Activator Method

Activator Methods Technique is one of the most widely utilized and researched techniques within the chiropractic profession today. Having been in use for nearly 50 years, it is also the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical trials to support its efficacy and results printed in many peer-review research papers. Activator Methods Technique utilizes a hand held spring loaded adjusting instrument to assist and deliver a controlled light force into the dysfunctional spinal or extremity segment or segments. The impulse or thrust is quicker than the body’s own reflexes, so Activator is based on speed rather than force. Patients of all ages can enjoy the benefits of an Activator adjustment. Activator is suitable for treating patients ranging from pregnant women, babies, youth, athletes and seniors due to the light force nature and pain free delivery. A wide variety of health problems stem from spinal imbalance and dysfunction of the spinal joint. Everyday living, stress and old chronic injuries can cause vertebrae to lose their proper position or motion. This dysfunction can irritate your spinal nerves, causing pain and nerve interference throughout the body. By restoring spinal balance, chiropractic care helps the body in healing itself restoring function.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I have been going to Dr. Thompson for about 1 1/2 years. He and Julie are great. I initially went in because of constant neck and back pain and I was leaning heavily to the right. Dr Thompson explained Activator Methods Technique to me and he worked with me to get me where I am today. I has worked wonders. I now stand up straight and only have occasional lower back pain which is treated on maintenance schedule. I feel so much better and I feel that my overall health has improved. I highly recommend Dr John Thompson."

  • "This was my first experience with any chiropractor. So I was quite apprehensive. I came to Dr. Thompson because he uses the Activator Method of treatment and I was needing relief from sciatic nerve pain. Amazingly I felt some relief after only 3 treatments and now 10 treatments later later I am pain free. It seems like a miracle to me."
