Spinal adjustments are one of the most common chiropractic techniques to help with pain, stiffness, and other symptoms. There are many different techniques to accomplish a spinal adjustment. Dr. Seth Moliver of Moliver Chiropractic in Davidson, NC, uses manual adjustments as well as the ProAdjuster serving Davidson, NC residents. ProAdjuster is an instrument-assisted spinal manipulation device with many advantages.

What is ProAdjuster?

ProAdjuster is a device designed with advanced technology that automatically detects the amount of adjustment needed in your spine. It uses a Piezoelectric sensor to measure how much each vertebra or joint is moving in real-time.  The system adjusts the frequency as needed and automatically stops the treatment once your spine is aligned.

Benefits of ProAdjuster

ProAdjuster adjusting for Davidson, NC, residents eases the spine back into alignment. It uses gentle impact energy to manipulate your spine, and Dr. Moliver is able to monitor the progress on a screen. After the treatment, you can see a comparison of your spine before and after the treatment.

ProAdjuster vs. Manual Adjustments

ProAdjuster and manual adjustments rely on gentle impact to align your spine. The key difference with ProAdjuster is that the design of the ProAdjuster allows computer driven precision without the use of excessive pressure on the spinal column. ProAdjuster can also be used on other joints in your body.

What Can Be Treated with ProAdjuster?

If you have back pain or suffer from pain in the joints of your extremities, ProAdjuster may be right for you. The treatment reduces pain, improves mobility, and relieves pressure on your spine and joints.

What to Expect During a ProAdjuster Treatment

The ProAdjuster device is moved along your spine or the affected joint. A computer senses which vertebrae are out of alignment, and it applies a specific vibration pattern to realign the joint. For patients who are not comfortable with a manual adjustment, ProAdjuster can provide a more relaxed and comfortable experience. After the treatment, Dr. Moliver reviews the graphs on the computer screen to demonstrate the improvement with the treatment.

How Long Does a ProAdjuster Treatment Take?

The ProAdjuster system detects when there is no movement in your spine and automatically stops the spinal manipulation. A treatment with this device may take the same amount of time as manual adjustment, or it may take less time.

The ProAdjuster—A breakthrough in healing

Imagine thirty to forty 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, that fetuses could be operated on within the uterus, that knife-less surgery could be performed-you would not have believed us. By the same token. would you believe us if we told you that Chiropractic treatments and reorientation of the nervous system could be done comfortably, while you were sitting in an upright position without any turning or sudden movements? Would you believe that newborns as well as the elderly with osteoporosis can be treated safely and gently?

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.

The potential for the human being to end pain and to achieve their peak nervous system function has never been greater. Humans are consistently asking their bodies to perform at higher levels. Now we have the techniques and the technology to match the demand placed on the spine and the nervous system. We now have the capability to fine tune our own energy and enhance every aspect of our lives.

Complex Technology, Simple Solution. The ProAdjuster.

You can achieve maximum health for your body now and in the future beginning with a simple anatomical concept. The nervous system (the brain and all the nerves) controls every function of your body. If this network is interfered with, pain ensues, as does bodily malfunction, resulting in sickness and diminished overall health. The “something” you can do to improve performance and maximize health is to maximize the health of your nervous system. There are several ways to do this. The number one way is allowing a doctor of Chiropractic using the ProAdjuster equipment to analyze and treat your nervous system.

How does the ProAdjuster work?

To better understand, let’s examine the idea of palpation. When a Chiropractor palpates your spine, they are checking for joint fluidity, motion and or rigidity. Improper motion effecting the nerve function is called a subluxation. In a similar fashion to palpation. the ProAdjuster can determine whether the vertebra’s motion is too rigid or too fluid. The spine should not be too rigid (hypo-mobile). However, instead of utilizing the doctor’s judgment as to what areas are hyper-mobile or hypo-mobile, the ProAdjuster measures precise levels of motion. Therefore. the ProAdjuster can isolate a problem area faster and more accurately than manual procedures.

If you have ever “flinched” at something, you know exactly what is meant by this. The piezoelectric sensor in the ProAdjuster instrument responds and registers information faster than your body’s ability to react. Therefore, a precise and accurate picture of the extent of rigidity or fluidity of each vertebra is reflected.

A light force is introduced into the vertebra to check motion. it is reflected back to the piezoelectric sensor, which measures the reflective force, sending it to the computer for interpretation, all before the muscle can respond in its normal way. Isn’t that incredible? This is the same technology and same type of instrument that NASA engineers have used in the space program in order to evaluate the integrity of the ceramic cooling tiles on the outside of the space shuttle. The aviation industry, as well as civil engineers have used this technology in order to test metal fatigue in aircraft and bridge spans.

Chiropractors are now able to use this highly sophisticated technology applied to the human body in order to determine proper function. We can have the same level of care given to our bodies as multimillion dollar spacecraft. Doesn’t that give you a sense of being and give you a higher level of confidence?

How can anything so gentle and comfortable change my spine?

The ProAdjuster utilizes a precise oscillating force with uninterrupted motion. It is able to increase the mobility of the spinal segments by reducing or enabling motion in the abnormal areas. In other words, the ProAdjuster is “unsticking” the joint. Have you ever seen a woodpecker tapping in an oscillating fashion on a tree? It is hard to believe, but you can watch them bore right through the hardest wood! The ProAdjuster taps in through the same way but uses soft tips that are comfortable to the human body and do not create damage.
