About Our Care

Modern chiropractic offers many benefits for health-conscious individuals, using advanced technology to help make adjustments a rewarding and enjoyable experience.    

THE ADJUSTMENT…….

Chiropractic adjustments help stimulate the body to heal itself.  Traditionally, chiropractors have used single high-energy thrusting and pulling movements to adjust areas of the body.  The adjustment sets a series of events into motion….

The adjustment produces precise movements, which stimulate ‘neural receptors’ in an area.  These receptors, in turn, produce nerve impulses, which relay crucial information to the brain.

The brain depends on this ‘neurological feedback stream’ to update its awareness about an area.  Once the brain evaluates the changes prompted by the adjustment, it issues self-correcting commands to the muscular system, and other systems, to bring about healing changes.

Recently, new ways of producing this important neurological feedback stream have been developed.  The Arthrostim Instrument is one of the most effective and comfortable tools for creating this valuable input in an area.

THE ARTHROSTIM INSTRUMENT

The Arthrostim Instrument delivers 12-14 incremental thrusts per second.  By dividing the energy of a single thrust into rapid successive inputs, the ArthoStim Instrument modulates the (peak) force.  This allows your doctor to administer an extremely comfortable, and highly effective, adjustment.

 The secret to the instrument’s effectiveness comes from its controlled repetitive input.  This input produces a cumulative ‘snowballing’ effect on neural receptors.

 This permits the Arthrostim Instrument to create extensive neurological feedback to the brain, using greatly reduced forces.

 By utilizing controlled, incremental thrusts, the Arthrostim Instrument is also able to stimulate specific neural receptors (mechanoreceptors and proprioreceptors) without activating undesirable pain receptors.

THE BENEFITS…..

The ArthroStim Instrument permits your practitioner to maintain the effectiveness of your adjustment while reducing the amount of force that is applied.  This dynamic combination allows the practitioner to comfortably manage a wider range of conditions.

Individuals that may especially benefit from the use of the ArthroStim Instrument Include:

• Infants and young children
• Individuals in acute pain
• Particularly sensitive individuals
• Individuals who dislike being ‘cracked’
• Elderly individuals

Even individuals who are larger and stronger (and may be difficult to adjust with a single thrust) can benefit from the ‘neurological assist’ that the ArthroStim Instrument provides.

Your practitioner may use the ArthroStim Instrument by itself, or in combination with other adjusting methods, depending on the approach they feel is best for your specific case.     

TESTIMONIAL

Dear Mr. Miller:

I recently had an opportunity to be treated with your new Arthrostim and the vibracussor instruments!  I really want to tell you how much I appreciate your concept.  I was injured on the job June 2, 1997, and have been receiving regular chiropractic treatments since that time.

 Presently, my treating physician is using your instruments on my neck and back.  For the first time since the injury, I have hope of getting well.  Your instruments are wonderful!  I find these instruments very helpful in my recovery.  At first, I was unsure of the type of treatment, as I am familiar with manipulation and ‘the old way’ of treating spinal injuries.  Despite my initial skepticism, I am pleased with the results the ArthroStim and Vibrcussor instruments provided me.  The percussion and the rapid thrusting have decreased my pain.  More importantly, this type of treatment stops the pain cycle.  The directed increase in oxygen and the vibrations of the instruments allow the muscles a chance to return to normal function.  I am able to go several hours, even days, without pain.  I am finally on the road to recovery.

I thank you for your instruments, and I appreciate your concern for those who have been injured.

Sincerely Dawna L. Potts 

Best my body has ever been, I enjoy being a chiropractic patient.  The ArthroStim is great!
