Instrument Adjusting

Instrument Adjusting is very effective and very gentle. I would like to introduce the most advanced technology in Chiropractic adjusting. It is made by Sigma Instruments and is called The Ultralign. It is utilized for the analysis and adjustment of the musculoskeletal system.

It allows the chiropractor to adjust the patient in an effective and gentle way. It utilizes a precise oscillating force which allows the doctor to find, adjust, and reassess the area to make sure the subluxation is corrected. This is done without any pain to the patient making it easier and more effective than ever since the patient doesn't resist the adjustment. It is extremely effective for adjusting extremities (ankles, feet, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, and knees). It reduces fixation and enables motion as a result.

This produces a constant, standardized care for the patient. It is virtually pain free which is so important to the patient. There is no fear or apprehension as a result. There is improved speed in recovery. It is less invasive than manual adjustment which adds to the comfort for the patient.

Simply stated, this may be the most gentle and effective adjustment you have ever received!

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Kunkel, Jr. know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
