01About the technique

What is instrument assisted adjusting?

Instrument assisted adjusting is an advanced technique that uses a small, handheld instrument to deliver gentle, precise, and low-force corrections to the spine and other joints.

Unlike traditional manual adjustments that rely on the chiropractor’s hands and body, this method uses a controlled, mechanized impulse to target a specific area with unmatched accuracy. There’s no twisting and no heavy pressure, just a quick, focused correction.

That precision and comfort make it an excellent choice for patients who want an effective adjustment with the lightest possible touch, from young children to seniors.

02Conditions treated
