Anyone tried Pro Back Pulse?

What do you think about it? I'm intersted in opinions on it

For those that have never heard of it, it's a new gadget chiro's are using instead of manual adjustments. Its a machine that mechanically pulses the joints back into better alignment or something like that anyway...it certainly feels a lot safer than some manual adjustments which always freak me out a little.

I just had it done for the first time. He pulsed it up and down my lumbar spine and it then tells you where the problem areas are, in my case, L5/S1 which i know about and also L2 were showing instability. Then he adjusts them and then you get a new reading showing how things are better aligned.

I'm always a bit skeptical about these things but i do trust my chiro and he knows his stuff. Guess i'll know if i start feeling better and hopefully not worse!
