Space-age chiropractic technology

Space, the final frontier? Not really, but research aimed at making space exploration possible has resulted in incredible technology that you can now find at your chiropractor’s office.

Today’s chiropractic treatment equipment is advancing at a rapid rate. Technology developed by NASA and the aerospace industry are helping to reshape the face of health treatments today. One such advancement is the Pro-Adjuster from Pro-Solutions, Inc.

The Pro-Adjuster is the most advanced piece of chiropractic evaluation and treatment equipment in existence today. It is allows the chiropractor to produce amazing health results. It uses the same type of technology that engineers use to determine and handle weakness and stress on critical spacecraft parts. The information is graphically displayed, so that the doctor of Chiropractic can detect and treat the problem area with detailed, repeatable accuracy on every patient visit and you can see the results.

One of the benefits of this new technology is that it is pain free. The “popping” noise you hear when receiving a manual adjustment is no longer a worry. Electronically adjusting your spine is safe, simple, fast, and efficient.

Your proper spinal alignment is vital to allow the correct function of your body’s nervous system. Your nervous system needs to be able to send and receive nerve impulses to enable your brain and body to function in harmony with each other. The lack of this natural harmony is seen in such symptoms as headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances, sinus and allergy problems, mood swings, pain and digestive problems.

The next step to complete chiropractic care is correction of the body’s spinal posture. The shape of the human spine consists of primary and secondary curves. The neck and low-back are examples of secondary curves. These develop as newborns learn how to hold up their head and learn how to crawl and then walk. If we interfere with this process by leaving children in the convenience equipment that is available today - walkers, strollers, car seats, swings - we can inflict serious future structural problems on our children. The infant needs to develop these curves in order to have a balanced spinal structure and a properly functioning nerve system.

The nerve control of the body runs the length of the spinal column. It is called the spinal cord. If the nerves or spinal cord are compressed through spinal misalignment, the results can be a reduction in nerve function and a loss of correct organ/body function. These functions are apparent in the slow and often unrecognizable symptoms of declining health. By correcting the spinal alignment and posture through individualized traction, exercise, stretching and nutrition, health can be improved and the quality of life revitalized.
