The ArthroStim is a handheld device designed to help a chiropractor correct spinal misalignments gently and effectively to a more focused tissue area as necessary. Instead of the single dose of force that a manual adjustment delivers, the ArthroStim actually delivers
a rapid succession of low-force taps (12 per second). Due to the controlled amount of force, the patient often experiences an adjustment via this device as a gentle “tapping massage” sensation. As a result, patients often respond by relaxing into the adjustment
rather than tensing up, enabling the ArthroStim to better penetrate the affected tissue and resulting in a more successful adjustment and improved pain relief.

The ArthroStim device is an effective means of reducing nerve pain, muscle spasms, and dysfunction of the joint. It is a device that is safe for patients of all ages, regardless of previous conditions, injuries, or surgical history.

Unlike conventional massage tools, which typically use a back-and-forth
movement, the VibraCussor uses a piston-like up-and-down motion. This produces waves of compression that travel through tissues to the affected muscles and fascia, allowing the instrument to release fascial adhesions, relax tense muscles, and improve circulation
and lymph flow.

The VibraCussor has been found to be effective in treating myofascial trigger points, frozen shoulder, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, joint fixation, muscle fatigue, and fascial adhesions, among other issues. The practitioner can adjust the percussion frequency
so that specific tissues and tissue depths may be targeted.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Over the last several months I have had significant and chronic challenges with my sinuses, chest congestion and breathing issues. A little over a month ago I was finally diagnosed with Asthma after months of working with my Primary Care Provider and a Pulmonologist. Over the many months where I was having challenges Dr. Kristie’s chiropractic care was just about the only thing that would help provide me with some relief. She has spent large amounts of time with me talking through the challenges I was having and taking a true personal interest in helping me to get well. She not only acted in a Chiropractic function but she also worked to research other areas I may want to explore in order improve my overall health (i.e. massage therapy, homeopathic therapy, physical therapy, Yoga, etc). I am very grateful for all of her help and truly believe in Dr. Kristie’s ability to help improve one’s overall health and wellness. Thank you Dr. Kristie!

VictoriaSinuses, chest congestion and breathing issues

I started seeing Dr. Kristie in October 2012 after a hamstring injury. During my first visit she found that my hips were completely misaligned causing me a great deal of pressure and pain. She advised that I scale back my CrossFit workouts and showed me a few yoga and pilates exercises to strengthen my hamstring without over stretching. Dr. Kristie put a great deal of effort and time into healing my injury. I was not just a patient that needed an adjustment. I had a specific injury and she knew exactly how to go about healing me. Although it was my hamstring area that hurt, she was able to find the root of the pain in my hips. Previous chiropractors were not detailed enough to figure this out and actually ended up causing me more pain. I came into Dr. Kristie’s office frustrated many days but her positive attitude and determination gave me hope and I am certain that without her care I would not be pain free like I am today. Now I make sure to see Dr. Kristie often for maintenance rather than waiting for an injury and at 34 years old I am stronger and healthier than ever!

Dr. Kristie has truly been a blessing to me. She has helped me in so many ways. Before I came to her, I had constant pain in my jaw, neck and shoulders. Since coming to her I no longer have pain in my neck and shoulders and rarely do in my jaw. Chiropractic is something that will amaze you if you’re willing to try it. It’s amazing how just adjusting your body you can instantly feel changes. Try Chiropractic and definitely try Dr. Kristie!!

I’m a patient of Dr. Kristie’s and I frequently use her massage therapist, Teresa. I have been exposed in the past to other therapists and find Teresa one of the best. She is well informed with the structure of the body and knows the proper techniques to implement to make corrective adjustments to help alleviate discomfort. She will readily adjust her pressure to accommodate your degree of tension. I have always had good results from my visits and will continue to request her specifically. In a world of tension, a good therapist can be a beneficial asset

Dr. Kristi turn all my bad symptoms around and I was healed and brand new after one to two months of treatment! Now a year later I still would recommend her services to anyone having back trouble of any kind!
Thanks Doc! You are wonderful!
