Instrument-Assisted Adjusting

From the plain-English glossary.

Definition

Adjusting delivered with a small handheld spring or electronic instrument producing a precise, light impulse instead of a manual thrust.

Why it matters to you

A genuinely useful low-force option — for patients who prefer gentleness, and joints where manual thrust isn't appropriate.
