Activator Method Chiropractic in Seattle WA
What Is the Activator Method?
The Activator Method is a gentle way to adjust the spine and other areas of the body.
Instead of using the hands to twist or move your body, your chiropractor uses a small handheld tool called an Activator Adjusting Instrument. The tool gives a very quick and gentle tap to the area being adjusted.
Think of it like a small, precise tap that helps your chiropractor work on exactly the area that needs attention.
At MG Chiropractic in Seattle WA, Dr. Mason Greenslade uses the Activator Method for patients who prefer a gentle approach to chiropractic care.
How Does the Activator Method Work?
The Activator is a small tool that delivers a quick, controlled impulse.
Here's the simple version:
- Dr. Greenslade checks how your body is moving and determines where an adjustment may be needed.
- He places the Activator on a specific area of your body.
- The instrument delivers a quick, gentle tap.
- Dr. Greenslade checks your movement and response as he continues your care.
Because the Activator moves so quickly, the adjustment can be performed without the twisting or cracking many people associate with traditional chiropractic care.
Does the Activator Method Hurt?
The Activator Method is designed to use low force.
Most patients feel a quick tap from the instrument rather than the larger movements that can happen with a traditional manual adjustment.
If you've been nervous about visiting a chiropractor because you don't like the idea of your neck or back being twisted or “cracked,” talk with Dr. Greenslade about whether Activator Method chiropractic care may be a good fit for you.
Why Does MG Chiropractic Use the Activator Method?
Every patient is different, and chiropractic care doesn't have to look the same for everyone.
Dr. Greenslade uses the Activator Method because it allows him to make small, targeted adjustments using a controlled amount of force.
This approach can be especially appealing to people who want chiropractic care but prefer a gentler technique without the popping and cracking commonly associated with manual adjustments.
What Can I Expect at My Appointment?
Your visit starts with understanding you.
Dr. Greenslade will talk with you about what you're experiencing and evaluate how your body is moving. He can then determine where chiropractic care may be appropriate and explain what he's doing before using the Activator.
Have questions? Ask! We want you to understand your care and feel comfortable with the process.
