Activator Chiropractor Ottawa
Activator instrument adjusting was co-developed by Dr. Arlan W.Fuhr D.C. and evolved from nearly 40 years of empirical study and 15 years of clinical research.
The doctors of Preston Health Collective use a number of adjusting instruments and routinely use the Activator instrument to deliver low-force , high-speed chiropractic adjustments.
The reason the doctors use this instrument is that it optimizes the conditions to create an effective, accurate, successful adjustment every time it is used. The Activator instrument helps to accomplish this by allowing the following:
- Patient Comfort
- Speed
- Variable Force
- Directional Specificity
- Accuracy.
- Consistency
Comfort: Patient comfort is one of the biggest advantages of this type of low force adjusting. The unique design of the Activator allows an adjustment to be applied to the joint while not causing any cracking or popping noises during the adjustment. This allows the client to relax as the Chiropractor adjusts the rest of the spine.
Speed: This refers to the ability of the Activator instrument to deliver the adjustment rapidly every single time it is used.
Variable force: The instrument can be turned up or down depending on the amount of force necessary for the specific area being adjusted.
Directional specificity: The instrument allows the Chiropractor to ensure they have the Activator in the perfect direction (vector) which allows the force of the adjustment to pass directly to the joint that is being adjusted.
Accuracy: The small adjusting head of the Activator allows the force to be administered to only the joint that needs to be adjusted as well as minimizing the force necessary to make the adjustment.
Consistency: Due to the mechanical nature of the Activator instrument it is designed to repeat the low force adjustment at exactly the same speed every time. This allows the Chiropractor to know that they will get consistent results with each adjustment.
