The Activator Method at Surfside Chiropractic

Here at Surfside Chiropractic, our chiropractors, Dr. Larry E. Simon and Dr. Steven Garlinger, offer the Activator Method, which can be more comfortable than a traditional manual adjustment because it targets the specific area to be adjusted. Read on to learn more about how The Activator Method can help you feel pain-free today.

Treatment with Our Surfside Beach Chiropractors

The Activator Method offers many benefits for individuals with back and neck pain. The first benefit is the device is precise. When the instrument adjusting device is placed against the area to be treated by our Surfside chiropractor and activated, it only adjusts that area, and it does this without any unwanted twisting or torqueing of the joint.

The second benefit is speed. The adjusting instrument, once triggered, operates very quickly. This means that your muscles do not have time to react to the force being applied. Less muscle resistance means that your adjustment will be more effective and more comfortable.

What to Expect at Your Visit to Surfside Chiropractic

Chiropractic care in Surfside Beach, SC includes instrument adjusting! An instrument adjuster is a hand-held device with a metal arm and rubber tip. During your appointment, our chiropractor will evaluate your spine to determine if you have any misalignments in your vertebrae. This could also include a leg length test, which is simply where our chiropractor evaluates your legs to determine if one appears shorter than the other. It is believed that differences in apparent leg length indicate misalignments in the vertebrae.

Once the misalignments are found, the instrument adjusting device will be placed against the area to be adjusted and activated. This triggers the arm, which then performs a pulsing adjustment that will maximize the range of motion of the joint. The adjustment itself is fast and effective, and it has been proven safe to use on individuals of all ages, including infants and the elderly.
