Gone are the days of twisting, pulling, and cracking. These factors that often intimidate people from seeing a chiropractor may be a thing of the past. Space-age technology has brought on huge advancements in chiropractic, a wildly popular treatment option for musculoskeletal conditions.
Chiropractic has always relied on a chiropractor's hands to diagnose and treat a variety of ailments. It has proven to be the most effective treatment for low back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Chiropractic has also been shown to be highly effective in treating many other musculoskeletal conditions. It is even effective in controlling conditions such as asthma and fibromyalgia. However, the chiropractic profession often struggled to find a consistent and accurate diagnostic and treatment tool, one that can overcome human error. In short, the quality of your care used to depend largely on the treatment style and accuracy of your chiropractor on any given day.
This all changed with the development of the Pro-Adjuster. Dr. Garret Rock of Louisville Chiropractic Clinic in Louisville, CO is among the first chiropractors in Colorado to be trained to use the Pro-Adjuster. His clinic, Louisville Chiropractic Clinic is one of the few chiropractic offices in Colorado to use the Pro-Adjuster. As Dr. Rock explains, "chiropractors have always relied on perception to diagnose and treat spinal problems. We know well that perceptions between individuals can vary greatly. Research has shown that inter-examiner reliability is between 7 and 12 percent. This is unacceptable. The inter-examiner reliability for the Pro-Adjuster is over 98 percent."
The Pro-Adjuster uses a piezoelectric sensor to detect even the most subtle problems in the spine. Once a problem is found, the Pro-Adjuster applies an oscillating force, which is a large force delivered in smaller increments, to correct the problem. "The oscillating force," says Dr. Rock, "allows the correction to be very gentle. Breaking the force down into small increments allows us to put in enough force to correct the problem, yet the patient hardly feels the procedure, just the beneficial effects." Just as painless dentistry has become hugely popular, painless chiropractic has taken off as well. Since adding the Pro-Adjuster, Louisville Chiropractic Clinic has become a very popular chiropractic clinic. Dr. Rock notes that "patients love it because it is a shift away from the twisting and popping of traditional chiropractic treatments, yet it is highly effective. There are millions of people out there experiencing problems such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and fibromyalgia, who are afraid to go to a chiropractor because of the twisting and popping. Many of these people's lives can be changed by chiropractic." Fear no more, the Pro-Adjuster is here.
