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, the Pro Adjuster 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, the Pro Adjuster can isolate a problem area faster and more accurately than manual procedures.

The way the Pro Adjuster 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 Pro Adjustyer 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 the Pro Adjuster 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?
