Sigma Pro Adjuster

ProAdjuster
An adjustment with the Sigma Pro Adjuster produces a quick thrust similar to the way a chiropractor uses their hands to adjust the vertebrae in your back. The benefit of the instrument is that it performs a high-velocity, low-amplitude motion that is targeted to a very small area, releasing trigger points that are often the cause of muscle spasms.

As opposed to traditional chiropractic adjustment techniques, the Sigma Pro Adjuster does not cause the same popping and cracking noises that can make some people feel uncomfortable. It is a gentle, mechanical method of easing the joints back into alignment, and it works on a wide range of body areas, not only on the spine.

Several studies have shown that instrument adjusting is just as effective as traditional chiropractic techniques for easing pain and increasing range of motion in patients who have sought chiropractic care. Its speed, gentleness and accuracy are also recommended for populations that may have trouble with the use of traditional chiropractic techniques, such as children and the elderly. The use of instrument adjusting, such as with the Sigma Pro Adjuster, allows for fewer side-effects and less post-treatment muscle soreness.

    Lee Clouthier
  • "It has been 22 years now. I hurt my back at work. The pain was unbearable. I had never experienced anything like it before. A friend of mine asked his Chiropractor if he knew anyone in my area that I could see. He only gave one name. Dr. Blackman. Before I knew it, Dr. Blackman called me on the phone, on a Sunday night no less! He told me to come in the next day and he would examine me. But it was the following sentence that meant the most. “If I can’t help you, I will at least point you in the right direction” What more could I ask! So started a long journey. 5 days a week, then 4, then 3, then 2, then once a week. Now, I go once every 3 weeks for general maintenance. Thanks Dr. Blackman to You and your great staff for all your great care. The one thing about back pain is that recovery is slow. You have to be patient and trusting. Remember, taking pain pills are not a long term solution! I highly recommend Dr. Blackman and his staff!!"
