The ProAdjuster —
Chiropractic Without the Crack
Used in over 5,000 clinics across 42 countries. FDA-cleared. Computer-guided. And the reason so many Garden City patients finally got the relief they'd been searching for.
Computer-guided precision, built over three decades
The ProAdjuster is a 7th-generation, FDA-cleared computerized chiropractic instrument refined over more than thirty years. The latest revision — the ProAdjuster SRT, released in 2023 — uses patent-pending technology that increases force and frequency simultaneously for even more precise treatment.
Today it's used in over 5,000 clinics across 42 countries, delivering an estimated one million adjustments every week. Dr. James Yager has been one of its dedicated practitioners in Garden City for years — and the results show in 54 five-star Google reviews.
How it actually works
At the heart of the ProAdjuster is piezoelectric sensor technology — the same category NASA used to test Space Shuttle tiles. It responds faster than your body's reflex, capturing a true, uncompensated reading of each vertebra.
A light force is introduced
A gentle pulse is sent into the vertebra — so light you barely feel it — to test how that segment responds.
The sensor reads the response
The force reflects back to the piezoelectric sensor, which measures how the vertebra moved before your muscles have time to react and compensate.
The computer interprets the data
Software determines whether the segment is too rigid (hypo-mobile) or too fluid (hyper-mobile) — both signs of dysfunction.
Precise treatment is delivered
The ProAdjuster generates oscillating resonance pulses at exactly the frequency needed to restore normal motion to that specific segment.
Like a woodpecker — fast, precise, and never jarring
A woodpecker drills into hardwood without injuring itself because its movement is impossibly fast and precise — the force is distributed perfectly. The ProAdjuster works the same way, delivering rapid oscillating impulses that restore motion without the broad, forceful thrust of a manual adjustment.
The soft-tipped instrument contacts your spine gently while the computer controls the depth, frequency, and intensity of every pulse. Most patients are surprised by how relaxing it is — comfortable enough for even the most nervous first-timer.

“Dr. Yager takes time to actually understand what's going on. He doesn't just crack you and send you out the door. The ProAdjuster is unlike anything I've experienced.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ProAdjuster hurt?
Almost never. It delivers gentle oscillating pulses — most patients describe it as a light tapping sensation. There is no twisting, popping, or forceful manipulation, so even patients who have been nervous about chiropractic for years find it completely comfortable.
How is it different from a regular chiropractic adjustment?
Traditional manual adjustments rely on the chiropractor's hands and judgment to deliver a thrust. The ProAdjuster uses a computerized sensor to measure each spinal segment objectively, then delivers a precise resonating force at exactly the right location and intensity — the computer shows Dr. Yager exactly what's happening before and after each treatment.
Is the ProAdjuster safe for everyone?
Yes. Because it requires virtually no force, it's appropriate for infants, elderly patients, pregnant women, post-surgical patients, and people with osteoporosis. It is FDA-cleared and has been used in over 5,000 clinics worldwide.
How quickly will I feel results?
Many patients notice improvement after their very first visit, and results compound with each session as proper spinal motion is restored. Your timeline depends on how long the issue has been present — Dr. Yager will give you an honest assessment after your initial evaluation.
Do you use the ProAdjuster on every patient?
It's Dr. Yager's primary treatment tool and is used with the vast majority of patients. In some cases he may combine it with other gentle techniques based on your needs, and he'll explain your care plan clearly after your first assessment.
