If the thought of a traditional chiropractic adjustment makes you hesitate, you’re not alone. Many people associate chiropractic care with forceful twisting or loud “pops.” But thanks to advances in technology, chiropractic care today can be precise, gentle, and incredibly effective without any of the discomfort or apprehension.
At Dorough Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew Dorough uses instrument-assisted adjustments to help patients throughout O’Fallon, St. Peters, St. Charles, Cottleville, Lake St. Louis, Wentzville, Dardenne Prairie, Weldon Spring, and surrounding areas experience comfortable, consistent results. His approach combines advanced technology with clinical expertise to create a modern experience tailored to every individual.
Traditional Adjustments: The Classic Approach
Traditional chiropractic adjustments involve manual manipulation, where a chiropractor applies controlled force to realign the spine. This hands-on method can be highly effective, but some patients, particularly those with previous injuries, osteoporosis, or degenerative conditions may prefer something more gentle.
That’s why technology assisted care has become such a powerful alternative.
Instrument-Assisted Adjustments: Gentle, Data-Driven Precision
Instrument-assisted adjustments use computer-guided technology such as the Sigma Instrument to analyze spinal motion and deliver precise, targeted impulses that help restore mobility. These tools provide consistent force and measurable feedback, ensuring each adjustment is customized to the patient’s exact needs.
This approach allows for:
- Gentle, low-force care: Ideal for patients sensitive to traditional adjustments
- High accuracy: The instrument identifies even subtle joint restrictions
- Consistent results: Every adjustment is computer controlled for precision
- Objective progress tracking: Real time data helps measure improvement over time
“With advancements in technology and a better understanding of spinal health, chiropractic care today is more precise, data-informed, and comfortable than ever. It’s a privilege to help adults experience relief and renewed confidence in their movement.”
– Dr. Andrew Dorough
