Sanders Special APA™ Adjustment

A Smarter Approach to Y-Axis Spinal Decompression


When I set out to bring Y-axis spinal decompression to my practice, my goal was simple:

👉 To provide my patients with an effective, comfortable, and accessible decompression therapy—without requiring them to travel out of state.

I explored several options, including well-known Y-axis decompression techniques like the Ring Dinger® adjustment and the Y-Strap® adjustment. However, after extensive research, I realized that existing methods had limitations—both for patient comfort and the physical demand on the chiropractor.

I knew there had to be a way to enhance this technique.

🚀 That’s when I developed a more advanced approach—one that delivers the powerful spinal relief of manual Y-axis adjustments while optimizing the decompression effect through a unique, gravity-assisted tilt mechanism.

💡 This innovation became the Sanders Special APA™ Adjustment.

APA

What Does APA Mean?


The Automatic Priority Adjustment (APA) is the original name for this powerful Y-axis spinal decompression technique—a method that existed long before it was popularized under other names. The APA Adjustment was always about restoring spinal health in the most direct and effective way possible.

Unlike traditional Y-axis decompression adjustments, which rely solely on manual force, the Sanders Special APA™ incorporates gravity-assisted positioning to:

✅ Enhance spinal decompression by using gravity to assist the adjustment
✅ Reduce physical strain on both the patient and the chiropractor
✅ Provide a more controlled, comfortable experience
✅ Allow for progressive decompression, improving spinal alignment outcomes
