Gentle, Effective Adjusting with Precision and Comfort
At Bountyland Chiropractic, Dr. Paul R. Johnson and Dr. Darrel Asuncion use the Activator Method, a gentle, instrument-assisted technique designed to restore proper motion to the spine and joints. Using the handheld Activator Adjusting Instrument, we deliver safe, consistent, and precise adjustments that help relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote long-term wellness without twisting, popping, or cracking.
What Is the Activator Method?
The Activator Method is one of the most widely researched and utilized low-force chiropractic techniques in the world. It combines advanced analysis with a specialized hand-held tool called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. This spring-loaded, mechanical device delivers a controlled and high-speed impulse to targeted joints, helping to gently move them into proper alignment.
Because of its speed and precision, the Activator minimizes muscle resistance and allows for a comfortable and accurate adjustment – ideal for patients who prefer a softer approach to chiropractic care.
Why We Use the Activator Tool at Bountyland Chiropractic
At Bountyland Chiropractic, we value both comfort and results. The Activator Method allows our doctors to pinpoint areas of misalignment or restricted motion and make gentle, precise corrections with minimal force.
Benefits of the Activator Tool include:
Gentle and comfortable adjustments
Consistent, computer-calibrated force
Improved motion and flexibility
Reduced inflammation and joint irritation
Safe for patients of all ages — from seniors to children
This technique is especially useful for patients who are anxious about manual adjustments, recovering from injury, or dealing with conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis where a lighter touch is beneficial.
How the Activator Method Works
The Activator Method is based on a series of neurological and mechanical assessments that help the doctor identify which joints need attention.
Analysis – We begin with a precise assessment of your spine, muscle tone, and leg-length alignment to identify imbalance or restricted areas.
Adjustment – The Activator tool delivers a rapid, gentle impulse to the specific vertebra or joint. Because it moves faster than the body’s natural reflexes, muscles don’t tighten, allowing for a smoother, more effective correction.
Reassessment – The doctor rechecks alignment and motion to ensure proper correction and measure improvement.
Over time, these adjustments help restore normal nerve communication, reduce pain, and improve overall function.
Conditions Commonly Treated with the Activator Method
The Activator Technique can be used throughout the spine and extremities to relieve pain and enhance function. It’s commonly used to address:
Neck and back pain
Headaches and migraines
Shoulder and elbow pain
Hip, knee, and ankle discomfort
Jaw tension (TMJ disorders)
Postural imbalances and stiffness
Sciatica and nerve-related pain
Patients often report not only pain relief but also improved movement, balance, and energy after care.
Is the Activator Method Right for You?
The Activator Method is safe and effective for nearly everyone, from athletes and active adults to seniors and children. If you prefer a gentle, precise adjustment without twisting or cracking, or if you’ve had limited results with traditional chiropractic methods, this approach could be the perfect fit.
Dr. Johnson and Dr. Asuncion will perform a full evaluation to determine whether the Activator Method is appropriate for your specific condition and goals.
