About Activator Methods
What is the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique?

Evolved from nearly 40 years of empirical study and 15 years of clinical research, the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) uses the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to seek joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities for improved patient care. AMCT uses the Activator Adjusting Instrument to give consistent low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustments. Over 35,000 doctors have been trained in AMCT and 2,100 doctors are Proficiency Rated, making AMCT the most widely used technique worldwide; a testament to low force patient satisfaction.

 

Your Care Is My First Priority

Activator Methods equips capable doctors to provide high-quality patient care. Technique seminars are constantly given around the world to instruct and certify doctors as Basic or Advanced Proficiency Rated AMCT doctors. With the proficiency rating doctors automatically become part of Activator Method's worldwide referral service, and patients can rest assured that their care will be world-class.

        Activator Is More Then A Technique

           What Pain Can the Activator Treat?

The Activator treatment is one of the most effective treatments for back and neck pain, but is especially effective for hard to treat areas, such as wrists, knees, ankles, and other painful extremities.  It is very difficult and uncomfortable for traditional, manual chiropractic techniques to effectively treat some of these specific regions.  The Activator can be applied directly and specifically to these areas to bring pain relief.  Some of the more common complaints we treat are... 
Neck Pain
Sciatica
Disc Problem
Whiplash
Carpal Tunnel Pain
Headaches
Shoulder Pain
Knee Pain
Sacro-iliac Pain
Low back pain


This unique hand-held instrument will give you a very specific, “low-force” adjustment, with no "twisting", "popping", or "cracking", allowing for all the theraputic benefit of chiropractic in a comfortable, stress free environment.


I have never had chiropractic care before and was hesitant to undergo "bone crunching", so I was pleasantly surprised to find treatment gentle, but effective.  I was having large amounts of low back pain that would wake me up at night, but now, NO BACK PAIN!! I am able to sleep well, exercise vigourously and not have any discomfort.
