The Activator Method is an important tool in our chiropractic arsenal

The Activator Method is one of the most important diagnostic and treatment tools we have in our arsenal at Hayes Family Chiropractic; it further diversifies the amount of tools we have at our disposal to help you manage your musculoskeletal disorder. We use the Activator Method to help our patients overcome spinal pain and dysfunction, as well as for releasing trigger points in the musculature. Here are the main benefits of the Activator Method in chiropractic care:

• Detect and treat spinal joint dysfunction
• Identify and correct imbalances in the musculature
• Test neurological reflexes
• Resolve pain in the neck and back
• Address the root cause of certain types of headaches

The Activator Method is the only instrument-assisted technique whose use is supported by clinical trials. So why is this treatment method so effective?

Why we use the Activator Method

As an alternative to manual adjustments, the Activator Method uses a handheld, spring-loaded tool called the Activator Adjusting Instrument to provide rapid, but gentle impulses at targeted points in the musculoskeletal system. As it differs from high velocity, low amplitude thrusts that characterize traditional chiropractic adjustments, Activator adjustments have the advantage of being so fast and imperceptible that your muscles are unable to tense and thereby resist the treatment. The result is improved joint function, better mobility in the musculature and less overall pain.
