I added a foot detox to my service menu. Before you decide whether it's for you, a few things worth knowing about what this actually is, and what unit I'm using.
What the session is.
Thirty minutes. You sit comfortably with your feet in a basin of warm salted water while a low-level current passes through it. The session is non-invasive, relaxing, and requires no recovery time.
What it actually does, clinically.
The honest framing is that this is a nervous system regulation tool. Warm water immersion plus the ionic current activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part of your nervous system responsible for rest, repair, and recovery. For anyone running on chronic sympathetic activation (most people), this is a direct downshift input. It also supports lymphatic movement and gives your body a structured 30 minutes of stillness, which on its own has therapeutic value.
Some people feel calmer, sleep better, or have more energy after sessions, and those are real outcomes worth tracking.
Why this specific unit.
The unit I use is the IonCleanse Solo by AMD (A Major Difference, Inc.). AMD has built a clinical reputation in this category over many years, and their unit is engineered for clinical use in three specific ways:
Dual polarity array (AMD's patent). The array switches between positive and negative charges during the session. This is the mechanism most directly tied to the parasympathetic response the unit elicits.
Medical-grade power supply built to the IEC60601-1 standard. This is the same electrical safety standard used in clinical medical devices. The result is clean, filtered energy rather than the unfiltered output that other brands may have, which can introduce stray electromagnetic frequencies during a session.
FCC and CE certifications stamped on the unit itself, not just the power cord. Built-in safeguards also prevent any risk of shocking the user.
The array, the controller, and the safety architecture are all built for clinical use, not adapted from a battery charger or industrial power supply.
How to book.
As an add-on to a chiropractic visit: $40. Extends your appointment by 30 minutes. The most efficient way to fit it in if you are already coming in.
As a standalone session: $55. If you want the foot detox without other care that day. Book online as its own service.
Who it is not for.
Pacemakers, open wounds on the feet, or current pregnancy are all reasons to skip this one. If you are not sure whether it fits your situation, ask at your next visit or text.
