Conditions Treated With the Activator Technique Many patients simply prefer the gentlest, lightest adjustment technique available, which makes them ideal candidates for the Activator Technique. As a result, your muscles put up less resistance to the adjustments, allowing them to achieve the desired effects more easily. Additionally, the adjustments happen so quickly that the muscles don't even have time to react to them. The gentle nature of the Activator Technique makes it extremely comfortable and safe even for infants and seniors. When triggered by our chiropractor, the device delivers a tiny, quick thrust that shifts joint components into their optimal positions quickly and accurately. The Activator itself is a mechanical or electronic device placed against the joint in need of correction. It is designed to provide a smaller, gentler, more precise correction than manual techniques can offer, while at the same making adjustments physically easier for the chiropractor. The Activator Technique, also referred to as the Activator Method, is an FDA-approved chiropractic technique that underwent three decades of development and 15 years of testing before taking its place as one of the most popular of all chiropractic techniques.
