Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Pro Adjuster
The Pro-Adjuster

The Pro-Adjuster is an instrument that utilizes the latest computer and space age technology to evaluate very small motion abnormalities of the bones of the spine and, under the control of the doctor, specifically treats the involved segments.

After the analysis and during the treatment the Pro-Adjuster tests the spine to determine when each spinal segment has reached the optimum state of motion and then is used to retest the area. By continuous analysis the computer monitor displays a graph showing the changes occurring. The instrument becomes an extension of the Dr. Giancola's hand and provides data that insures certainty and confidence regarding your care. This method of care enables us to provide results that are consistent, measurable, and extremely gentle.

The Pro-Adjuster uses the same type of technology that allows engineers to determine and handle weakness and stress on spacecraft.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and have benefited from a particular type of adjustment or do not respond well to an adjusting technique, please let Dr. Giancola know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care in our office. We are here to provide you quality individualized care.

Dr. Tony Asks some important questions of interest to Merrimack residents - Chiropractor Merrimack Dr. Tony Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each practice member. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Do chiropractors prescribe medications for the pain?
No. Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to better health. Instead, we rely on natural methods. We can show you how to use ice to control pain. When properly applied, ice can have an analgesic effect without the unwanted and sometimes dangerous effects of pain medications.
