“As the research in this study shows, Impulse®, stands heads and shoulders above our previous inventions,” Keller said. “We developed Impulse® to make instrument adjusting easier for chiropractors to apply and introduce gentle chiropractic.

With the rise in popularity of using adjusting instruments in chiropractic practice improvements that better suit the patient are of great interest. Today, gentle chiropractic adjusting instruments are the second most common type of adjusting technique, utilized by 72% of chiropractors on 21% of their patients.

Chiropractic adjusting, a more specific variant of spinal manipulation, is the most commonly performed intervention by chiropractors. Over the past three decades adjusting instruments have been developed to assist chiropractors in delivering forces to the spine that have been referred to as gentle chiropractic.

Benefits of chiropractic adjusting instruments include a more specific and targeted force application, controlled force and speed. These benefits culminate in easier adjustments on patients and reduction of headaches, back pain and neck pain.

The faster speed allows the adjustment to be delivered faster than the patient’s tendency to tighten up and resist the adjustment.

As your Keller Chiropractor my goal is to help you get well and do this through a new technology of what we refer to as “Gentle Chiropractic”. Research reveals that the number one reason that people put off going to the chiropractor, is fear of the unknown, specifically fear of manual manipulation.
