Your Chiropractor In Green Valley, AZ

Impulse IQ Adjustment treatments are performed using a handheld device that looks like a gun with a rubber tip. While the device looks simple, the movement and force during the treatment is actually controlled by a computer processor. The processor receives information from a sensor located in the tip, which relays the degree of movement in the vertebra or joint and the speed at which the vertebra or joint moves.

As the information is processed, the tip of the IQ Adjusting Instrument varies its speed and the pressure applied. This makes the adjustment very fast.

When undergoing your IQ adjustment treatment, our chiropractor will determine which vertebrae or extremity joint needs to be adjusted or realigned. He will then place the device in the location of the misalignment and activate it. The adjustor will send an initial thrust into the vertebrae or joint. That initial thrust will then be measured, and the device will vary its speed according to the joint’s movement. In general, as the spine or extremity joint becomes more mobile, the thrusting or pulsing action of the device will increase. Once the device has determined that the vertebra or joint is at maximum mobility, it automatically turns itself off. This means that your joints will not be overly manipulated, and you will receive the maximum possible benefit from each and every adjustment.

As the device works to manipulate and adjust the joint, the individual may hear or feel popping in their spine, and the IQ adjustor produces clicking as it operates. All of these sounds are completely normal.

Cold laser therapy is an FDA-approved treatment that uses low levels of light to stimulate healing.

According to the more than 4000 studies on pub.med.gov, it can be concluded that the majority of laboratory and clinical studies have demonstrated that *LLLT has a positive effect on acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain*.Jun 9, 2015

The molecular and cellular mechanisms of LLLT suggest that *photons are absorbed by the mitochondria*. They stimulate more ATP production and low levels of ROS, which then activates transcription factors,such as NF-κB, to induce many gene transcript products responsible for the beneficial effects of LLLT.

The skin absorbs these photons via a photo-chemical effect, not photo-thermal; therefore, *cold laser therapy does not cause heat damage to the tissues*.Aug 27, 2021
