Q. Why is so much advertizing money calling our attention to the brain?

“Tailored-Individualized- Input” ™
"Success Follows the MechanoReceptor
Barrage That Targets The Brain" ™
One adjustment can be a band-aid, another adjustment has the potential to be life changing. Take, for example, the graph below. This graph displays the brainwave activity of a subject who was adjusted several times over a 25 minute time period.More specifically, the graph displays the percentage of alpha (A), beta (B) and theta (T) brain wave activity produced by the subject’s right (R) and left (L) hemispheres.
-‘a-b’= the subject rested.
- At ‘b’, the subject was adjusted by a practitioner using an ArthroStim® adjusting instrument. The subject was adjusted a 2nd time near the end of the ‘b-c’ time period. Both adjustments produced transitory changes in brainwave activity. (Note: transitory brainwave responses to the 2nd adjustment continued into the ‘c-d’ time period.)
-‘c - d’= the subject rested.
-At ‘d’, the patient was adjusted a 3rd time by a different practitioner (with a different assessment approach)using the ArthroStim® instrument.This adjustment produced substantial, sustained changes in brainwave activity, ie, a reduction in beta activity and a rise in alpha and theta activity.
The graph demonstrates that the adjusting instrument elicited brainwave responses.
The graph also illustrates that different methods of application, i.e., variable forms of afferent input, can play a significant role in the outcomes. Different technique approaches apply different qualities of mechanoreceptor input, which in turn, elicit different brain wave responses.
One of the most fruitful questions a doctor can ask themselves is “Can I individualize the adjustment so each patient gets even better results?”
All manual and instrument-assisted adjustments ‘talk’ to the brain. Instrument adjusting enables a practitioner to produce various types of mechanoreceptor input that can be difficult, or impossible, to produce by hands only.
Different patients require different amounts of input (e.g., time and force combinations) in order to produce effective, long-lasting changes. One of the most important skills a practitioner can develop is the ability to tailor the intensity of applied forces to meet the needs of individual patients, i.e., “Neural-Afferent-Threshold-Ology™/ Tailored-Individualized-Input™.
The Pro- ArthroStim® adjusting instrument offers unsurpassed ease and flexibility in tailoring individualized input.
The Pro-ArthroStim instrument produces a wide range of thrusting forces and it is designed to immediately respond to the doctor’s set-up pressure. In effect, the ArthroStim acts like an extension of a practitioner’s hand.This enables a practitioner to instantly increase or decrease the thrusting force to match specific needs of individual patients.* It also allows a practitioner to continue to convey subtle nuances their experience-based wisdom deems necessary.
Additionally, the Pro-ArthroStim produces 12 -14 thrust per second**. This rapid thrusting rate enables a practitioner to create a significant amount of mechanoreceptor input – even when using small amounts of force. You can effortlessly communicate the Art of Chiropractic with an ArthroStim because control of the optimum afferent variability is in your hand.
* Some multi-thrusting instruments are limited to just 2 or 3 fixed force settings, which compromises a practitioner’s ability to customize thrusting forces.The practitioner is constrained to the restrictions of the instrument.
** The Pro-ArthroStim can also optionally thrust at: 6 times per second and 3 times per second.
Q. Why have so many thousands of Practitioners made IMPAC part of their practice?

VibraCussor & ArthroStim This is 10-1 the Most Common
Testimonial
Question Other than Price what can I Compare?
Answer You get the most for Your Money when You get the Least Limitation
Pro-ArthroStim® Kit
VS.
The other instruments on the market
More versatile
technology facilitates all technique thrusting styles
Their technology limits them to a few technique styles
More Warranty 4 years
Average service life of their technology limits them to 1 year
Greater Satisfaction Guarantee (90 days) we are confident that after extended time and comparison it’s the right instrument for you at the right price and right timing for introduction to your practice
Customer satisfaction with their technology and price limits them to 30 days or less
More tips, items and features in each kit IMPAC expends research dollars to provide optimum convenience technology for the busy practitioner
They limit convenience technology to fewer tips, no customization
More clinical life after warranty (almost every instrument built is still in the clinic after 20 years) you always have access to low cost repair with one to two day turnaround
Their technology lacks the quality to offer a repair opportunity after one year warranty its throw away technology
More customizing opportunity
Exclusive continuous motion adjusting
cooling feature can be built into any
Pro-ArthroStim upon your request
They don’t have access to this patent pending technology
Even more customizing opportunity
Variable rate technology is like having 4 instruments in one, 12, 6, 3, and single rate
Typically they ask almost the same price, but you get limited techonology, a big price for their limited technology
More technology, service, and guarantee for your dollar
More learning opportunity wider adjusting perspective over 20 techniques teach with the ArthroStim® & the VibraCussor®, most have DVD’s or have seminars with CE Credits
A limited technology cannot support wide technique perspective/acceptance
Thank you for your interest in IMPAC products.IMPAC respects a practitioner’s interest in getting the most value for their money. Your inquiry could not be timed better as I have a rebate to inform you of.
The Pro-ArthroStim® instrument offers technological advances that cannot be found on other instruments in the marketplace. The Pro-ArthroStim features a full Cushion Grip Handle and an integrated Comfort Touch Trigger which maximizes comfort and protects against forces being transferred to a practitioner’s hand. The Pro-ArthroStim also comes with an industry leading 4-year warranty and an enhanced electronic package, which enables a practitioner to customize the instrument with select features to best match the needs of their specific technique instructor.These are just some of the reasons why more than 20 techniques currently utilize the Pro-ArthroStim® instrument.

Q. The ArthroStim has multi-frequency selector, why is the default setting of 12 thrusts per second?
A.
This frequency, often referred to as the low beta somatomotor rhythm is the ideal frequency. Continually compared its clinical performance is preferred over 20 years by the Doctors.

Q. Dear Sirs,
I just finished the NMT training and wish to get an ArthroStim. Do you have any used models?
A.
Used instruments are really hard to come by, they last 20 years and have service yet available, so doctors don't part with them.

Q. What adaptors are standard or most commonly used?
A.
The most commonly used set of adaptors includes: the flat single tip, and round ball single tip adaptors, the narrow taper tip fork adaptor and the wide taper tip fork adaptor.
Different techniques may recommend different adaptors so it is best to inquire if you have a specific technique in mind.
