Receive an Adjustment with an Activator Instrument
When you live with chronic back and joint pain, it can seem like every day is a chore. Pain medication can only go so far, and most chronic pain issues are hard to fix with traditional Western medicine. There is hope, however. You can receive a spinal adjustment that will restore the full function of your nervous system and allow you to function without the pain that you’ve lived with for so long. Many people who go to see a chiropractor for the first time are nervous, especially if they don’t know much about the practice. Don’t worry. Chiropractic medicine is a proven method of restoring health and relieving pain in the spine and joints, and many people experience a feeling of well being that they can’t find with any other remedy.
One of the instruments you will see at the chiropractic office is the activator instrument. This spring-loaded tool has a small rubber tip, and is used for patients who can’t tolerate a manual adjustment. It looks a little odd, and can be a little frightening if you don’t know what it does. You should never be afraid of the activator instrument. In fact, it is designed to make those who are most sensitive to adjustment more comfortable. It delivers a gentle thrust that helps your chiropractor to adjust your spine to a healthy position. (more…)
