Chiropractic Tools

Chiropractic Tools, you use them all day, they are the 'tools of your trade' after all. Just the way the wrench is to the mechanic, and the hammer is to the carpenter. Those tools help those professional trades people do their jobs and give the customers the product or service they are looking for. Tools are used in all professions, only chiropractor's use some tools directly on the patient to restore health and either lessen or rid pain from their bodies and lives.

Today there are many chiropractic tools that weren't around 20 years ago. One such tool is the adjustment table. True you have always had a table, but back a few years ago it was just a flat table the patient climbed up on and laid down. However, now you have power controls that can raise and lower the table height, movable head, mid, and feet/legs sections. Amazing tool that helps you treat the patient and their issues in a fuller range.

There are some which have almost remained unchanged, such as traction. Basically, the patient sits into position and your assistants strap them in. I always thought this felt rather good. Now, you can prescribe the patient take unit home to do their own neck traction. What a superb benefit this has for them.

Relatively new guys on the chiropractic tools scene are the handheld inventions that look like handheld power tools. These help you reach an area which may be too sensitive to any other mode of adjustment. These tools help you zero in on that area, focus treatment there and help the patient. If I may interject here, they feel amazing, like a little hammer pounding on the sore spot.

Let's not forget the computer you use to record your SOAP notes on, it is a chiropractic tool also. Admittedly all you do is record the patient note on them, and has less aid to the patient. Other than if the computer system is sort of quick and you can get the patient on their way sooner rather than later. Is this the system you currently have? Did you know there is a better computer soap note system available?

There are now high-tech chiropractic computer systems that record the established patient note in less than 15 seconds, and one boasts a 10 second note creation. This chiropractic tool is a chiropractic dream come true, no more using the mouse with the touch screen technology available. The fine exact detail of the diagrams can help you actually show the patient the area of their spinal problem. Systems that produce reports for you in seconds flat, and even save you money by helping your office go paperless. Now this is an area of modern technology that has benefited both the chiropractor and the patient in wonderful ways. Saving time and therefore money for both.
