Frequently Asked Questions
How is my table delivered and is it easy to assemble?
The parts come in separate boxes, normally by freight carrier delivered to your doorstep; white glove delivery is available for an extra fee where the table is delivered inside and crating is removed.
Assembly is extremely simple and fast. You need only a 1/2 inch wrench or socket and tighten four easily accessible bolts to attach the base to the table. The head requires only two bolts to attach to the mounting plate. Unpack your accessories and your ready to begin!
How do I get trained?
KDT certification is a must for the Clinician and key staff; the course is taken partly online and monthly seminars are held at hub locations around the United States. (see www.kennedytechnique.com for locations and times) The course offers up to 24 post grad CEU's (see individual state rules and application process. Training on the table is always available on-line via easy to understand video inservices. No more waiting on an untrained "salesman" to visit to get you up and running. Video inservices make more sense especially when you consider staff turnover and the need for refresher training.

Why does the Armedica KDT-650 Neural-Flex® have so many positioning options available?
Directional Preference positioning is simply that position which creates centralization of disc and peripheral symptoms. Patients get better much faster if the table allows them to be positioned so that mechanical pressure is lessened and the disc can migrate with respect to gravity.

Done properly, Decompression tends to work right away on a properly selected patient. We expect to see marked improvement within 2 weeks treating 3 times per week. Most patients enter functional stabilization exercise during the 2nd or 3rd week and finish care by the end of the 5th week.

Ten to twelve minutes. You can treat approximately four patients per hour per table.
