How the Activator Method Can Benefit You

At Newton Center Chiropractic, our team of experts considers the activator method an excellent way to manipulate the spine. Given the speed of this device, you're less likely to have tense muscles during the treatment procedure. Additionally, you should receive this procedure at our facility because it can localize treatment to a smaller area like single vertebrae. Our Newton team can help you find natural relief from whatever pain or discomfort you may be experiencing by utilizing the activator method.

How Does the Activator Method Work?

The activator method is a manual manipulation technique used by our chiropractors to ease neck and back pain. This chiropractic treatment uses an adjusting tool as an alternative to the common manipulations like the diversified technique. A unique aspect of the activator device is that it mimics manual spinal adjustment effects.

Before our chiropractors consider this form of chiropractic care, we will perform a routine examination to identify particular spinal joint dysfunctions. After the assessment is done, our experienced chiropractors will apply the device to the affected region. Patients will feel an initial pressure followed by a quick thrust similar to a doctor testing your knee reflexes.

Treatment Plan Patients Should Expect

Our chiropractors may recommend regular visits at least twice a week for six weeks for patients undergoing this treatment method. However, this will depend on whether a patient shows improvement. If a patient doesn't feel any pain after the third or fourth treatment, our specialist will stop the procedure then re-evaluate the symptoms.  In some cases, our specialist may recommend a different type of chiropractic manipulation.

Why Seek Our Activator Chiropractic Care Method?

Unlike the different forms of chiropractic treatment, our activator instrumented-assisted chiropractic treatment has distinct advantages.

• A Quick Application Method – This device application method is quick, and a patient's muscles won't become tense and resist the treatment. Since it lacks muscle resistance, this form of treatment is very effective at easing pain.
• A More Controlled Force – When our chiropractors use this treatment option, we apply force on a specific area that requires adjustment. This ensures that a patient's joint isn't put in a compromised position.
