The Activator Method:
The Activator Method chiropractic technique is a type of manual manipulation treatment used by chiropractors to treat various types of back and neck pain, as well as extremity complaints. This treatment method uses the Activator adjusting instrument, which is an alternative to traditional manipulation utilizing a high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust.
The Activator instrument can be used on any part of the body where your therapist is looking to introduce more movement.
For many patients this is felt as a lighter version of a manual hands on spinal adjustment, geriatric patients respond very well to this type of treatment.
Talk to Dr. Wagner and see if this treatment technique is right for you.
