Breakthrough in chiropractic care without twisting and cracking of the spine By Dr. Peter Joffe Imagine 30 to 40 years ago, if we told you that dentistry would be painless, that doctors would watch television to perform surgeries, that brain surgery for tumors could be done with a laser,and that knifeless surgery could be performed,you would probably not have believed it.By the same token,would you believe it if chiropractic adjustments could be done comfortably while you were sitting in an upright position without any popping or cracking sounds,and no twisting of the body of neck?Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized.This new way is with a sophisticated piece of equipment calledThe ProAdjuster. The ProAdjuster is a computerized system that pinpoints, treats and monitors spinal problems safely and painlessly. This is an instrument that applies gentle pressure to the spine during the analysis.From this information, the computer detects the precise locations in the spine that aren't moving properly.By determining the locations of the spine dysfunction,a ProAdjuster chiropractor uses a handheld instrument to apply a gentle tapping sensation to the specific areas of the spine that is affected.The ProAdjuster taps on the spine until the computer senses the spine is moving properly. When normal movement is detected by the computer, the instrument stops tapping. After the adjustment is performed,a ProAdjuster chiropractor will reanalyze the spine with the instrument. Immediately, the technology lets the doctor and patient see on the computer screen precisely that the spine has been returned to its normal motion and function.Since this technique is gentle, it can especially benefit children and patients with arthritis and osteoporosis. Without the twisting motion of the spine, the ProAdjuster technique is ideal for people who are not comfortable with the traditional forms of chiropractic care. According to many chiropractors,not only are the results with the ProAdjuster excellent,but the fear element has been removed from the minds of many patients. The goal for a ProAdjuster patient is to improve the function and movement of the spine.The purpose of the spine is to protect our nervous system.Our nervous system is considered the master control of our bodies. When the spine isn't moving properly, it puts stress onto the nervous system.For many people, this leads to a variety of pain, symptoms and health problems.Dysfunctions of the spine can be from a variety of reasons including accidents and trauma, poor posture,a sports or repetitive motion injury and stress. If you are looking to enjoy more quality time with your family,have more energy and less fatigue,perform better at work and live life to the fullest with less limitations, then give chiropractic and the ProAdjuster a try.
