Complex Technology, Simple Solution. The Slenderlign.

    You can achieve optimum health and well-being for your body now with a simple anatomical concept. The nervous system oversees all of the body’s functions. If this intricate network is interfered with, pain emerges, as does bodily malfunction, resulting in sickness and diminished overall health. The “something” you can do to improve performance and maximize health is to maximize the health of your nervous system. The number one way is allowing a Doctor of Chiropractic using the Slenderlign equipment to analyze and treat your nervous system.

How does the Slenderlign work?

    When a Doctor of Chiropractic palpates your spine, they are checking for joint fluidity, motion and/or motion rigidity. Improper motion affecting the nerve function is called a subluxation. In a similar fashion to palpation, the Slenderlign can determine whether the vertebra's motion is too rigid or too fluid. The spine should not be too rigid (hypo-mobile). However, instead of utilizing the doctor's judgment as to what areas are hyper-mobile or hypo-mobile, the Slenderlign measures exact levels of mobility. Therefore, the Slenderlign can isolate a problem area faster and more precise than manual chiropractic procedures.

Combine Tradition with Technology

    If you have ever “flinched” at something, you will understand exactly what is meant by this. The piezoelectric sensor in the Slenderlign instrument responds and registers information faster than your body's ability to react. Therefore, a precise and accurate picture of the extent of rigidity or fluidity of each spinal vertebra is reflected.

How does it work?

    A light force is introduced into the vertebra to check motion, it is relayed back to the piezoelectric sensor, which measures the reflective force, sending it to the computer for interpretation, all before the body can respond via muscular contraction. Isn't that incredible? This is the same technology and same type of instrument that NASA engineers have used in the space program in order to evaluate the integrity of the ceramic cooling tiles on the outside of the space shuttle. The aviation industry, as well as civil engineers have used this technology in order to test metal fatigue in aircraft and bridge spans.

    Chiropractors are now able to use this highly sophisticated technology applied to the human body in order to determine proper function. We can have the same level of care given to our bodies as multi- million dollar spacecraft. Doesn't that give you a sense of being special and give you a higher level of confidence?

How can anything so gentle and comfortable change my spine?

    The Slenderlign uses a precise oscillating force with uninterrupted motion. It is able to increase the mobility of the spinal segments by reducing or enabling motion in the abnormal areas. In other words, the Slenderlign is “unsticking” the joint. Have you ever seen a woodpecker tapping in an oscillating fashion on a tree? It is hard to believe, but you can watch them bore right through the hardest wood! The Slenderlign taps in much the same way but uses soft tips that are comfortable to the human body and do not create damage.
