Chiropractic Instrument Adjusting
The Arthrostim Instrument
By William Haas, D.C.
Traditionally, the chiropractic adjustment consists of a single high-energy trust or pulling movement in order to adjust an area of the body in order to help stimulate a healing process. Through the adjustment a series of events are set into motion . . .
The precise movements, produced by the adjustment, stimulate ‘neural receptors’ in the area which, in turn, produce nerve impulses that relay crucial information to the brain.
It is this ‘neurological feedback stream’ that the brain relies upon in order to update its awareness about the areas of the body. Upon evaluation of changes, produced by the adjustment, the brain issues self-correcting commands to the muscular system, and other tissues, to bring about healing changes.
There have been recent developments in new ways to produce this important
neurological feedback stream. The Arthrostim Instrument is one new way of
creating this valuable input into an area and offers modern chiropractic
many benefits for health-conscious people, using advanced technology to
make adjustments an enjoyable as well as rewarding experience.
The Arthrostim Instrument can deliver 1 or up to 12-14 rapid series recoiling thrusts per second which works with the natural feedback cycle of the nervous system. The results are an extremely comfortable yet highly effective adjustment. The effectiveness comes from the instruments controlled repetitive input, producing a cumulative ‘snowballing’ effect on the neural receptors. Therefore the Arthrostim Instrument can create extensive neurological feedback to the brain though using greatly reduced forces.
A practitioner using the Arthrostim Instrument can maintain the effectiveness of the adjustment while reducing the amount of force that is applied. Using this dynamic combination a wider range of conditions can be managed more comfortably by the practitioner.
Although the Arthrostim Instrument is of much benefit to all individuals the following individuals could especially benefit from the use of the Arthrostim Instrument:
- Individuals who are afraid or dislike having their spine ‘cracked’
- Individuals who are in acute pain
- Particularly sensitive individuals
- Young children and infants
- Individuals with arthritic conditions
