What Is an ArthroStim Adjustment?
If you’ve ever felt hesitant about traditional manual adjustments, you’re not alone. Many patients prefer a gentler, more controlled approach to chiropractic care—that’s where adjustments with an ArthroStim come in.
The ArthroStim is a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers precise, rapid, and low-force impulses to targeted areas of the spine and body. Instead of a manual thrust, it uses consistent pulses to help restore proper joint motion.
At Moore Chiropractic in Olympia, WA, we use ArthroStim adjustments to provide effective care with maximum comfort.
How the Nervous System Is Connected
Your nervous system controls everything—movement, healing, organ function, and how you feel day-to-day.
The spine protects the spinal cord, which acts as the main communication pathway between your brain and body. When joints in the spine become restricted or misaligned (often referred to as subluxations), it can interfere with nerve communication.
This interference may lead to:
- Pain and stiffness
- Muscle tightness
- Reduced mobility
- Slower healing
- Increased physical stress
How ArthroStim Adjustments Improve Nervous System Function
Adjustments with an ArthroStim work by stimulating mechanoreceptors—specialized nerve receptors located in joints and surrounding tissues.
Here’s how that benefits your body:
1. Restores Proper Nerve Communication
Gentle impulses help improve joint motion, reducing interference so your nervous system can function more efficiently.
2. Reduces Muscle Tension
The rapid, repetitive impulses help relax tight or overactive muscles, decreasing guarding and discomfort.
3. Enhances Brain-Body Connection
Improved sensory input helps your brain better understand movement and positioning, supporting coordination and balance.
4. Promotes a Calmer Nervous System
Many patients experience a relaxing effect, helping the body shift out of “fight or flight” and into a more balanced state.
