Dr. Thorburn's Health News - State of the Art Chiropractic (Chiropractor Burbank Ca)

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 1, 2012 - Here is some news on the latest technology being used in chiropractic care and the benefits it can provide. To restore the neck, back and hips into precisely the right position, the latest high-tech method available is what’s called an “Impulse” adjusting instrument. It is much faster than manual adjustments (with the hands), uses less force, and can target just the right specific areas with its rubber tip.

The earlier form of adjusting instrument was called an “Activator”, which delivered just a single thrust. The “Impulse” has been found to be twice as fast as an Activator, a hundred times as fast as manual adjustments, and can deliver several “low-force” thrusts rapidly. The “Impulse” mildly resembles a glue gun, but with a small rubber tip at the end. When applied, it has a rat-tat-tat sound as it rapidly moves the bone into place.

This is particularly beneficial for those with tight or tense muscles such as in the neck, as the speediness involved allows the adjustment to occur faster than the muscles can tighten up to prevent it. This means much less muscle soreness during the adjustment and afterward.

In a number of clinical trials, instrument adjusting fared equally as well as manual adjusting techniques in reducing pain and improving function and freer movement. And because the force of the instrument is fully adjustable, it can be used to adjust babies, the elderly, and everyone in between with much success. There are people of all ages who prefer a gentle, low force, yet effective adjustment.
