Activator Methods | Annapolis
The Activator approach offers a non-invasive path, using a state-of-the-art adjusting instrument to treat the back, neck, and extremities.
Targeted Treatment for Effective Relief
The Activator Methods chiropractic technique employs a unique spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument allowing a controlled, low-force impulse at specific points along the body. This method is renowned for its speed and measured force, significantly reducing the body's tendency to resist treatment, thus enhancing its effectiveness.
Dr. Schwartz can deliver precise, safe, and comfortable adjustments with the Activator, focusing on restoring function without the discomfort associated with traditional manual adjustments. Dr. Schwartz uses the Activator Method both with the Atlas adjustment and independently to correct misalignments of the neck, spine, and extremities.
Understanding the Activator Adjusting Instrument
The Activator adjusting instrument is a cornerstone of this chiropractic technique, providing targeted impulses that are fast enough to bypass the muscles’ tendency to tense up and resist manipulation. This ensures a more effective treatment that is comfortable for the patient.
Dr. Schwartz uses this technique to address spinal misalignment and mobility issues, offering a healing experience that is both effective and devoid of pain.
How Activator Methods Enhance Chiropractic Care
The Activator Methods incorporate a systematic approach to chiropractic care. We’ll start with a thorough evaluation of your spinal alignment and function.
This technique is particularly beneficial for sensitive areas as it avoids the twisting, turning, or "cracking" often associated with manual adjustments. Each session with the Activator instrument is precise, meaning Dr. Schwartz can apply just the right amount of force at critical junctures to promote healthy spinal motion and relieve pain.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
During an Activator Methods treatment, you will typically lie face down on the adjustment table. Dr. Schwartz will use the Activator instrument to apply a quick, gentle force to specific points along your spine or extremities, targeting the areas that show signs of pain or dysfunction.
