Impulse Adjusting

You will find that North Hills Chiropractic makes every attempt to stay current with the latest technological advances in chiropractic treatment.  There is a widely held perception that a visit to the chiropractor involves having your body contorted, twisted and turned – all culminating in a series of cracks and pops. But just as lasers have replaced scalpels in some surgeries, advanced technology has become available to chiropractors to assist in delivering chiropractic adjustments.

Instrument Adjusting has been a common form of chiropractic since the late 1960’s, when the first instrument received FDA clearance. Today the most advanced instrument available to patients is the Impulse iQ® adjusting instrument, which was developed to provide gentle and precise computer-aided chiropractic adjustments to relieve pain and restore function.

The Impulse iQ® is controlled by a micro-computer circuitry housed within the device that produces a controlled force that chiropractors can use to treat different areas of the body. Computer-assisted chiropractic adjusting with Impulse iQ gives the doctor objective feedback about how your problem is responding in real-time for a custom tailored treatment.

Dr. Sullivan has been well trained in both manual (hands on) adjusting techniques as well as instrument adjusting using the Impulse iQ.  Both methods of treatment have their advantages and Dr Sullivan will work with you to determine if one or a combination of both methods are right for you.
