Activator Adjusting Technique
The Activator Method is one of the most widely used low-force chiropractic techniques in the world. Using a specialized adjusting instrument, this gentle approach delivers precise, controlled adjustments without the twisting or popping associated with manual manipulation.

What to Expect
The Activator adjustment begins with a thorough analysis using leg length checks and other diagnostic procedures to identify areas of spinal dysfunction. The Activator instrument is then used to deliver a quick, low-force thrust to specific vertebrae or joints. You'll feel a light tapping sensation, but no forceful pressure or twisting.
This technique is particularly well-suited for patients who are nervous about traditional adjustments, have acute pain, or prefer a gentler approach. The Activator delivers its adjustment faster than the body can react, allowing the adjustment to occur before muscles can tense up and resist. Despite its gentle nature, the Activator Method has been extensively researched and proven effective for a wide range of conditions. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing.
