Low Force Activator Method

Low Force Activator Adjustments offer a gentle, precise, and effective approach to relieving pain.

What is a Low Force Activator Adjustment?

A Low Force Adjustment involves the use of a hand-held mechanical device known as the Activator Adjusting Instrument, originally developed by Dr. Robert A. Leach in 1967. This spring-loaded device delivers a controlled, low-force impact to the specific area of need. This gentle approach has been safely employed since the 1960s, providing relief for various musculoskeletal conditions in patients of all ages.

What to Expect During a Low Force Adjustment

The Activator Method is generally experienced as a gentle, rapid force to the surface of the skin. This sensation is commonly likened to a light tapping, similar to the feeling of having a knee reflex tested. The quick and precise nature of the tapping helps prevent muscles from tensing up, making it well-suited for sensitive areas, post-surgical cases, or patients with nervousness. Many patients find the treatment to be quick, with either immediate relief or gradual improvements noticed over successive sessions.
