Irmo Chiropractor Offers Breakthrough Technology
Since 2003, Associated Chiropractic Physicians Wellness Center has been the only office in the Irmo area offering the breakthrough Pro-Adjuster technology. The Pro-Adjuster is the most advanced piece of Chiropractic evaluation and treatment equipment in existence today. It uses 21st century technology to determine if each segment or spinal vertebrae is in proper alignment, so the nervous system is free to effectively transport nerve impulses throughout the body.
Often, patients suffer from health problems that they assume have nothing to do with their spine, but as Dr. Carew points out, “Misalignment of the vertebrae can cause pinching of nerves,” says Dr. Carew “That can lead to a malfunction of whatever body system that nerve is going to.”
A patient’s first visit to Associated Chiropractic Physicians Wellness Center begins with a brief video explaining Dr. Carew’s practice and the amazing Pro-Adjuster technology. “I talk with the patient about their symptoms and medical history” says Dr. Carew, “and then I perform a thorough chiropractic exam and take whatever x-rays are necessary.”
Once the problem has been determined, Dr. Carew explains the treatment options with the patient which may include various physiotherapies, nutritional recommendations and exercise. In fact, diagnosis and treatment are only part of what is offered at Associated Chiropractic Physicians Wellness Center. Education also plays a large part in a patient’s visit. Dr. Carew does an excellent job of explaining how the spine and nervous system work together and how her treatments affect the body to reduce symptoms and allow the body to function at its best.
While Dr. Carew provides traditional manual chiropractic adjustments for some patients, most treatments involve the Pro-Adjuster, primarily because that is preferred by more than 90% of the patients. The Pro-Adjuster allows the patient to sit upright in a comfortable chair which is a better alternative to the traditional method of flat-lying manual spinal manipulation. “It is especially comfortable for patients who are experiencing extreme lower back pain or happen to be pregnant,” says Dr. Carew. “It can be difficult for those patients to get in that position.”
The Pro-Adjuster was design by NASA and a team of Chiropractors to offer completely painless spinal analysis and treatment. “The Pro-Adjuster scans the spine using a hand-held instrument containing piezoelectric sensors that provide feedback to a computer about improper spinal motion,” Dr. Carew says. “This allows me to be extremely accurate with detection of spinal problems and with my diagnosis.”
What is remarkable about the Pro-Adjuster is that the patient can remain seated in the same position as Dr. Carew uses the same machine to then administer painless and effective treatment. “Another benefit of the Pro-Adjuster,” says Dr. Carew, “is that it can also be used for the treatment of TMJ, headaches, Sciatica, Elbow Tendonitis, and Rotator Cuff problems, just to name a few.”
