Activator adjustments

The term "adjustment" refers to the specific manipulation chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. The objective of the chiropractic treatment is to restore normal motion, which results in decreased interference, decreased inflammation, reduced nerve irritability and improved overall function.

At Still Chiropractic, Dr. Still uses a tool (seen here) called the Activator, and the corresponding analysis method to determine where to adjust. The Activator delivers a high speed/low pressure thrust which is comfortable, safe and highly effective. Another benefit that patients find with the Activator method is that there is no "crack" sound, which some people find unnerving with traditional chiropractic. Many people who have been afraid of traditional chiropractic have found relief with Activator. Additional information about the Activator technique is available at http://www.activator.com/common_activator.asp .

As the Activator technique is always evolving, the founders of the technique require annual recertification. When seeking an Activator doctor, make sure they are listed on www.activator.com. Owning the tool is different from using the protocols day in and day out.
