Chiropractic

Are gentle, low force techniques named due to the relationship between the cranium (skull bones) and the sacrum (base of the spine). It may involve the use of blocks or wedges, an adjusting tool (called an activator), and finger pressure corrections. This is our preferred technique for children and babies.

This technique uses a small, hand-held instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. It delivers a gentle impulse force to the spine with the goal of restoring motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or joint.

The Activator Method is one of the most widely-researched chiropractic techniques. It is the only instrument adjusting technique with 23 clinical trials to support its efficacy. Activator Methods has published hundreds of clinical and scientific peer-reviewed papers.

Chiropractic care may also involve other natural forms of health care including stretching and exercise suggestions, soft tissue work, massage, nutritional advice, ergonomic and postural advice, lifestyle and health education information.
