HOW DOES IT WORK?
When a chiropractor palpates your spine, they are checking for joint
fluidity, motion, and or rigidity. Improper motion affecting the nerve
function is called a subluxation. In a similar fashion to palpation, this technology can determine whether the vertebra's motion is too rigid or too
fluid. The spine should not be too rigid (hypomobile). However,
instead of utilizing the doctor's hands and judgement to determine what areas
are hypermobile or hypomobile, the Pro Adjuster measures precise levels of motion
by using a piezoelectric sensor with computer accuracy. 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. Therefore, it can also
isolate a problem area faster and more accurately than manual procedures.
The way this instrument determines whether the vertebra is too
rigid or too fluid is by applying a light mechanical test force to the
joints directly over the patient's spine. This is different from manual
palpation, because when applying hands on pressure, the body goes into a normal
defense (posture mechanism). It causes the muscles to contract and guard
against an impact. If you have ever "flinched" at something,
you know exactly what is meant by this. The piezoelectric sensor in the instrument responds and registers information faster than your body's
ability to react, and sends this information to the computer for
interpretation. Therefore, a precise and accurate picture of the extent
of rigidity or fluidity of each vertebra is reflected.
Chiropractors that use this technology 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
multi-million dollar spacecraft. Doesn't that give you a sense of being
special and give you a higher level of confidence? We are fortunate to have an Orlando Chiropractor who utilizes this technology.
