request an appointmentWhat is chiropractic instrument adjusting?
Chiropractic instrument adjusting is a form of chiropractic care that uses specialized instruments and technology instead of just your chiropractor’s hands to align your spine and joints.
Chiropractic adjustments are precise and gentle in their delivery when using an instrument or device. This results in pain reduction, better mobility, and relief of symptoms from various conditions.
Like other forms of chiropractic adjustment, chiropractic instrument adjusting relieves pain and dysfunction originating in the spine. Many nerve roots exit your spine, and when your spine is out of alignment, nearby structures can irritate those nerve roots. This causes widespread symptoms in areas other than your back.
What should I expect from chiropractic instrument adjusting?
At Integrated Chiropractic, Dr. Joseph uses the Impulse Adjusting Instrument® to provide chiropractic instrument adjusting services. The Impulse Adjusting Instrument has a microcomputer inside the device that delivers gentle pressure to various areas of your body to improve their alignment.
The Impulse Adjusting Instrument works twice as quickly as comparable instruments and uses thrust that is faster than your body’s natural tendency to tense up during treatment. There are three different force settings on the device that Dr. Joseph can adjust according to your needs.
Each adjustment with the Impulse Adjusting Instrument feels like a light tap in the treatment area and is painless.
