Overview

What Is The Activator Technique?

The Activator Method uses a small, spring-loaded instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument to deliver a gentle, low-force impulse to the spine. The device produces a quick, precise thrust that is so fast the body's muscles don't have time to tense up and resist the adjustment, making it extremely effective and comfortable.

This technique is one of the most researched chiropractic methods in the world and is particularly well-suited for patients who are nervous about traditional manual adjustments, elderly patients, children, and those with acute pain conditions. Dr. Brady often combines the Activator technique with traditional adjustments based on each patient's individual needs and comfort level.
