What is an Activator ?
Activator is a gentle low-force approach to chiropractic care. The technique has been used safely on patients of all ages since the 1960s, bringing relief to people with a variety of health concerns.
The Activator Method chiropractic technique uses a spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument called the Activator adjusting instrument. This instrument allows chiropractors to provide a quick, low-force impulse at specific points.
There are two advantages of an Activator instrument-assisted treatment:
High speed. The instrument is so quick that the body's muscles are less likely to tense in response, and resist the treatment. The lack of muscle resistance may facilitate the treatment’s effectiveness.
Controlled force. The applied force is localized and does not put the joint in any compromised positions, such as bending or twisting.
This provides those patients who are in a certian condition were they cannot receive manual adjustments, the same outcome as which they would've gotten with manual manipulation.
