Instrument Assisted Chiropractic Adjustments

Instrument adjusting is a gentle chiropractic technique that uses a small handheld device to deliver precise adjustments to the spine and joints. Instead of traditional hands-on adjustments, the instrument provides a quick, controlled impulse that helps restore proper joint motion. At 5280 Chiropractic in Denver, instrument adjusting allows us to deliver targeted care while keeping treatment comfortable and controlled.

Or call: (303) 371-5280

A Gentle, Precise Adjustment

The instrument delivers a very fast, low-force impulse to specific joints in the spine or extremities. Because the adjustment happens so quickly, surrounding muscles are less likely to tighten or resist the treatment.

This technique allows us to:

  • Deliver precise, targeted adjustments
  • Use less force than traditional adjustments
  • Avoid twisting or turning the body
  • Provide consistent and comfortable care


Many patients find instrument adjusting to be one of the most comfortable types of chiropractic treatment.

What to Expect

During your visit, we evaluate your spine, posture, and joint movement. The instrument is then used to deliver a quick, precise adjustment to the areas that need it.

Most patients feel a light tapping sensation, and appointments are typically quick and comfortable.

Who Is Instrument Adjusting Good For?

Instrument-assisted adjustments are often a great option for patients who prefer a gentler approach or who may not be ideal candidates for traditional manual adjustments.

This technique is commonly used for:

  • Sensitive or inflamed joints
  • Pregnancy care
  • Older adults or patients with arthritis
  • Patients who prefer a lighter style of adjustment

It can also be combined with traditional chiropractic adjustments depending on the patient and condition.
