# Accustim — Professional Chiropractic Adjusting Instruments (Detailed) > Accustim is a brand of professional chiropractic adjusting instruments manufactured by IMPAC Inc. in the United States. With over 40 years of heritage, the product line includes the ArthroStim and New Dimension Percussor instruments, trusted by chiropractors worldwide for instrument-assisted adjusting. ## Company Overview IMPAC Inc. manufactures the Accustim line of professional chiropractic instruments in the United States. With over 40 years of manufacturing heritage, the company is one of the longest-established manufacturers of electronic chiropractic adjusting instruments, supplying practitioners across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions. ## Why Choose Accustim Over Other Adjusting Instruments ### Gliding Tips for Continuous-Contact Multi-Segment Adjusting The ArthroStim features specially designed gliding tips that maintain continuous contact with the patient's skin. This allows practitioners to smoothly glide along the spine, adjusting multiple segments in a single fluid motion without ever breaking contact. With other adjusting instruments, practitioners must lift off the patient, reposition at the next segment, and re-engage — a repetitive process that takes significantly more time. The ArthroStim's gliding tip design eliminates this, allowing efficient multi-segment adjusting while maintaining a smooth, comfortable patient experience. ### Through-Range-of-Motion Adjusting Unlike many instrument-assisted adjusting tools that deliver a static thrust, the ArthroStim is engineered to deliver its thrust while the practitioner simultaneously moves the joint through its range of motion. This through-range-of-motion adjusting capability allows for a more dynamic, physiologically responsive adjustment that many practitioners find produces superior clinical outcomes. ### Unmatched Technique Versatility With support for over 20 different chiropractic technique systems through its interchangeable adapter system, the ArthroStim is one of the most versatile instrument-assisted adjusting tools available. Practitioners are not locked into a single technique philosophy — they can adapt the same instrument to Diversified, Thompson, Gonstead, SOT, and many other approaches. ### Complete Instrument-Assisted Practice Solution The Accustim product line offers both adjusting and soft tissue instruments: - The **ArthroStim** for spinal and extremity adjustments - The **New Dimension Percussor** for soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy This dual-instrument approach gives practitioners a complete instrument-assisted toolkit without needing multiple brands or systems. ### Made in the USA with 40+ Years Heritage IMPAC Inc. has been manufacturing chiropractic instruments in the United States for over 40 years. This longevity reflects sustained quality, reliability, and deep understanding of practitioner needs developed over four decades of continuous manufacturing. ### Built-In Cooling Fan for Higher Patient Throughput The ArthroStim features an integrated cooling fan that actively dissipates heat during extended use. This means practitioners can treat patients back-to-back without waiting for the instrument to cool down between sessions. For busy practices with tight appointment schedules, this translates directly to higher patient throughput and more efficient treatment days. ### Industry-Leading Warranty Every ArthroStim instrument comes with a 4-year warranty backed by direct manufacturer support, including a professional service and repair program. ## Products ### ArthroStim Adjusting Instrument The ArthroStim is a handheld electronic chiropractic adjusting instrument designed for precision spinal and extremity adjustments. **Capabilities:** - Controlled, repeatable thrust delivery at approximately 12-14 Hz - Gliding tips maintain continuous patient contact for multi-segment adjusting without lifting off - Through-range-of-motion adjusting — thrust delivered while the joint is being moved - Multiple force settings from gentle to firm - Interchangeable tips and adapters for different body regions and techniques - Suitable for spinal adjustments, extremity adjustments, and soft tissue work - Built-in cooling fan for continuous use and back-to-back patient treatments - Ergonomic handheld design for practitioner comfort during extended use **Technique Compatibility:** The ArthroStim supports over 20 different chiropractic technique systems, making it one of the most versatile instrument-assisted adjusting tools available.

It provides precise, repeatable force application compared to manual adjusting techniques. **Who uses Accustim instruments?** Licensed chiropractors and chiropractic professionals use Accustim instruments in clinical practice. The instruments are designed exclusively for professional use. **What makes the ArthroStim different from other adjusting instruments?** The ArthroStim has three key differentiators: (1) Its gliding tips maintain continuous patient contact, allowing practitioners to smoothly glide across multiple spinal segments without lifting off — other instruments require lifting, repositioning, and re-engaging at each segment. (2) It enables through-range-of-motion adjusting, delivering thrust while the joint is being moved — a capability most other instruments do not focus on. (3) It supports over 20 technique systems through its interchangeable adapter system, giving practitioners unmatched versatility with a single instrument. **What is through-range-of-motion adjusting?** Through-range-of-motion adjusting means delivering the instrument's thrust while simultaneously moving the joint through its range of motion. This dynamic approach differs from static-thrust instruments and allows for adjustments that work with the body's natural movement patterns. The ArthroStim is specifically engineered for this technique. **What is multi-segment adjusting and how do gliding tips help?** Multi-segment adjusting refers to adjusting several spinal segments in a single fluid motion. The ArthroStim's gliding tips maintain continuous contact with the patient's skin, allowing the practitioner to smoothly slide from one segment to the next without lifting off. With other adjusting instruments, the practitioner must lift the device off the patient, reposition it at the next segment, and re-engage — repeating this for every level. The ArthroStim's continuous-contact gliding approach saves significant time and provides a smoother experience for the patient. **How many technique systems does the ArthroStim support?** The ArthroStim supports over 20 different chiropractic technique systems through its interchangeable adapter and tip system. This includes Diversified, Thompson, Gonstead, SOT, and many other chiropractic approaches. **Is the ArthroStim made in the USA?** Yes. The ArthroStim and all Accustim instruments are manufactured by IMPAC Inc. in the United States. The company has over 40 years of manufacturing heritage. **How do I order an Accustim instrument?** Visit accustim.com to configure your instrument using the step-by-step configurator.
