Chiropractor offers gentle adjustment

Dr. Bruce Kaplan, a Thousand Oaks chiropractor, is treating patients with the ProAdjuster, a new chiropractic instrument that allows chiropractors to objectively measure spinal problems.

The ProAdjuster offers an alternative adjusting method that is a shift away from the twisting and popping many people associate with traditional handson treatment. The instrument uses computer analysis to look for poor movement in the spinal bones and documents the results on a computer screen.

Once problem areas are found, the ProAdjuster delivers a controlled series of "taps" to correct the problem. This process reduces irritation of the nerve system and alleviates stress in the spine, reducing pain and allowing proper healing to take place.

The process can be used safely on the elderly, even those with advanced osteoporosis, and on children of all ages.

Kaplan is the clinical director at Lifeforce Family Wellness Center, 1000 Newbury Road, Ste. 230, Newbury Park.
