How is Multiple Impulse Therapy Different?

One of the frequent questions that patients have is "Will the treatment hurt?"  Since The basis for Multiple Impulse Therapy is a precisely controlled low energy impulse, In general, the therapy will not cause you any more pain than you are in right now.  Both the analysis and treatment impulses can be as low as five pounds which is hardly noticeable.  Patients report that the feeling is closer to a soothing deep massage than a conventional manual adjustment.  The therapy consists of a rapid repetition or train of small impulses rather than a single high energy thrust.  These impulses stimulate reflexes and relax the muscles around the joint thereby allowing the relief of muscle spasms that place abnormal loads on joint systems.  Once the abnormal loading of the joints is corrected and the joint is restored to normal motion, the related joint pain is usually relieved.  You and your clinician can see the effectiveness of the impulses as they relax the joint system.  Since the therapy is applied through many impulses, there is no single adjustment and no "crack" when the joint is treated.
