Activator Method Chiropractic in Savannah & Pooler, GA
If you’re looking for a softer, non-invasive chiropractic treatment, the Activator Method offers targeted adjustments using a small handheld device — no twisting, cracking, or popping.
What is the Activator Method?
The activator method chiropractic technique is a treatment that uses a device as an alternative to manual manipulation of the spine. At Wetherington Chiropractic Clinic, we find many patients who benefit from this type of technique.
The device is categorized as a mechanical force manual-assisted instrument, which is generally regarded as a much softer chiropractic treatment technique than the regular chiropractic adjustments by hand.
The activator is a small handheld spring-loaded instrument that delivers a small impulse to the spine. Dr. Wetherington first locates a vertebra that is out of alignment, positions the activator in just the right location, and then gently squeezes the handle.
Each adjustment uses approximately 0.3 joules of kinetic energy in a quick, 3-millisecond pulse — enough to move a vertebra back into place but gentle enough to avoid discomfort.
Why Choose the Activator Method?
The Activator has two key advantages, and many patients prefer it for its comfort, safety, and reliability, especially for sensitive areas like the neck or lower back.
SPEED
The instrument moves so quickly that your muscles don’t have time to tense, making the adjustment smoother and more effective.
PRECISION
The force is highly targeted, meaning no twisting, popping, or unnecessary pressure.
