While the chiropractor controls the activator by holding it, the impulse force delivered to the targeted muscles does not come from the hands but from the tool’s mechanic force. With the Activator Method, the Activator tool does the work of the chiropractor. The Activator Technique is a gentler spinal manipulation method than the traditional chiropractic option, which involves manipulating the vertebrae manually using the hands.

The technique involves using a small handheld tool, referred to as an activator or an Activator Adjusting Instrument, to restore spine motion by delivering gentle and targeted impulses on the muscles.
