Gentle Precision. Powerful Results.
At Phoenixville Chiropractic, we understand that every patient is different—and not everyone wants or needs the traditional "crack" of a manual adjustment. That’s why we offer instrument-assisted spinal adjustments as a gentle, effective alternative for patients who prefer a low-force, high-precision approach to chiropractic care.
What Are Instrument-Assisted Adjustments?
Instrument-assisted spinal adjustments use a handheld device to deliver quick, targeted impulses to specific areas of the spine or joints. These tools apply a controlled force that helps correct misalignments, reduce tension, and restore proper motion—without twisting, popping, or discomfort.
At Phoenixville Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew Timar uses these instruments with clinical precision to:
-
Improve spinal alignment
-
Reduce nerve irritation
-
Relieve muscle tension and joint stiffness
-
Enhance posture and mobility
-
Support overall nervous system function
This technique is ideal for patients of all ages, including seniors, children, and those with conditions requiring a gentler touch.
Who Benefits from Instrument-Assisted Adjustments?
This style of adjustment is a great fit for:
-
Individuals who are sensitive to traditional manual adjustments
-
Seniors with arthritis or osteoporosis
-
Patients in acute pain or during post-injury recovery
-
Children and those new to chiropractic care
-
Anyone looking for a comfortable, consistent alternative to hands-on manipulation
It’s also perfect for patients who want spinal care without the audible “crack” of a manual adjustment.
How It Works
Instrument-assisted adjustments are performed with tools such as the Activator® or other similar devices. These instruments deliver precise mechanical impulses at high speed with low force, allowing for highly specific corrections without joint strain.
Dr. Timar will identify misalignments or areas of dysfunction during your evaluation and apply the instrument exactly where it’s needed—often with patients barely feeling the tap. Despite the gentleness of the technique, the results can be profound.
Conditions Treated with Instrument-Assisted Adjustments
This technique can effectively address a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Back and neck pain
-
Tension headaches
-
Sciatica
-
Postural problems
-
TMJ issues
-
Disc-related discomfort
-
Sports injuries
-
General stiffness and limited mobility
It’s also useful for maintaining spinal health even when you’re not in pain.
