ArthroStim
The ArthroStim® Instrument is a handheld chiropractic adjustment tool used by many practitioners as a gentler alternative to traditional manual spinal manipulation. It delivers controlled, repetitive thrusts to targeted areas of the body, typically the spine or joints, to stimulate movement, alignment, and healing.
🔧 How It Works
- The ArthroStim delivers 12-14 rapid thrusts per second (also called "taps") — far faster than what a chiropractor could do manually.
- This high-frequency, low-force approach allows for effective treatment without the cracking or popping often associated with manual adjustments.
- The force can be easily adjusted to suit patients of all ages and sensitivities — from newborns to seniors.
✅ Benefits of ArthroStim Treatment
- Gentle and Painless – Ideal for sensitive patients, children, elderly, or those with acute pain
- Highly Targeted – Allows chiropractors to focus precisely on the affected joint or vertebra
- Stimulates Nerve Function – Enhances proprioceptive feedback and improves neuromuscular coordination
- Reduces Muscle Tension – Helps relax tight muscles around joints
- Improves Range of Motion – Especially useful in restricted or locked joints
- Minimizes Risk of Injury – Due to its low-force delivery, it’s safe for fragile or osteoporotic patients
- Well Tolerated by Anxious Patients – No cracking, popping, or twisting
