The IntegratorTM

The IntegratorTM is a chiropractic instrument used to deliver an adjustment. This instrument was designed for the sole purpose of correcting vertebral subluxations, and is the first chiropractic device to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Its mechanism reproduces the action of a chiropractor’s hands when delivering an adjustment. The features that allow for this are the simultaneous delivery of corrective thrust with proper corrective torque (twisting), followed by an instantaneous recoil. The remarkable speed of the IntegratorTM gives it the ability to deliver these three actions in 1/10,000 (one ten thousandth) of a second. Patients have noted that an adjustment delivered with the IntegratorTM is able to be accomplished with less depth, which is in fact true. They also have perceived that the instrument adjustment uses less force than that of the hands, which is surprisingly not the case. To a nearly equal degree, the instrument’s markedly faster speed offsets the diminished depth with which its tip must travel. In basic physics, this principle is described as force equals speed multiplied by distance (depth). In essence, the IntegratorTM is just another tool for adjusting.
