How does the decompression work?

This instrument uses motion, flexion – distraction, which helps the disc bulge / herniation to retract, taking pressure off of the surrounding spinal soft tissues / nerves, reducing the pain level.

How is the procedure performed?

The doctor uses information obtained from your examination / x-rays / MRI to determine which disc is causing the most trouble. Ice will be placed over the disc level to be worked on for 15 minutes. After that, the actual procedure is relatively quick, typically within 5 minutes!

When will I notice a difference?

Most patients start to feel an improvement (usually a significant improvement) after the first or second session.

What type of condition is the V.D.P. used for?

Disc bulge or disc herniation, often called a ruptured disc/disc extrusion or the old term “slipped disc”.

Chiropractic Impulse Adjusting

Just as lasers have replaced scalpels in some surgeries, advanced technology has become available to chiropractors to assist in delivering chiropractic adjustments.

Your chiropractor and thousands of other Doctors around the world now use the Impulse Adjusting Instrument® to care for their patients. This patented and FDA registered device was specifically created to deliver gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities to relieve pain and restore function. The Impulse Adjusting Instrument® is controlled by micro-computer circuitry housed within the device. It produces a controlled force that chiropractors use to treat different areas of the body.

Impulse adjusting is a new technique developed to provide controlled treatments to the specific areas where patients are experiencing problems and pain.

What does it feel like?

Chiropractic adjustments with the Impulse Adjusting Instrument® feel like a light tapping sensation on the area that is being treated. In most cases, the treatment is painless and after the adjustment many patients feel immediate relief of pain and improved mobility. Others report a sense of well-being or a soothing calm feeling. Of course, results vary from case to case, and chronic conditions, inflammation or muscle spasms may delay any positive effects.

Our chiropractors use the Impulse Adjusting Instrument to provide this treatment rather than the traditional manual methods.

Impulse adjustments are high-tech. There is no popping or cracking with these adjustments, but rather very precise and targeted adjustments designed to specifically care for targeted and specific areas.

Years of research have gone into the development of the Impulse Instruments to create gentle chiropractic adjustments that are safe and effective for patients of all ages.

The integration of care treats the cause

Millions of Nerves travel throughout the human frame to control the function and physiology of your body. Spinal joints that are out of alignment or not moving properly can affect your health by irritating delicate spinal nerves. When irritated, these nerves alert your brain that something is wrong. Symptoms, including pain, are usually the result. Nerve signals are also sent to your muscles to stabilize and protect the area. You may feel stiff, sore, and tired. As opposed to taking pain masking drugs, which can be dangerous to your health, Chiropractic care seeks to locate the source of your symptoms and address the underlying cause, so the problem doesn’t keep recurring.

Our doctors will consult with you about your health and perform a complete examination to identify your problem areas. You’ll be given a report of the doctor’s findings and an opportunity to have all of your questions answered. Chiropractic adjusting with traditional treatment and the Impulse Adjusting Instrument® aims to restore your body’s balance and function to correct the underlying cause of your symptoms with treatments that are as painless as possible. Getting you back to feeling yourself again quickly and effectively are our primary goals.

Chiropractic treatment combined with both physical therapy and medical care has proven to a very powerful tool for treatment against physical pain.
