, let alone addressing the underlying cause.
This is another cutting - edge way that the Vinton Method™ uses precision diagnostics to get to the root cause of pain that won't go away.

Medical Grade Infrared Thermography
Dr. Vinton has been utilizing infrared thermography since the mid-1980s.
Hippocrates - the father of medicine - used to use a crude form of thermography by rubbing mud on a patient and seeing which areas dried the quickest.
Today's technology is leaps and bounds ahead and is truly cutting-edge.
It allows us to see what the human eye cannot see, nor can an X-ray, surface electromyography, x-ray, MRI or even your hands.
Different parts of the nervous system control tiny blood vessels which control the constriction or relaxation of those vessels and so by looking at a thermal image like the one to the left, the blue in the left hand indicates lack of blood flow which tells us that there's either damage to the blood vessels or there's damage to a nerve that's causing the blood vessels to remain constricted leading to dis-ease and pain.
Because lasting relief starts with knowing the real cause. When others guess, we measure- every detail matters.

Brain Map
This is an image of a brain, indicating traumatic brain injury.
Your brain runs your life - your thoughts, personality, bodily functions, sleep / wake cycles, aging, and every other function of your body.
It is your master control system.
The brain map is derived from the qEEG test described above.
The information is compared to others of the same sex and age to determine increased or decreased function in different parts of the brain and then we receive a color print out indicating the part of the brain that is damaged.
We then utilize hands on treatments, class IV lasers, PEMF therapy, audiovisual brain wave entrainment, cranial electric stimulation, hypnosis, relaxation exercises, as well as neurofeedback and biofeedback to retrain the brain much like you would retrain a muscle by doing push-ups.
We have been performing these evaluations since 1996 and are associated with the world renowned AMEN clinics. Perhaps you've seen Dr. Amen on PBS specials or read one of his more than a dozen best selling books.
This evaluation truly cutting edge for those who have chronic pain, a head injury, concussion, stroke, Alzheimer's, dementia, ADD/ADHD - in fact it can detect Alzheimer's and dementia decades before the first symptom appears or any other form of testing can detect damage.
And because we're utilizing cutting-edge treatment that gets to the root cause we're able to slow and/or reverse many of those conditions.
Anyone of these diagnostic tests are world-class. All of them under one roof with decades of experience, more than a dozen multi-modal, non-surgical, non pharmacological treatment options above and beyond standard treatment options with physicians, pain management specialists, surgeons and chiropractors all working together, truly makes for something special.

And A Whole Lot More
What you have seen so far is just the tip of the Vinton Method™.
Other cutting edge evaluations include 3-D laser scans of the arches of your feet that can change the way your feet and the entire kinetic chain up your legs, spine, all the way to your head, strike the ground every time you stand or walk, and from which customized Foot Leveler orthotics are made to address all three arches of your feet, producing dramatic improvements in motion, function, and pain.
Other tests include digital X-ray leg length evaluation with measurements down to the one half of a millimeter. It is estimated that 91% of people physically have one thigh or shin bone longer than the other creating imbalance against the constant force of gravity, causing stress on the joints, on the muscles and on the spine either directly causing chronic pain or significant contributing to it with 99% of physicians never evaluating - let alone by digital X-ray to within one half of a millimeter - and then applying the correct lift to correct that efficiency.
Then we move into the Vinton Method™ comprehensive metabolic blood tests that are five to six times more exhaustive than your family doctor orders, including hair analysis and urinalysis to check environmental toxins, heavy metals, parasites and other findings that regardless of how long your physician has been treating you, the mere fact of them not checking leaves them completely unaware of any diseases or deficiencies that you have, instead waiting until you have a full blown disease then going into crisis mode- sometimes too late - to try to treat the symptom while still will not ever addressing underlying lifestyle causes.
It's all part of our standard care package. We've been doing this for several decades now, with the Cleveland Clinic recently beginning to offer this in-depth look at your blood work - as are many others across the country - looking at extensive lab work and other testing including whole body imaging to uncover disease processes which always began decades before symptoms appear.
Once found, we have programs to help slow down or completely reverse most of these metabolic conditions like diabetes, inflammatory arthritis, fatty livers, high cholesterol, metabolic inflammatory disorders which lead to joint pains, stiffness, slower healing and a whole lot more.
This is all combined with the Vinton Method™ head to toe evaluation - it's all connected - giving our doctors a more complete understanding of your neurologic, neuromuscular, metabolic, joint, and other functions allowing our doctors a breadth and a depth of diagnostic insight combined with the technology you've seen so far on this page that is second to none.
Having taught worldwide for the better part of 37 years, we have seen some clinics having bits or pieces of what the Vinton Method™ offers but we have yet to meet one that houses all of the diagnostic capabilities that the Pain Relief and Wellness Strategies Center offers, which is why patients refer and travel from around the world to have evaluations in our office in order to get results that they were unable to get closer to home.
