Arthrostim Therapy

An Arthrostim is a specialized tool for improving a patient’s range of motion in a specific joint.  The arthrostim is considered safe for children, elderly patients and for patients where manual adjustments may be considered “too forceful.”  The arthrostim can be used like the activator tool, but can also be set to impulse at 12 times per second, allowing Dr. Dougans to carefully adjust joints with dynamic motion.  Typically, a patient notices a dramatic increase in his or her range of motion, though results vary from patient to patient.
