Patent ID: 8083699

Claim:
A method for controlling an electric chiropractic adjusting instrument comprising the steps of: Initializing data relating to a maximum spinal mobility; Resetting a peak maximum reading of an accelerometer peak signal; Resetting a detector circuit wherein the detector circuit transmits the data between an electrically driven impact head and a sensing device; Activating the electrically driven impact head to contact a body at least twice; Reading the accelerometer peak signal generated within the impact head using the sensing device; Repeating the step of activating the electrically driven impact head wherein a first reading and at least one subsequent reading are generated; Evaluating a plurality of sensing device readings using a sensing processing unit; Comparing the first reading and the multiple subsequent readings to determine if a maximum spinal mobility has been obtained; and Deactivating the electrically driven impact head when the first reading of the sensing device is exceeded by a subsequent reading of the sensing device such that the maximum spinal mobility has been obtained.
