Activator Method

The Activator Method is a chiropractic technique that uses a handheld instrument called the Activator to deliver a precise, controlled thrust to specific joints, primarily the spine, to restore movement and relieve pain. It's known for being a gentler approach compared to traditional manual manipulations.

Activator Method

The Activator Method is a chiropractic technique that uses a handheld device called the Activator to deliver precise, controlled impulses to specific joints—most commonly in the spine—to help activate the nervous system, restore movement and relieve pain. It is widely recognised as a gentler alternative to traditional manual chiropractic adjustments.

The Activator instrument provides a low-force, targeted impulse, making it an excellent option for patients with sensitive joints or for those who simply prefer a softer approach. Because the technique focuses on individual joints, it allows for highly specific correction and localised pain relief.

Activator Method Application

Research has shown that the Activator Method may be help in reducing pain and improving overall function.

During treatment, a chiropractor performs a thorough examination to determine which joints require adjustment. The Activator instrument is then used to deliver a quick, precise thrust to the affected area. This controlled impulse helps restore proper alignment and joint motion, ultimately activating the nervous system which may help to reduce discomfort and enhancing mobility and better function.

I cannot rate Indygo Chiropractic high enough. The care and attention given by this family run business is exceptional. I always leave feeling both freer in movement and emotionally better. Indy is all about looking after his clients holistically which in this day and age is refreshing and so important. 5 stars isn’t enough!!!

I posted a 5 star review of Indy's excellent treatment some time ago, but have now decided to update it following a new back problem. I began to develop pain in my lower back about 18 months ago and asked about it at a regular maintainence appointment. Indy treated me with his usual care and attention to detail, but because I was not responding well he suggested I visit my GP.

Indy has been looking after me for the past 3 years. The location has lots of parking, easy to get too. Clean and comfortable clinic spaces with pleasant soft music. He keeps all my aches and pains under control which allows me to carry on working as a surgeon. Very professional and caring.

I started seeing Indy in September 2022. I had pain in both knees which was causing me issues with carrying any kind of load, kneeling and running. Sometimes I would even have pain when sitting in a car on long journeys.

Went to see Indy suffering from pain from a broken back a number of months previous and later with tendon pain in my wrist. Indy has been brilliant in diagnosis of the exact nature of my pains, making sure he had a full picture of my health before treating correctly. It wasn’t long before my pains disappeared and I was able to lead my life normally without neck & back pains interfering with it. Highly recommend for his knowledge & skill along with professionalism & attention to detail.
