Whole Body Adjustments (Activator Method)

The Adjustment

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

• A small impulse applied at high speed
• Moves a bone/joint/muscle/nerve complex into proper position

Why does the Adjustment work?

• The quick adjustment impulse breaks the abnormal nerve pattern.
• The impulse affects the nerves supplying muscles that hold the joint in the wrong position.
• Proper nerve pattern is restored.
• Muscles relax.
• Proper joint position is restored.
• Proper body function is restored.

What is different about the Activator Method adjustment compared to the “traditional” chiropractic adjustment?

• You are stationary and move only a small amount.
• You lie on your stomach for most of the adjustments.
• You are not turned or twisted.
• Your whole body is adjusted, starting with your feet.

What can you expect?

• detailed knowledge of your anatomy
• a hand-held instrument to gently adjust joints and bones that are out of position
• the small instrument delivers a fast, low force adjustment
• your body remains in a neutral, relaxed position
• the gentle force of the instrument
• moves your joints
• stimulates your nerves
• relaxes your muscles

*your whole body can be treated in a very specific fashion
*can take fifteen to thirty minutes
*your own body’s reflexes are used to customize the adjustment according to your needs
