What is Activator Method Technique?
Activator Method technique was developed in the late
1960's and in the past 30 years has grown to be the most
widely used low-force technique in chiropractic
manipulative therapy. This specific system of adjusting
has been developed with the ability to restore proper
spinal balance - and to do it with improved safety and
comfort.
The hand held Activator instrument
is a relatively new concept in light force adjusting. It
has been specially designed to deliver a controlled,
light and fast thrust without undue strain to the
patient. The thrust delivered by the instrument is so
quick that it accelerates ahead of the body's own
tendency to tighten up and resist the thrust of an
adjustment. Because of the accuracy and controlled light
force, Activator Methods adjustments are suitable and
comfortable for all types of patients, ranging from
pregnant women, babies and children, to athletes and
senior citizens.
What
can Activator Method Technique treat?
For the past 20 over years, our founder, Choo
Led Sin has been searching for different healing
art and skills. He started as a Bone Setter
apprentice at the early age of 15 under an old
snake oil salesman and kung Fu master (Chinese:
跑江湖). As a Tuina
Practitioner or Manipulative Therapist, one need
to train in application of different
manipulation force. One of the most difficult
force to master is the pulsation force, one even
need some martial art basic in order to master
the application of this force, it is something
like the one inch force, strike or punch
(Chinese: 寸劲). For a human to apply this force,
one need to rotate the forearm from supine to
pronate in order to create this pulsation or
percussion force. It take months or even years
to master this. But Activator Method has solve
the problem. It is best for spinal and joint
subluxation, TCM has a famous quote for Tuina
treatment of 'Tendons out of place and bones
misalignment' (Chinese: 筋出槽、骨错缝). These are the
most common reasons for pain and ache. Activator
Methods will create this pulsation or percussion
force on the small area of human body, eg.
spinal process of the spine. This small force
will align back the subluxation or misalignment
which cause pain and strain. Activator Methods
is one of the best manipulation techniques in
the world. We are honor to be the only one to
apply this techniques in the whole Singapore.
Activator Methods can treat: Ankle Pain,
Back Pain, Heel Pain, Tennis Elbow, Neck Pain,
Knee Pain, Shoulder Problems, Spinal Problem,
TMJ Problem, Wrist Pain and all joints
subluxation related pain and ache.

A Kinder,
Gentler Chiropractor?
I went to a chiropractor years ago,
and found the neck-cracking movement
uncomfortable and ultimately
ineffective. Now, I’ve heard there
is something called "low-force"
adjustment. What is it, and does it
work?
A Answer (Published 1/29/2010)
Originally published 1/29/2009
There are, in fact, many forms of
chiropractic manipulation. All of
them focus on correcting structural
misalignments in the body to
alleviate problems such as sciatica,
or pain in the low back, neck or
extremities. The method you
experienced is known as "dynamic
thrust"; a forceful movement to
adjust and realign the vertebrae,
often accompanied by a popping or
cracking sound. This technique may
cause discomfort and, rarely,
injury.
But there are also low-force
chiropractic techniques that can
yield positive results. One of these
is the Activator method.
Practitioners trained in this
modality use a low-force, handheld
device incorporating a tension
spring and plunger that produces a
swift pulse of low force at high
speed.
Chiropractic sessions using this
technique are safer and less painful
than those employing dynamic thrust
manipulations because the head is
kept in a neutral position, not
turned or twisted. There is no risk
of injury. It is also quick -
typically, a patient can be assessed
and treated in less than 15 minutes.
As with other chiropractic
techniques, there may be immediate
pain relief, but best results often
come from adjustments over two weeks
or more.
The Activator method has undergone
clinical trials that demonstrate its
efficacy. I have found low-force
treatments like this one to be
reliable and safe, and I recommend
them in my clinical practice. I find
the Activator method particularly
useful for pediatric and geriatric
patients.
