How Chiropractors Use the Activator Technique in Treatment
Advertisement
The Activator Methods technique has been used in chiropractic care for over 40 years, and has helped thousands of people improve spinal health and enjoy a healthier lifestyle without drugs or surgery. The technique was introduced in the late 1960s, and is a systematic, low-intensity approach for restoring spinal balance.
If you suffer from frequent migraines, upper or lower back pain, or have poor posture, your chiropractic doctor may use Activator Methods to restore spinal health and functioning. Here’s a close look at how the Activator Methods technique is used in chiropractic treatments, and the different types of benefits it offers.
What is the Activator Technique?
The Activator Technique was designed to address spinal joint dysfunction. If you are experiencing headaches, anxiety, depression or other health problems associated with the nervous system, your spine may not be aligned properly. Spinal dysfunction can also be the primary cause of back pain, leg pain, and problems with your circulation.
The Activator Methods are a series of joint and muscle manipulation using an instrument called the Activator. This hand-held instrument helps the chiropractic doctor perform ‘low force’ adjustments on various parts of the body, without causing excessive stress or pain to the patient. The adjustments are performing quickly and with very light pressure so that the muscles can be ‘reactivated’ and the spinal column can be aligned easily.
Benefits of the Activator Technique
One of the primary benefits of the Activator Technique is that the doctor can focus on just one specific area while performing the adjustment. Since different parts of the body and spine are associated with the performance of different organs, the chiropractor can pinpoint exactly what needs to be corrected, and use the Activator instrument only on the areas that really need treatment.
This targeted treatment can help to correct the exact misalignment in the body that is causing many of your health problems.
The Activator Methods and techniques can be used to correct the following conditions:
- Low back pain
- Whiplash from an accident
- Headaches or migraines
- Knee pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Shoulder pain
- Sacro-lliac pain
- Sciatia
- Disc problems
- Problem associated with the central nervous system
- Anxiety disorders
- Effects of depression
- Posture problems
The Activator Methods are backed by over 15 years of clinical research, and over 35,000 doctors in the United States have been trained to use these techniques to perform spinal adjustments. Chiropractors use a variety of different techniques to restore joint and musculo-skeletal functioning so that the spinal column is performing properly, and that your nerves, muscles and connective tissues are functioning at their optimal level.
Chiropractors use a non-surgical approach to treat the cause, not just the symptoms, of poor health. Individuals who have become dependent on painkillers, muscle relaxers or even hot packs to manage pain can benefit from non-invasive, drug-free solutions that chiropractors offer.
Contact a chiropractor in your area if you are suffering from back pain, anxiety, or other health problems, and learn about the latest drug-free solutions such as the Activator Methods to restore your body to a better state of health.
