What is an activator?

We often hear people say that they don’t know how they feel about manual manipulations. That’s where the activator comes in!

It’s a small, handheld instrument used to deliver gentle, precise adjustments to the spine or other joints. It delivers a controlled, quick impulse to help restore proper motion in the joint. We love this method for patients who:

+ Prefer a softer approach to chiropractic care
+ Are pregnant
+ Are bringing in babies or kids for gentle adjustments
+ Feel anxious about manual adjustments

The activator helps us target specific areas with accuracy while keeping the adjustment light, fast and comfortable — all with the goal of helping the nervous system function better and reducing tension in the body.
