ACTIVATOR ADJUSTMENTS/ MANIPULATION
The term "adjustment" refers to the specific manipulation chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. The objective of the chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxation, which results in an increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritability and improved function.
Dr. Johansen utilizes either the "hands on" or the "activator method of adjustments but his preferred technique is the use of the"Activator" to address spinal joint dysfunction. He uses an instrument called the Activator. This unique hand-held instrument was scientifically designed to give you a very specific adjustment.
The Activator instrument delivers a controlled, light and fast thrust, without causing undue strain to patients. Activator adjustments are so quick and controlled, your body's muscles are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise and exact adjustment.
One of the unique features of the Activator Technique is that we can zero in on the exact area of the body that is causing your health problems.
Thousands of patients throughout the world enjoy, safe, effective chiropractic care with the Activator Technique.
