ProAdjuster Chiropractic in Burlington
Reviewed by Dr. Maria Mahboob, D.C. — Doctor of Chiropractic and Lead Chiropractor at Divine Spine Burlington. ICPA-trained in pediatric and perinatal chiropractic care.
If you’ve been searching for ProAdjuster Burlington treatment, Divine Spine is one of the only chiropractic clinics in Burlington offering this advanced computerized adjusting technology. Dr. Maria Mahboob uses the ProAdjuster to deliver precise, gentle, instrument-based chiropractic care — with no cracking, no twisting, and no manual manipulation required.
What is the ProAdjuster?
The ProAdjuster is a computerized chiropractic instrument originally developed using technology from the aerospace industry. It works by analyzing the motion and stiffness of each spinal segment in real time, then delivering a precise oscillating force to restore normal joint movement. Key features of the ProAdjuster device:
- Uses controlled, computer-regulated force — never too much, never too little
- Produces zero cracking or popping sounds
- Requires no twisting, bending, or manual pressure on the spine
- Delivers adjustments in a comfortable seated or lying position
- Can treat areas that are difficult to reach with manual techniques
Who Benefits from ProAdjuster Chiropractic in Burlington?
The ProAdjuster is an excellent option for a wide range of Burlington patients, including:
- Patients who are nervous about traditional chiropractic cracking or manipulation
- Seniors or patients with osteoporosis who need a gentler approach
- Children requiring low-force adjustments
- Patients with acute injuries or significant inflammation
- Anyone who has tried traditional chiropractic but found it too forceful or uncomfortable
- Athletes looking for precise, targeted spinal correction
As a ProAdjuster chiropractor in Burlington, Dr. Mahboob offers this approach to patients who want precision-based chiropractic care without manual manipulation — including children, seniors, and those recovering from injury or surgery.
Why Some Patients Choose the ProAdjuster in Burlington
For many Burlington patients, the sound and sensation of a manual chiropractic adjustment — the audible “crack” or “pop” associated with traditional spinal manipulation — is the single biggest barrier to seeking care in the first place. The ProAdjuster offers an alternative approach for patients who:
- Prefer not to hear or feel cracking sounds. The ProAdjuster delivers a small, controlled mechanical impulse without producing the cavitation sound associated with manual adjustment. Some patients find this less anxiety-provoking, particularly during cervical (neck) work.
- Have anatomical considerations that make manual adjustment less suitable. Patients with osteoporosis, post-surgical hardware, severe disc disease, or certain types of joint hypermobility may not be candidates for high-velocity manual adjustment. Dr. Mahboob will assess your specific situation and recommend what may be appropriate.
- Are returning to chiropractic care after a difficult past experience. Some patients who had an uncomfortable experience with a previous practitioner find that the predictable, low-force ProAdjuster approach changes their relationship with chiropractic care.
- Want a more measured, data-informed approach. The ProAdjuster uses sensors to assess joint motion before and during adjustment, giving the practitioner real-time feedback that isn’t available through palpation alone.
Whether the ProAdjuster is the right tool for you specifically depends on the assessment Dr. Mahboob performs at your first visit. Some Burlington patients receive ProAdjuster care exclusively; others receive a combination of approaches based on what may be most appropriate for their condition.

What to Expect at Your ProAdjuster Appointment in Burlington
Your first visit is a $27 New Patient Exam with Dr. Mahboob. She will assess your spine, identify which segments are restricted, and determine whether the ProAdjuster is the right tool for your case. At your second appointment — the Report of Findings — she’ll explain exactly what she found and present a specific care plan.
ProAdjuster treatments are typically quick, comfortable, and require no recovery time. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the ProAdjuster as effective as traditional chiropractic adjustments?
Yes. Research supports instrument-assisted adjusting as equally effective to manual adjusting for most conditions. The advantage of the ProAdjuster is the precision and consistency of the force applied — the computer controls the adjustment, removing variability from the equation. For an overview of chiropractic research and standards of practice, see the Canadian Chiropractic Association.
Q: Does the ProAdjuster hurt?
No. Most patients describe ProAdjuster treatment as feeling like a gentle tapping or vibration. It is far more comfortable than traditional manual adjustments, particularly for patients with acute pain or sensitivity.
Q: How many ProAdjuster sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and your health goals. Dr. Mahboob gives you a specific, honest answer at your Report of Findings — no vague timelines. Many patients notice improvement within 3-6 visits.
Q: I’ve heard cracking is what “resets” the spine. Without the crack, does it still work?
The cracking or popping sound you sometimes hear with manual adjustment is called cavitation — the release of gas bubbles from a joint capsule when it’s gapped. The sound itself isn’t what produces the therapeutic effect; the joint motion is. The ProAdjuster delivers controlled motion into a target joint without producing cavitation. Whether instrument-based adjustment is appropriate for your specific condition is a question Dr. Mahboob will address during your $27 assessment.
Q: Is the ProAdjuster safe for older adults?
The ProAdjuster delivers low-force, controlled impulses, which is part of why it may be considered for older adults or patients with bone density concerns. As with any chiropractic care, the assessment is what determines whether it may be appropriate — Dr. Mahboob will review your health history and any imaging before recommending an approach.
Q: Can the ProAdjuster help with post-injury or post-surgical patients?
Patients recovering from injury or who have had spinal surgery often benefit from a more measured, lower-force approach. The ProAdjuster’s controlled delivery is one option Dr. Mahboob can discuss with you during your assessment. Specific recommendations depend on your individual case, imaging, and any clearance from your surgical team.
Why Dr. Mahboob Uses the ProAdjuster at Divine Spine Burlington
Dr. Maria Mahboob made the ProAdjuster the foundation of care at Divine Spine Burlington for a specific reason: most patients who walk through the door have already tried something else. Whether they avoided chiropractic for years due to concerns about cracking, or came in after other treatments didn’t deliver what they hoped, they need a different approach — not the same thing repackaged.
The ProAdjuster allows Dr. Mahboob to assess and treat the spine with a high degree of precision. Each spinal segment is analyzed for its resonance frequency — essentially how freely it moves — before any treatment is applied. This means care is targeted to exactly where it is needed, at a force appropriate for each individual patient. There is no guesswork involved in identifying restricted segments.
For Burlington patients who are post-surgical, managing osteoporosis, pregnant, or simply cautious about traditional chiropractic, the ProAdjuster offers a path to care that may feel more accessible. Dr. Mahboob’s goal is straightforward: help each patient get the most out of their treatment, whatever their starting point. If you have questions about whether the ProAdjuster is right for your situation, bring them to your $27 New Patient Exam — Dr. Mahboob will give you an honest assessment.
