Arthrostim Adjusting in Laguna Niguel
If you've been nervous about chiropractic care because of the "cracking" sound, or if a previous injury or health condition calls for an extra-gentle touch, Arthrostim adjusting may be exactly the right fit. Dr. Azien Mousavi uses this handheld instrument to deliver precise, repetitive low-force impulses — restoring normal joint motion across the spine and extremities without the high-velocity thrust of a traditional manual adjustment.

How it works
What to expect with arthrostim adjusting
- Step 1
Thorough exam first
We review your history, perform orthopedic and movement testing, and determine whether instrument-based adjusting — or a combination of techniques — is the right match for your spine and goals.
- Step 2
Targeted instrument adjusting
Dr. Mousavi positions the Arthrostim precisely over the restricted joint and delivers a sequence of gentle impulses, checking joint motion and muscle response in real time to confirm each segment is releasing.
- Step 3
Progress and plan
Each visit builds on the last. We track your range of motion and symptom changes, adjust the frequency and depth of care, and give you a clear endpoint — not open-ended treatment.
Why patients choose it
Benefits of arthrostim adjusting
No twisting, popping, or high-velocity thrusts
Comfortable for sensitive, anxious, or post-surgical patients
Precise — targets one joint at a time without stressing neighbors
Works on the spine, hips, shoulders, wrists, and other extremity joints
Often reduces surrounding muscle guarding faster than manual adjusting
Safe for a wide range of ages and conditions
The basics
About arthrostim adjusting
The Arthrostim instrument works by sending a series of rapid, controlled impulses into a restricted joint at a frequency that activates the body's own neurological reset response. Each gentle tap encourages the joint to move more freely, releases tight surrounding muscles, and sends updated motion signals to the brain — all without the rotation or pressure of a manual adjustment. The result feels more like a firm tap than a "crack," and most patients find it immediately comfortable.
This approach is not a lesser version of chiropractic care — it's a different and often superior tool for specific situations. Patients who are post-surgical, highly sensitive to pain, osteoporotic, pregnant, anxious about manual adjusting, or simply prefer a softer technique frequently get outstanding results with Arthrostim. It's also valuable when a joint is so inflamed or guarded that a manual thrust would trigger too much muscle resistance to be effective.

What is Arthrostim adjusting?
Arthrostim adjusting uses a small, hand-held instrument to deliver a precise series of rapid, low-force impulses to restricted spinal joints and extremities. Each gentle tap fires at a frequency that triggers the body’s neurological response — the same response that a traditional manual adjustment achieves with a single high-velocity thrust — but without any twisting, popping, or significant force. The result is restored joint motion, reduced muscle tightness, and improved communication between the nervous system and the brain, delivered in a way that most patients find genuinely comfortable.
Dr. Azien Mousavi uses the Arthrostim as a primary or complementary adjusting tool, depending on what your spine needs and what you prefer. It’s not a shortcut or a lesser option — it’s a different and often superior tool for the right situation.
What to expect
Your first visit starts with a thorough exam — health history, orthopedic and movement testing, and a conversation about your goals and any concerns you have about treatment. Once we determine that Arthrostim is the right fit, care begins.
During each session:
- Positioning — you’re seated or lying comfortably on the table, depending on the areas being addressed.
- Instrument adjusting — Dr. Mousavi places the Arthrostim tip on the target joint and delivers a brief sequence of gentle impulses. You’ll feel a light, rapid tapping — not pressure or pain.
- Real-time check — we assess joint motion and muscle tension after each segment to confirm it’s releasing before moving on.
- Review — we discuss what was found and adjusted, and what you should notice over the next day or two.
Sessions typically run 10–20 minutes. Many patients feel looser and more comfortable immediately; others notice the full benefit over 24–48 hours as the nervous system integrates the changes.
Who it helps
Arthrostim adjusting is an excellent fit for patients who:
- Are nervous about traditional chiropractic “cracking” or have had a bad experience elsewhere
- Have back pain or neck pain driven by restricted joints but significant surrounding muscle guarding
- Experience headaches or migraines tied to upper cervical and thoracic restrictions
- Live with hip pain or other extremity joint restrictions
- Have osteoporosis, recent surgery, or another condition that calls for low-force care
- Are elderly, young children, or anyone who simply prefers a gentler technique
If you’re unsure whether Arthrostim is right for you, the exam will answer that — and we’ll explain our reasoning in clear, everyday terms.

What is Arthrostim adjusting?+
Arthrostim is a handheld chiropractic instrument that delivers rapid, low-force repetitive impulses to restricted spinal joints and extremities. It restores normal joint motion and calms surrounding muscle tension without the twist or "crack" of a manual adjustment.
Does Arthrostim adjusting hurt?+
No — most patients describe it as a light, rapid tapping sensation that feels nothing like what they feared. Because the force is low and highly controlled, even patients with significant pain or sensitivity usually find it completely tolerable.
How is Arthrostim different from manual chiropractic adjusting?+
A manual adjustment uses a short, fast thrust applied by hand. Arthrostim replaces that with a series of gentler, repetitive mechanical impulses at a controlled frequency. The therapeutic goal — restoring joint motion and improving neurological signaling — is the same; the method is much softer.
Who is a good candidate for Arthrostim?+
Anyone who prefers a gentle technique, feels anxious about traditional adjusting, has osteoporosis or other conditions that call for low force, is recovering from surgery, or has a joint so inflamed that manual adjusting would be too uncomfortable. It's also excellent for children and older adults.
How many sessions will I need?+
It varies by how long the problem has been present and how your body responds. After your exam Dr. Mousavi provides a specific, time-bound care plan with a clear finish line — not an open-ended schedule.
Is Arthrostim adjusting safe?+
Yes. The low force levels make it one of the safest chiropractic tools available. We screen every patient at the first visit to confirm candidacy and tailor the protocol to your situation.
Can Arthrostim help with neck pain and headaches?+
Absolutely. Cervical and upper-thoracic joint restrictions are a common driver of both neck pain and tension headaches. The instrument's precision allows Dr. Mousavi to target those joints gently without the head rotation that concerns some patients.
Will my insurance cover instrument adjusting?+
Instrument-assisted chiropractic adjustments are billed as chiropractic manipulation and are typically covered the same as manual adjustments under plans that include chiropractic benefits. We verify your benefits before your first visit so there are no surprises.
Can Arthrostim be combined with other treatments?+
Yes, and it often is. Dr. Mousavi frequently pairs Arthrostim with soft-tissue therapy and corrective exercise to address the full picture — not just the restricted joint.
Do I have to choose between Arthrostim and manual adjusting?+
Not at all. Some patients do best with Arthrostim exclusively; others benefit from a mix of techniques. We use whichever approach — or combination — gives you the best outcome for your spine and your comfort level.
