What to Expect

The Activator Adjusting Instrument is a handheld, spring-loaded tool that delivers a precise, gentle adjustment. Each quick, low-force thrust is targeted at just the right angle to restore motion to the joint.

Because it’s much faster than adjustments done by hand, your body has less chance to tense up, making the process both comfortable and effective. The Activator can be used not only for spinal adjustments, but also for elbows, wrists, knees, and other joints.



Best of all? If you’re nervous about hearing a ‘crack,’ there’s no need to worry; this method doesn’t produce the popping sound often associated with manual adjustments.

The Follow Up

After your adjustment, we retest to ensure the desired changes have been achieved. This post-check allows us to confirm that your body is responding as expected, helping us maintain the highest standard of care so you can leave feeling confident and supported.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long until I'm feeling better?

    Every patient’s healing journey is unique. Some people notice relief after just one visit, while others, especially those with long-standing or chronic concerns, experience gradual improvement over several weeks or months. Throughout your care, we’ll regularly assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to help you achieve the best results possible.

  • Can this be used in addition to other modalities?

    Absolutely. We customize care for every patient. If we believe the Activator, along with another technique, will give you the best results, we’ll recommend it.
