OUR SERVICES
Activator Method®
This is the most popular form of low force adjusting in the profession and we offer the only Advanced Certified Activator Method® chiropractor in the entire Napa Valley.
The Activator technique incorporates the latest in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations in order to evaluate the health and alignment of your spine. While you are lying face down, we will evaluate the length of your legs. Changes in this length coupled with specific movements or pressure helps identify the presence of your subluxations. This specific protocol identifies what to adjust, where to adjust and when not to adjust.
The adjusting instrument known as an Activator is a handheld spring loaded device that delivers a consistent high speed, low force thrust designed to restore normal alignment and motion to the targeted joint. The effectiveness of this gentle force is based on the fact that the impulse delivered is so fast that the body’s muscles are unable to tighten and resist the treatment. This highly specific, low force approach is also ideally suited for elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, ribs and other joints of the body.
Once the adjustment has been delivered, we re-test to ensure that proper alignment has been restored or if further testing is required. This follow up helps us deliver the highest quality of care while ensuring patient satisfaction.
