What is ArthroStim?
ArthroStim is a great alternative to manual adjustments that your chiropractor may use depending on your body type and preferences. It is a powerful tool that is capable of delivering 12-14 thrusts per second! By delivering the thrusts (or adjustments) in bursts rather than a single thrust by a chiropractor, we are able to deliver adjustments in a more comfortable manner.
Who can benefit from ArthroStim?
With the reduced amount of force that ArthroStim delivers, it allows our chiropractors to adjust a wider range of patients who may not be a candidate for manual adjustments. Those who especially benefit include:
- Young patients
- Elderly patients
- Patients in excess pain
- Patients who do not like manual adjustments or the "popping" sound
- Patients who are sensitive to manual adjustments
- When certain adjustments to the extremities can not be performed manually
ArthroStim vs Activator
Activator is a tool that delivers one thrust at a time where ArthroStim is capable of delivering 12-14 thrusts per second. In general, ArthroStim gives the chiropractor greater effectiveness and efficiency during treatment. However, the treatment may not require a large volume of thrusts. For example, certain facial structures may require the gentle and precise delivery that Activator can deliver.
