Rachel currently holds an advanced proficiency rating in Activator Methods.The Activator Method uses a small, hand-held instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument to deliver a gentle impulse force to the spine with the goal of restoring motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or join This makes it especially suitable for neurologically sensitive patients or older patients including those with arthritis, osteoporosis or other bone-weakening conditions. The area of indicated dysfunction is then adjusted using an Activator adjusting instrument which provides a specific, controlled and fast thrust.īecause adjustments with the instrument are so quick and measured that the body’s muscles are less likely to resist, this allows for a more comfortable, gentle and effective adjustment which many patients enjoy. When an area of dysfunction is identified the patient will show a leg length change. The Activator Method uses specific protocols to detect spinal joint dysfunction that focus on analysing leg-length inequality and testing neurological reflexes to determine where, when and when not to perform an adjustment. It is considered a gentle, low-force approach to chiropractic care.ĭeveloped by Dr Arlan Fuhr (chiropractor) in the late 1960’s, the Activator Method has grown to now become the world’s most widely-used low force instrument chiropractic technique because of its specificity, effectiveness and gentle nature.
The Activator Method® is one of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques and the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical trials to support its efficacy.
