Gentle and Precise Chiropractic Care
​
At Spinal Health Group in Springfield, VA, Dr. Joshua Alvarado provides chiropractic adjustments using the Arthrostim instrument. This innovative tool allows for gentle, low-force adjustments that are highly effective for restoring motion, relieving pain, and supporting healing.
​
What Is the Arthrostim?
​
The Arthrostim is a handheld instrument that delivers a series of rapid, light thrusts to the spine or joints. Instead of one single forceful movement, the Arthrostim provides multiple gentle impulses in quick succession. These small adjustments stimulate the nervous system, release tension, and help restore proper motion without discomfort.
​
Because the Arthrostim is so gentle, it is an excellent choice for patients who are sensitive to traditional chiropractic methods.

FAQs About Arthrostim Chiropractic
​
How is Arthrostim different from the Activator?
Both are instrument-assisted adjustments, but the Arthrostim delivers multiple quick thrusts in succession, while the Activator delivers a single precise impulse. Dr. Alvarado may choose one over the other depending on your needs.
Will I hear or feel the adjustment?
You will likely feel a series of light tapping sensations during the adjustment. Most patients find it painless and even relaxing.

Is Arthrostim safe for me?
Yes. Arthrostim is safe for children, seniors, and anyone who wants a gentle chiropractic option without manual adjustments.
