Non-Force Chiropractic Adjustments: Arthrostim for Gentle Pain Relief
How the Arthrostim Chiropractic Instrument Works
Based on your diagnosis and individual needs, our chiropractor can adjust the Arthrostim to deliver just the right amount of energy from the instrument. Dr. Herfindahl precisely places the padded tip (or tips) of the Arthrostim at the exact location where the adjustment needs to be made. He can adjust the direction of the energy to this location to get just the right amount of movement to correct posture.
When the instrument is engaged, it will vibrate 12 times per second, delivering a percussive, yet gentle, non-force manipulation, bringing the vertebrae back into correct alignment; no twisting, popping or cracking. Additionally, the vibration rate of the Arthrostim stimulates the body’s proprioceptors (sensory nerve receptors) that regulate correct alignment and motion of the musculoskeletal system. The result is a simultaneous mixture of relief and relaxation that our patients rave about.
