Created by Dr. Arlan Fuhr, the activator methods technique is one of the most common therapeutic methods chiropractors use to treat various complaints related to the spine and joints. This technique utilizes a small handheld spring-loaded instrument called an activator to apply low-force adjustments to targeted areas.
It is a pain-free and effective treatment for people of all age groups, including children and seniors. The activator methods technique is commonly used to address a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, like:
Our chiropractor will evaluate your symptoms to identify the underlying cause of your pain. Then, you will be asked to lie face down on the adjustment table. During the activator instrument adjustment, the chiropractor places the device against the targeted area of the spine or joint. When activated, the instrument delivers a quick and controlled thrust.
The treatment usually begins with the lower back and then moves to other areas, such as the head, focusing on each vertebral segment. The activator methods technique may help reduce joint inflammation and stiffness to strengthen your muscles and maintain overall spinal health.
