.jpg) Hello, I am Dr. Bill Carbary, a chiropractor practicing in Little Rock, Arkansas. In 2002 I attended a practice management seminar that got me all pumped up about working with my patients on improving body structure over the long term. In connection with this I felt the need for a postural analyzing unit and I searched for what was available on the market. Now the "SAM" unit appeared to be the best but also the most costly ($1500 to $3000) so I focused on more reasonably priced units. I finally decided on a unit made my REEDCO, Inc. It was a plexiglass grid that was installed a hinged supported mounted on a wall for in office use.
It was "ok" but I found it to be lacking in some features that I wished to have in such a unit. One feature I wanted was a more portable option--I wished to take the unit "on the road" so to speak. I desired to use it at health fairs. To accomplish this I located some supports that were portable and easy to set up. This made my unit "more ok" but it still fell short of what I wanted.
The grid had permanet horizontal lines and although I could put someone behind the grid and kind of get a vague reading on postural abnormalities, I couldn't get a very exact reading, nor could the person I was analyzing see the results.
I went back to the drawing board. I obtained a blank plexiglass sheet (google is wonderful) and experimented with movable lines and discovered something. When I tried a system that involved a series of individual straight movable lines (the typical method used) I found that there was an inherent error built into such a system because when viewing the height of a body part (let's say the top of the shoulder) first on the right and then on the left of the body because there is no exact method to position the height of the viewing eye when moving from one side to the other the reading could not be precise nor reproducable from one time to the next.
I went back to the drawing board. What I came up with was simple and worked great. I used two movable lines , and I PORPORTIONED NUMBERS ON THE SIDE TO EQUATE TO DEGREE TILT SO THAT EXACT MEASUREMENTS CAN BE EASILY VIEWED, RECORDED AND COMPARED TO FUTURE EVALUATIONS (example 9/23/05, Iam Patient; 6 degree L shouder low). Enough with the words; let me show you:       
After I developed this system my first impulse was to make it in mass and sell it on my own. After investigating this option however I discovered that it would be too costly for me to buy the parts in low quanity and hire the labor to put it together so...
I contacted REEDCO, Inc (yes the same company where I bought the original "grid") and they liked my idea so much they bought it. They are selling it through health pubs and paying me royalties and...they have allowed me to be one of the distributors.
