Activator Technique

When I talk with people who have never been to a chiropractor they may say, “I don’t want my neck twisted around, it looks like it is a harsh method and that it hurts.” I understand many have ideas about traditional chiropractic care from what they have heard from friends. They may have seen a chiropractor on the internet adjusting with a fast and forceful technique. I can see how they would be afraid to get adjusted.

What I love about using the Activator Adjusting Instrument is that it is gentle and comfortable for patients of all ages. The method is specific meaning by muscle testing the body, I know if the correction was successful. During the adjustment, I check every bone in the body from the head, spine, arms, legs, hips, hands and feet. This way the entire body is returned to balance and alignment.

The Activator Adjusting Instrument is the tool more doctors choose to deliver low force chiropractic adjustments. It 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.

Patients of all ages enjoy the benefits of an Activator adjustment. The technique is especially helpful for children who sometimes have trouble lying still. 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 and my ability to pinpoint the exact location of the problem through Activator analysis can relieve a patient’s pain without discomfort.

By restoring spinal balance, chiropractic care aids the body in healing itself. The Activator Method accomplishes this goal through safe, effective, and gentle low force adjustments.
