What is Power Assisted Micro-manipulation (PAM)

This specialist equipment has been developed to mobilise and re-align the whole spine. The PAM handset is a bionic hand which has four fingers controlled by 3 programmes of variating power and speed. Whilst the therapist retains all the sensitivity and control of their natural fingers, bionics enable the therapist to work at an energy-speed that would otherwise be impossible. The benefits for you PAM restores mechanical efficiency to the spine, eliminating the concentration of stresses to any particular spinal segment. Mobilisation and re-alignments of the complete vertebral column enables the spine to carry out its correct function allowing stresses to flow through the spine as nature intended.

Conditions it Treats:

By treating the underlying cause of back pain, PAM is extreamly effective for:

• Stiff spinal joints
• Chronic back pain
• Scoliosis
• Impaired spinal function
• Back problems associated with marked rigidity and stiffness

What to expect:
