Instrument Adjustments

An alternative to traditional manual adjustment (manipulation), low force instrument adjusting techniques have been developed in order to provide patients a gentler, more comfortable treatment. Often times, patients may tense up (muscle guard) prior to a manual adjustment. The more a patient tenses up, the more force is needed from the chiropractor to perform the adjustment. Instrument adjustments deliver a mechanical, specific thrust that are a great deal faster than manual adjustments. This eliminates the inclination to muscle guard, allowing for a comfortable, and pain free treatment.

Our practice specializes in the use of the Impulse Adjusting Instrument ® and Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique ®. These are two of the most popular and researched chiropractic techniques available, and our doctors are certified at the highest levels to utilize them. Not only do these techniques allow for increased specificity when contacting the affected area (i.e. low back, neck), but also control over how much force to use during treatments. This enables us to provide reliable care for all who seek our service, from infants to adults to seniors. Instrument adjustments also provide safe, effective treatment when dealing with extremity injuries including shoulders, arms, wrists, knees, and ankles, and even jaw/TMJ pain.
