As technology advances, your chiropractor might discover new ways to provide treatment to his/her patients. As you can imagine, your doctor sees many different types of people of all shapes and sizes every day, each with different sensitivity levels and pain thresholds. With such a wide variety of patient needs, sometimes the manual adjustment a chiropractor can provide might not be as effective or efficient, which is why your doctor might use a tool like the ArthroStim Instrument to enhance their treatment sessions.
The ArthroStim Instrument is a handheld machine that aids your chiropractor in performing adjustments. This powerful tool delivers 12-14 incremental thrusts per second, making it much stronger and faster than a typical single thrust administered by a chiropractor. By dividing the energy of a single thrust into rapid successive inputs, the ArthroStim Instrument modulates the force your physician applies in treatment, but in a much more comfortable and effective manner.
ArthroStim Instrument
An adjustment tool that helps Chiropractors perform precise adjustments and stimulations.
Effective for All
From young kids to older adults, using an adjustment tool helps be even more precise adjustments for maximizing results.
Why Use a tool?
It has been reported to be as good and often better at relieving pain than manual adjustments with precision accuracy.
Instrument-assisted adjustments can deliver the same amount of force as a manual adjustment focused on a smaller area resulting in lower impact adjustments for those with specific conditions or symptoms.
Arthrostim Adjusting Technique in the Plano Area
Depending on your health issue, our team may suggest using the ArthroStim instrument to get an even more precise adjustment. This can be extremely valuable in your treatment when a higher impact is needed in a smaller area while still being comfortable during treatment. During your appointments, we’ll discuss if ArthoStim adjusting make sense for your care.
In order to understand how an ArthroStim Instrument works, you have to understand how chiropractic adjustment works. A chiropractic adjustment produces precise movements which stimulate āneural receptorsā in an injured/affected area. These receptors will then produce nerve impulses which transmit important information to the brain. The brain will process this information and use it to update its awareness about the condition of an area. Once the brain evaluates the changes prompted by the adjustment, it can begin sending out self-correcting commands to the muscular system, and other systems, to bring about healing within your body. The ArthroStim is just another way to administer these adjustments, but it is faster, more comfortable and efficient due to its controlled repetitive input. This input produces a āsnowballingā effect on neural receptors and allows it to transmit more information to the brain with less effort, pain, and force.
What are the benefits of ArthroStim?
The ArthroStim Instrument allows your doctor to maintain the effectiveness of your treatment while greatly reducing the amount of force that is applied, which makes it easier to use on a wide variety of conditions and ailments. Individuals that may especially benefit from the use of the ArthroStim Instrument include:
Infants and young children
Individuals with acute or extreme pain
Particularly sensitive individuals
Individuals who dislike being ācrackedā
Individuals who suffer from neck pain
Individuals who require adjustments to the extremeties
Elderly individuals
Even people who are larger and stronger and therefore more difficult to adjust from a standard single thrust will benefit from the āneurological assistā that the ArthroStim Instrument provides.
Manual Adjustments vs. Instrument Assisted Adjustments with the ArthroStim
Manual Adjustments
Pros: One of the primary benefits of manual adjustments is the sensory feedback from the patient. Through the sense of touch, youāre able to āreadā a patientās musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, you can easily tell if your hands are working while you may not be able to tell if your device is functioning properly. Itās possible that a malfunction could occur which could result in the instrument not working properly. Parts wear down over time and this could cause a decrease in quality care. This is one important reason to make sure if you use a device like the ArthroStim that you ensure itās working properly and perform maintenance as needed.
Cons: For the same reason that manual manipulation can be better, it can also be worse. Your hands are the tool used for adjustments. This means youāre limited to the strength and control of your hands which can be limited. Applying targeted force to a specific area is not as accurate with manual adjustments. Throughout the day, your hands and arms may tire due to overuse. Therefore, devices like the ArthroStim could provide an alternative to manual adjustments and aid in your ability to perform manual adjustments by saving your hands for when theyāre needed most.
Instrument Assisted Adjustments
Pros: Instrument-assisted adjustments such as those provided when using an ArthroStim instrument can deliver the same amount of force as a manual adjustment focused on a smaller area. This results in lower impact adjustments, which can be very meaningful if the patient has recently been in an automobile accident or if theyāre elderly. Instruments like the ArthroStim have an increased degree of accuracy. Smaller, more targeted adjustments also result in quicker adjustments, giving you more time to investigate the problem, discuss care options with your patient, and spend more time on the other aspects to the chiropractic visit.
Cons: Devices like these can be expensive. The cost can be prohibitive if youāre just starting a practice or have other costs to contend with. Training on the device is needed to ensure youāre using it properly. Many devices have maintenance costs such as repair, software updates, etc. which can increase the cost of using them.
The Science Behind ArthroStim Instruments
The ArthroStim Instrument is a chiropractic adjustment instrument that is reported to be as good and often better at relieving pain than manual adjustments. The ArthroStim is capable of applying pressure ranging from a few ounces to up to 40 pounds of force to a very targeted point on the body. The ArthroStim instrument delivers thrusts at a rate of 12-14 hertz. This is a higher frequency than many other chiropractic adjustment instruments.
Typically, your chiropractor might use the ArthroStim Instrument by itself or in combination with other adjusting techniques, but of course, this will depend on the approach they feel is best for your specific treatment. Speak to your chiropractor to find out about the methods they use, and whether or not they think Arthrostim will be right for you.

They also take insurance which makes my visits super affordable. Highly recommend!
Before finding Dr Steve and Best Life, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to continue my chemo because the chemo induced neuropathy was practically unbearable. But his light therapy and other therapies have made my life so much better. I tell them I go to the oncology clinic for treatment; I come here for healing. And I know the benefits will long outlast my chemo. I am so grateful.
I had severe lower back pain for almost month. When I came here doctor analyzed me with degenerative disc. But Dr. Steven really saved me from that unbearable pain within 2 days . Almost I took 15 dayās treatment and now I am completely fine . All staff is also very nice and cooperative.<br>Thank you so much š
Dr. Le and his staff are amazing! Their customer service and professionalism is absolutely outstanding. I came in with some aches and pains due to my pregnancy and I feel so much better already after my first session. I highly recommend Best Life Chiropractic and Wellness for your chiropractic care! You will absolutely love it!
Dr. Le and his staff are awesome. They get me in whenever needed, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Le has used some different techniques to help me with my knee, neck and back and I now see him for maintenance.
First experience with a chiropractor and Iāll probably never go anywhere else. The entire staff is wonderful. Everyone is very knowledgeable and they care about your overall health. You can tell they care because they are constantly asking about different aspects of your health and keeping tabs on whatās working for you. Going here has really helped with my pains and several other issues I have had. Going to the clinic is my favorite part of the week. Highly recommend āļø
