The world’s first and only cordless electronic percussion gun with torque (rotating head)

The newest spinal adjustment and myofascial percussion therapy in one device...

A new model and modality for the management of spinal subluxation

Percussion massage guns are used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, coaches and trainers and a variety of health professionals with the goals of:

·       decreasing pain

·       reducing soreness

·       relieving discomfort

·       increasing flexibility and range of motion

·       hastening post exercise recovery

·       assisting with warm-up regimes

·       perhaps augmenting performance

·       for relaxation

There is sufficient evidence to support the strength of each of these outcomes.

One of Chiropractic’s unique propositions is in regards to the spinal subluxation. A significant portion of the Chiropractic profession sees its primary focus to differentially diagnose the site, biomechanical nature, and neurological manifestations of each person’s subluxation pattern/s. The therapeutic goal is to remove/improve the signs of subluxation in order to improve local function and varying degrees of quality of life and holistic wellbeing.

In addition, many Chiropractors also see it as their role to improve neuromusculoskeletal health, and often integrate multiple therapeutic modalities in order to assist their patients with different dimensions of functional impairment.

The co-developer of the 3dEnergy gun (an evolution in the design of a professional quality percussion massage gun) proposes that the modifications made to this particular percussion instrument, bridge the gap between the use of this machine to treat myofascial soft tissues alone, through to an ideal tool to assist with the correction of the manifestations of spinal subluxation.

The perceived upgrades that were identified for this purpose were:

·       To modify and customise the gun head tip composition to allow the delivery of localized specific impulses into hard contacts (cranial bones, vertebral spinous and transverse/lamina processes, pelvic and other joint margins). An airbag configuration was determined to be the only effective design. The shape, density and dimensions were refined to achieve the goal of being able to stimulate specific neurological segments.

·       To invent an add-on rotating head component, which would allow the chiropractor to deliver the 3d components of a vertebral subluxation listing (rotation with superiority or inferiority, or in other words the coupled movements that exist in spinal motion patterns). A number of models were developed and tested to finally produce an add-on head component which could develop sufficient torque while maintaining machine balance and smooth harmonics.

·       To redesign the internal engineering of the gun to be able to deliver power and controls to the rotating head component, and offer the user a variety of settings for optimal therapeutic choices.

A two-year design and development phase has now been completed.

This means that the 3dEnergy gun can be used as:

·       A conventional percussion massage gun.

·       The rotating head can be added to increase therapeutic impact on myofascial tissues.

·       Or, as hoped, it can additionally be used to deliver the required correctional vectors to help with subluxation management.

Working hypotheses:

1.    That percussive therapy is an ideal choice for the management of subluxation, based on its potential to impact each of the five components of subluxation: Impulse force and vibration to positively impact kinesiopathology; Energetic biodynamic transmission to positively impact neuropathohysiology; Percussion to positively impact myopathology; Hyperaemic response to positively impact histopathology; and a combination of all of the above to positively impact pathophysiology.

2.    That the appropriate delivery of percussive impulses to selected neural levels of the spinal system will act to clear dysfunctional ascending neural gateways, leading to improved central and peripheral neural function and the positive wellbeing outcomes associated with this.

3.    That percussive therapy is suited to delivering therapeutic mobilisation to the tensegrity components of the neuromusculoskeletal system.

4.    That percussive therapy is a suitable mechanical and energetic intervention to impact the effects of subluxation on the cranio-spinal-functional-meningeal-unit (CSFMU) via spinal to meningeal fibrous attachments.

5.    That the energetics of percussive therapy is suited to intervening positively into the piezoelectric properties of the fascial, spinal and central nervous systems.

·       All of the above can be encapsulated by one term – MECHANOTRANSDUCTION – the mechanisms by which cells convert mechanical stimuli into electrochemical activity.
