What is the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique?
Incorporating the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations, this unique system of administering spinal adjustments using research-based analysis and the Activator Adjusting Instrument can help restore spinal balance safely and comfortably.
How Does the Activator Method Work?
The Activator provides a controlled, fast thrust that is comfortable for the patient. In fact, adjustments with the Activator are so quick and measured, the body's muscles are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise and accurate adjustment.
Is the Activator Method right for You?
Patients of all ages can enjoy the benefits of an Activator adjustment. The technique is especially helpful for children who sometimes have trouble lying still. The Activator adjustment is so quick and comfortable, children often look forward to their next visit!
Older patients, or those with arthritis, osteoporosis or other bone-weakening conditions find the Activator Method to be effective and gentle. The low-force thrust of the Activator Adjusting Instruments, and the doctor's ability to pinpoint the exact location of the problem through Activator analysis, can relieve a patient's pain without discomfort.
Is the Activator Method gentle?
Absolutely! Instead of using the twisting, turning, or traditional manual adjustments that people sometimes worry about, we use a small, handheld instrument that delivers a precise, controlled impulse to a specific area of the spine. It's gentle, comfortable, and very effective for patients of all ages. Many people are surprised by how easy it is!
Is the Activator Method only used for the back/spine?
Not at all! Although it is commonly used to adjust the spine, the Activator Method can also be used on many other joints throughout the body, including the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, feet, and TMJ. It's a precise, gentle technique that allows us to address areas of restricted joint motion throughout the body - not just the back and neck.
