Each and every single year Americans will make a little more than 250-million visits to a chiropractor’s office to seek chiropractic adjustments. However what many of them do not know about is that the Pop and Pray technique can actually cause some problems in certain patients. What is the pop and pray technique? It involves using chiropractic adjustments to manipulate the misplacement of vertebrae in the neck. When these vertebrae are misaligned they can cause unnecessary pressure on the nerves in the body, leading to migraines, muscle aches and headaches and reduced overall health of the patients. But what many people may not know is there is a reason that these techniques are called pop and pray. The hands of any person are only so precise. Even medical surgeons will use machines and lasers to guide precision incisions when they do not trust the flight of their own hands. Such should also be the case with certain chiropractic adjustments, especially in patients who have a history of heart disease or other heart or blood circulation or nervous disorders.
Some patients have experienced minor strokes in the office when receiving chiropractic adjustments that involve the pop and pray technique—hence the coining of the term. Pop it and pray that you did it right and that your patient is no longer suffering when you have completed the chiropractic adjustments. There are ways around worrying about whether or not your chiropractor may implore this pop and pray technique in their office. For one, why would you want your doctor to use their hands to apply complex vertebrae manipulations on sensitive areas of the body when there are complex machines that hold U.S. Patents and have undergone more than 40 years of development specifically to aid the chiropractors in making precise and accurate chiropractic adjustments?
The instrument that I am talking about is called the Activator—the chiropractic adjustments methods involved are called the Activator Methods. If you are looking to avoid the worry and potentially devastating medical side effects that can and do occur when the pop and pray methods are used, always insist that you only see chiropractors who use the Activator chiropractic equipment and their associated chiropractic adjustments—which involve intense training and seminars as well as continued education. Instead of relying upon just their hands, doctors now can use a very accurate, precision instrument that involves high force spinal adjustments using precise settings and medical instruments—that were created involving nearly 40 years of medical research and development; and clinical studies.
