Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments
You’ve probably heard that adjustments can help relieve a great deal of pain and symptoms completely naturally, and you may even be interested in trying them. However, the idea of forceful thrusts and twisting motions might make you uncomfortable. Or, if you’re in pain, you might be concerned that you can’t tolerate them.
The good news is that if either of these thoughts is true for you, there is a different method. Dr. Hoover at Activate Your Health Chiropractic and Wellness of Littleton, CO, explains what gentle adjustments are, how they work, and how they allow you to take advantage of the healing power of chiropractic care without any discomfort.
What Are Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments?
In short, gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment just like traditional adjustments do. However, they do not involve manual force or twisting.
The Activator Method that we offer is a technique in which a small, handheld instrument delivers the adjustment. Our chiropractor feels for the troubled area and then places the instrument there. The instrument then delivers a very gentle amount of force to the target area, which shifts the vertebra back into its proper place.
Is It as Effective as Traditional, Manual Adjustments?
In one word, yes. To be more specific, it can be more effective, in many cases. While manual adjustments tend to encompass a larger, more general area, the Activator Method allows for precise targeting of the misaligned joint.
Additionally, it delivers a rapid thrust that the body doesn’t have time to prepare for. This is important because when you know the thrust is coming – like with traditional adjustments – your body will naturally tense up. This tension can impact the effectiveness of the adjustment. With the Activator Method, you are more likely to receive more comprehensive relief.
Another factor to consider in its efficiency and other benefits is how many groups of people can receive it. Due to its gentleness, it can be used on children, people who are in pain and are uncomfortable moving, and seniors. This allows more people to achieve spinal health and wellness.
