Introducing the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique

One of the techniques we use to address joint dysfunction that leads to neck pain is the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique. This gentle, low-force chiropractic technique utilizes a handheld instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. It delivers a precise, targeted adjustment to specific areas of the spine, promoting mobility, alignment, decrease in inflammation and relieves pressure on the nerves, without having to twist or “crack” your neck.

Studies suggest that cervical adjustments performed with an Activator can produce immediate benefits to treat cervical spine pain. In a controlled trial, several techniques of cervical manipulation were performed, and patients reported substantial pain decrease.

Benefits of Activator Methods

Precision: The Activator Adjusting Instrument allows for precise adjustments, ensuring optimal results with minimal force.

Comfort: Activator Methods offer a gentle approach to chiropractic care, making it suitable for patients of all ages, including children and the elderly. The Activator Instrument is 200-1000 times faster than traditional manual adjustments, and we do not have to twist or pop your neck to promote improved joint function and reduce pain.

Effectiveness: Research has shown Activator Methods to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with neck pain, headaches, low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Personalized Care: Our chiropractors are trained in Activator Methods and will tailor your treatment plan to suit your unique needs and preferences.

Beyond Chiropractic care

In addition to Activator Methods chiropractic adjustments, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating neck pain that may include additional therapies tailored to your specific needs. Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic technique used to reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation, and promote healing in the affected area. This non-invasive treatment involves the application of gentle electrical impulses to targeted muscles, helping to alleviate tension and discomfort. Furthermore, our in-office rehabilitation services are designed to enhance strength, flexibility, and overall function in the neck and surrounding areas. Our skilled team will work closely with you to develop a personalized rehabilitation program that addresses your unique concerns and goals. Additionally, we may recommend exercises and stretches that you can perform at home to complement your in-office care and promote long-term healing and stability. By combining these various treatment modalities, we aim to provide comprehensive relief and support for individuals suffering from neck pain.
