At Divine Spine Millwoods, Dr. Ali Jaffery uses the ProAdjuster — a computerized, instrument-based chiropractic system — to assess and address spinal dysfunction without the manual twisting, cracking, or high-velocity thrusts associated with traditional chiropractic techniques.

A $27 New Patient Exam will give you a clear picture of what is happening with your spine and what options are available.

What Is the ProAdjuster?
The ProAdjuster is a FDA-cleared chiropractic instrument that combines computerized spinal analysis with precise, gentle adjusting. The system uses a piezoelectric sensor to measure the resistance and resonance of spinal segments, identifying areas where joint mobility may be reduced or abnormal.
Unlike traditional chiropractic techniques that rely on manual palpation and high-velocity impulses, the ProAdjuster:
- Uses electronic sensors to objectively measure spinal segment mobility
- Delivers a precisely calibrated oscillating impulse — not a thrust or crack
- Generates a printout of your spinal assessment that Dr. Jaffery reviews with you
- Applies treatment at the same visit as the assessment
- Allows Dr. Jaffery to adjust the force and frequency based on your individual response
How the ProAdjuster Assessment Works
When you arrive for your $27 New Patient Exam, Dr. Jaffery begins with a health history and a conversation about your symptoms and goals. He then uses the ProAdjuster instrument to scan your spine. The scan measures each spinal segment’s response to a light tapping impulse. Segments with restricted mobility respond differently from those functioning normally — the instrument detects this and flags affected levels on a graph. Dr. Jaffery reviews this data with you before recommending a care plan.
If chiropractic care is appropriate, adjustments using the ProAdjuster can typically begin at the first visit. The process is comfortable, takes a few minutes per visit, and requires no special preparation on your part.
Conditions the ProAdjuster May Help With
Dr. Jaffery uses the ProAdjuster to assess and address a range of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions. Common reasons patients come to Divine Spine Millwoods include:
- Back pain — lower, mid, and upper back
- Neck pain and cervical stiffness
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Headaches with a cervicogenic or tension component
- Car accident injuries including whiplash-type presentations
- Sports injuries affecting the spine and joints
- Scoliosis management and pain support
- TMJ with a cervical spine component
Research suggests chiropractic care may help with musculoskeletal pain. Whether the ProAdjuster is appropriate for your specific presentation will be determined at your assessment. Timelines vary and outcomes depend on the individual.
Who Chooses the ProAdjuster at Divine Spine Millwoods
The ProAdjuster tends to be a good fit for patients who:
- Have had negative experiences with traditional chiropractic or are nervous about cracking
- Are in an acute or sensitive phase — such as shortly after a car accident or during a pain flare
- Prefer an objective, measurable approach to their spinal care
- Have conditions where high-velocity manipulation may not be appropriate
- Are senior patients or others who prefer a gentle, low-force approach
Frequently Asked Questions About the ProAdjuster
Is the ProAdjuster adjustment painful?
Most patients describe ProAdjuster adjustments as comfortable. The instrument delivers a light, oscillating impulse. Some patients notice mild muscle soreness in the day or two following a visit, similar to what one might feel after light exercise. Dr. Jaffery will discuss what to expect before beginning treatment.
How is the ProAdjuster different from traditional chiropractic?
Traditional chiropractic adjustments use the chiropractor’s hands to apply a high-velocity thrust to a spinal segment. The ProAdjuster replaces this with an instrument that delivers a precisely controlled oscillating impulse guided by electronic sensor feedback. There is no twisting, no leverage, and no audible pop.
How many ProAdjuster visits will I need?
This depends entirely on your presentation, the nature of your spinal dysfunction, and how your body responds. Timelines vary significantly between patients. Dr. Jaffery will outline a care plan at your first visit and reassess your progress at regular intervals.
Can I start with just the $27 New Patient Exam before committing to a care plan?
Yes. The $27 New Patient Exam is a standalone assessment. Dr. Jaffery will conduct a full spinal evaluation using the ProAdjuster, review the findings with you, and answer your questions. There is no obligation to commit to ongoing care at that visit.
