Tri-Chiropractic
​
The Activator Method chiropractic technique uses a spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument called the Activator adjusting instrument. This instrument allows Dr. Helen to provide a quick, low-force impulse at specific points.
​
There are two theoretical advantages of an Activator instrument-assisted treatment:
-
High speed. The instrument is so quick that the body's muscles are less likely to tense in response, and resist the treatment. The lack of muscle resistance may facilitate the treatment’s effectiveness.
-
​
-
Controlled force. The applied force is localized and does not put the joint in any compromised positions, such as bending or twisting.
