Exceptional, Compassionate Care
ArthroStim is a low force pulsing adjustment at frequencies similar to that of cells as they communicate with each other. This precise movement is applied through the joint with a handheld tool, restoring motion and function.
A diversified adjustment is the hallmark of chiropractic. It is a highly skilled quick and precise movement applied to a joint by the chiropractor's hands. An adjustment restores motion and function.
Activator methods is a specific chiropractic analysis and low force adjustment. This precise movement is applied through the joint with a hand held tool, restoring motion and optimizing function.
Soft tissue therapy focuses on relieving tissue tension by the removal of fibrosis/adhesions which can develop as a result of overuse and trauma. Adhesions can lead to muscle weakness, numbness, aching, tingling and burning sensations.
Acupuncture is a precise painless nerve and muscle stimulation technique that can help alleviate chronic pain, headaches, sciatica, and osteoarthritis.
Massage therapy is a hands-on practice that involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and address various physical and mental health issues.
Gentle and Precise Adjustments
The Activator Adjusting Instrument delivers controlled, low-force adjustments, making it suitable for individuals who prefer or require a gentler approach to spinal manipulation.
Suitable for All Ages
Because of its gentle nature, the Activator Method is often considered suitable for individuals of all ages, including children, seniors, and those with fragile health conditions.
Minimized Popping or Cracking Sounds: Some people prefer the Activator Method because it generally produces less audible popping or cracking sounds compared to traditional manual adjustments. This can be appealing to those who find such sounds discomforting.
High speed: The instrument is so quick that the body’s muscles are less likely to tense in response, and resist the treatment. The lack of muscle resistance may facilitate the treatment’s effectiveness.
Precision in Targeting Areas: The instrument allows chiropractors to precisely target specific spinal segments or joints, potentially enhancing the accuracy of adjustments.

You'll have the opportunity to discuss your specific concerns, areas of pain, and any other relevant details.
He may assess your posture to identify any imbalances or misalignments
And evaluate your range of motion in various joints and observe how you move. Orthopedic and Neurological Tests: These tests help the chiropractor pinpoint the source of discomfort and assess nerve function.
In some cases, Dr. Eli may recommend diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, to get a more detailed view of the spine and joints.
Dr. Eli will review the results of the assessment and diagnostic tests with you, explaining their findings and discussing a potential treatment plan.
If deemed appropriate, Dr. Eli will perform adjustments, using hands-on techniques or specialized tools, such as Arthrostim/Activator. Adjustments correct misalignments while improving joint function, and alleviate chronic pain.
Dr. Eli may provide education on lifestyle factors, ergonomics, exercises, and stretches to support your overall well-being and prevent future issues. He will offer recommendations for ongoing care and discuss the expected frequency of visits.

Activator Methods is a specific chiropractic technique that utilizes a handheld instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. This approach is considered a low-force, gentle method of spinal adjustments. While individual experiences may vary, some potential benefits associated with the Activator Methods include:
Gentle and Precise Adjustments: The Activator Adjusting Instrument delivers controlled, low-force adjustments, making it suitable for individuals who prefer or require a gentler approach to spinal manipulation.
Reduced Joint Impact: Unlike manual adjustments, which involve physical force, Activator adjustments rely on the instrument’s spring-loaded mechanism. This may result in reduced impact on joints and surrounding tissues.
Customized Treatment: The Activator Method allows chiropractors to customize adjustments based on a patient’s specific needs. The instrument’s settings can be adjusted to accommodate different levels of force.
Suitable for All Ages: Because of its gentle nature, the Activator Method is often considered suitable for individuals of all ages, including children, seniors, and those with fragile health conditions.
Precision in Targeting Areas: The instrument allows chiropractors to precisely target specific spinal segments or joints, potentially enhancing the accuracy of adjustments.
Minimized Popping or Cracking Sounds: Some people prefer the Activator Method because it generally produces less audible popping or cracking sounds compared to traditional manual adjustments. This can be appealing to those who find such sounds discomforting.
Quick Application: Activator adjustments are typically quick and efficient, potentially reducing the duration of chiropractic appointments.
Consistency in Force Application: The Activator Adjusting Instrument provides consistent force, which may be appealing to both practitioners and patients seeking a standardized approach to adjustments.
The patient remains still, with no twisting or turning as there often is for a traditional chiropractic adjustment high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust).
A typical treatment will be done while the patient lies face down on the adjustment table. The treatment typically begins with the lower back and progresses toward the head, targeting each vertebral segment individually.
The chiropractor will evaluate the patient for signs and symptoms to identify the joints of the spine or the extremities that may be the source of complaints and amenable to treatment with the Activator instrument.
The Activator Method chiropractic technique uses a spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument called the Activator adjusting instrument. This instrument allows chiropractors to provide a quick, low-force impulse at specific points.
There are two theoretical advantages of an Activator instrument-assisted treatment:
Chiropractors often treat various forms of back pain, including lower back pain, upper back pain, and pain associated with conditions like herniated discs or muscle strains.
The applied force is localized and does not put the joint in any compromised positions, such as bending or twisting.
