Understanding the Arthrostim Adjusting Instrument
At Regenerative Therapy of Lady Lake, we prioritize gentle, effective care to help you live pain-free and active, whether you’re enjoying golf, pickleball, or time with grandkids. A key tool in our chiropractic approach is the Arthrostim adjusting instrument, a state-of-the-art device designed to deliver precise, comfortable spinal adjustments. If you’re curious about what the Arthrostim is, how it works, and what it feels like, here’s a clear explanation to put you at ease.
What Is the Arthrostim?
The Arthrostim is a handheld, FDA-cleared chiropractic tool used to perform gentle spinal and joint adjustments. Unlike traditional manual adjustments that involve twisting or popping, the Arthrostim uses advanced technology to deliver controlled, rapid pulses of low-force energy to specific areas of the spine or joints. Shaped like a small, ergonomic device, it allows chiropractors to target misalignments (subluxations) with pinpoint accuracy, making it ideal for seniors or those with conditions like arthritis or back pain.
What Does the Arthrostim Do?
The Arthrostim’s primary goal is to restore proper alignment and function to your spine and joints, helping to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellness.
Here’s how it works:
• Corrects Subluxations: Misaligned vertebrae can pinch nerves, causing pain, stiffness, or reduced movement. The Arthrostim gently realigns these vertebrae, relieving nerve pressure and restoring function, which can ease issues like lower back pain or neck discomfort common among seniors.
• Improves Joint Mobility: By applying rapid, low-force pulses (up to 12 taps per second), the Arthrostim stimulates joint movement without forceful manipulation, helping you move more freely for activities like pickleball.
• Reduces Muscle Tension: The instrument’s pulses relax tight muscles around the spine, complementing adjustments and supporting pain relief, especially when paired with PEMF therapy’s anti-inflammatory effects.
• Enhances Nervous System Function: Proper spinal alignment improves nerve communication, boosting energy and coordination, helping you feel more vibrant.
What Does It Feel Like?
If you’re worried about discomfort, rest assured: an Arthrostim adjustment is gentle, precise, and comfortable, designed with seniors in mind. Here’s what to expect during a session:
• Sensation: The Arthrostim delivers rapid, soft taps that feel like a light, rhythmic vibration or gentle tapping on your skin, similar to a massage tool. There’s no twisting, cracking, or sudden movements, making it ideal for those with sensitive joints or low pain tolerance.
• Comfort: Most patients describe the sensation as soothing, with no pain. The low-force pulses (customizable to your needs) ensure a relaxing experience, often leaving you feeling looser and more mobile immediately after.
• Process: Your chiropractor holds the Arthrostim against specific areas (e.g., lower back, neck), applying short bursts of pulses. You may lie on a table or sit comfortably, and the procedure is quick (5-6 minutes).
• After-Effects: Many patients report reduced pain, improved flexibility, and a sense of lightness. When combined with PEMF’s “relaxing and energizing” sensation, the adjustment enhances energy and comfort, perfect for an active lifestyle.
