In order to understand how an ArthroStim Instrument works, you have to understand how chiropractic adjustment works.  A chiropractic adjustment produces precise movements which stimulate “neural receptors” in an injured/affected area.  These receptors will then produce nerve impulse which transmit important information to the brain. The brain will process this information and use it to update its awareness about the condition of an area.  Once the brain evaluates the changes prompted by the adjustment, it can begin sending out self-correcting commands to the muscular system, and other systems, to bring about healing within your body.  The Arthrostim is just another way to administer these adjustments, but it is faster, more comfortable and efficient due to its controlled repetitive input.  This input produces a “snowballing” effect on neural receptors and allows it to transmit more information to the brain with less effort, pain and force.
