ArthroStim Chiropractic Adjustments in Collingwood
A precise, low-force chiropractic instrument that delivers gentle, effective adjustments — ideal for patients who prefer a non-manual approach to spinal care.
What Is the ArthroStim?
Instrument-Assisted Chiropractic Care
The ArthroStim is a handheld chiropractic adjusting instrument that delivers rapid, controlled impulses to specific joints and spinal segments. It operates at approximately 12–14 hertz — a frequency shown to be highly effective at stimulating spinal mechanoreceptors and resetting aberrant movement patterns, without the rotational forces of a traditional manual adjustment.
At Dr. Beth’s Chiropractic Clinic in Collingwood, Dr. Beth uses the ArthroStim as her primary adjusting tool for patients who benefit from a lighter touch — including seniors, patients with osteoporosis, post-surgical patients, and those with acute inflammation. It’s also popular with patients who’ve been hesitant about traditional chiropractic because of concerns about “cracking” sounds or sudden movements.
The ArthroStim works beautifully with BioFlex Laser Therapy for a comprehensive, gentle care plan.
How ArthroStim Treatment Works
During your visit, your chiropractor will assess your posture, range of motion, and joint function to identify areas of restriction or dysfunction. The ArthroStim is then applied with gentle, targeted pressure — you’ll feel a light tapping sensation rather than any forceful movement.
Most patients notice improved mobility and reduced discomfort within just a few visits. The treatment is painless, safe for all ages, and can be applied to the spine, pelvis, extremities, and even the jaw (TMJ).

- Osteoarthritis and joint stiffness
