The Activator Adjusting Instrument (AAI)
Widely considered as the safest chiropractic technique in the profession today, the AAI delivers a specific, controlled, mechanically assisted force to perform the chiropractic adjustment for the correction of the spinal subluxation.
Since the late 1960s, the development of this technique and its unique hand-held adjusting instrument was geared toward improvement of the comfort and safety of chiropractic patients. The instrument provides a low-force yet fast adjustment, without causing excessive strain to the patient. Activator adjustments are so quick and controlled that your body’s muscles are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise correction.
This technique utilizes specific procedures to detect spinal joint dysfunction, analyze leg length inequality, detect body mechanic problems and test neurological reflexes. This chiropractic method is one of the most scientifically researched techniques in Chiropractic today. Its proficiency rated practitioners are specialists in its use, undergoing extensive, ongoing training in the application of the Activator Methods.
This technique can be used for all ages of patients, from children to the elderly, especially in conditions where a more gentle force is favored due to arthritis, osteoporosis or other bone and joint degeneration.
