​The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique uses a small, hand-held instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument to deliver a gentle impulse force to the spine with the goal of restoring motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or joint.
This technique is used mostly to adjust children, babies and elderly. This device puts a controlled force into the spine. Settings to change the strength of the thrust can be adjusted according to the area of spine and size of patient. Activator method is considered one of the safest chiropractic techniques.
