In chiropractic care, two common techniques are the Manual Adjustment and the Activator Method. Manual adjustments involve using hands to apply force to joints, often resulting in a "popping" sound, and are known for immediate relief. The Activator Method, in contrast, uses a precise, handheld instrument for gentler, quieter adjustments, suitable for patients who find manual methods too forceful or intimidating. Both techniques aim to improve spinal function and reduce pain, catering to different patient preferences and needs. At McAndrew Chiropractic, we offer both, ensuring personalized care for optimal spinal health.
