Our chiropractors will evaluate your symptoms to identify the underlying cause of your pain. Then, you will be asked to lie face down on the adjustment table. During the ArthroStim instrument adjustment, the chiropractor places the device against targeted areas of the spine or joint. The instrument delivers gentle, high-speed, controlled impulses.
The treatment usually begins with the lower back and then moves to other areas, such as the head, focusing on each vertebral segment. The ArthroStim technique may help reduce joint inflammation and stiffness, strengthen muscles, and maintain overall spinal health.
