BASIC BACK

Richard SingletonNew Device Will Speed & Ease Treatment Of That Aching Back

By Richard R. Singleton, D.C.
Satisfied clients have testified over and over again that chiropractic adjustments work to heal the body. Now a chiropractic technique has been developed to improve safety and comfort for our chiropractic patients.

Evolved from nearly 40 years of empirical study and 15 years of clinical research, the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) uses the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to seek joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities for improved patient health. AMCT uses the Activator Adjusting Instrument to give consistent low-force, high-speed chiropractic adjustments.  

The Activator Adjusting Instrument is a hand-held device designed to generate reproducible and controlled force, displacement, acceleration and specific line of concentration.

In its many years of evolution, the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique has developed both instrumentation and analysis to produce a clinically safe, non-traumatic, and systematic method of evaluation and treatment of maniputable joint lesions.

To address spinal joint dysfunction, we use an instrument called the Activator. The unique hand-held instrument was scientifically designed to give a very specific, low-force adjustment. The Activator instrument delivers a controlled, light and fast thrust without causing undue strain to patients. Activator adjustments are so quick and controlled, your body’s muscles are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise adjustment. One of the unique features of the Activator Technique is that we can zero in on the exact area of the body that is causing your health problem.

Activator Methods provides practitioners with extensive training through technique seminars around the world that instruct and certify doctors as Basic or Advanced Proficiency Rated AMCT doctors.
