Computerized Spinal Adjusting Instrument

Our computerized spinal adjusting instruments are truly the state-of-the-art in chiropractic.

The adjusting head generates a light tap (mechanical impulse), which measures how easily or hard the tested spinal bone (or other joints in your body) moves.  The amount of resistance to movement is plotted in graphs on the monitor.

Subluxated/fixated vertebrae which do not move as well show up as large bar graphs, normal moving vertebrae as small, approximately the same size, bar graphs.  The chiropractor selects the subluxated vertebrae to adjust.  The same adjusting head used to determine the subluxated vertebrae can now be used to adjust the vertebrae.

This is the cool part, from the analysis the computer has performed it sets up repetition per second, the resonant frequency, that will return the vertebrae back to normal or more normal movement and alignment as easily as possible.

It is like watching a dog trot across a rope suspension bridge.  The gentle trotting steps the dog takes cause the whole bridge to start bouncing up and down.  The dog's trotting rhythm matches the resonant frequency of the bridge. 

It gets even cooler!  The computer measures resistance every time it gently taps the vertebrae while doing the adjustment.  The computer in real time, graphs the results and turns itself off after 10 repetitions within 2 to 4 percent of the same value.

What this means is the vertebrae was originally resistant to movement and has a high bar graph representing that.  As the bar graph value drops, it means the vertebrae is moving easier.  Once the bar graph values stop dropping, the vertebrae has returned to as good of movement as it can at that time, so the computer stops the adjustment.

The chiropractors can, if they choose, use the original bar graph analysis and adjust the subluxated/fixated vertebrae by hand.  Most people like the computerized instrument adjustment better and also show quicker improvement.
