When a chiropractor frees the nervous system from spinal stress, the healing power of the body is unleashed... "
Chiropractic adjustments involve delivering a quick, controlled thrust or force to a specific joint in the body. The adjustment restores proper positioning and proper motion of the joint. When corrected, your body moves better, feels better, and functions better. Adjustments reduce pain, improve flexibility, and maximize performance.
To understand chiropractic, one must be aware of these basic premises:
The doctors at Isakson Chiropractic are trained to utilize a very specific adjusting technique called the Activator Method. This method uses a small instrument to deliver the adjustment and make the necessary corrections. What sets the Activator Method apart from others?
Comfort. The Activator is gentle yet effective. The instrument delivers a thrust that is approximately 100 times faster than a human being can replicate. In addition, it features small tip at the end where it contacts the body. Together, this produces a force that is extremely fast and concentrated. There is no need for brute force to make the correction.
Safety. No twisting of the neck or back; no cracking of bones. The patient lies in a comfortable, neutral position while the adjustment is made. With various force settings, the Activator can be used to treat newborn babies, football players, older adults, and everyone in between.
Precision. The small tip of the Activator allows the doctor to align a specific part of a specific bone in a specific direction. It adjusts only what needs to be adjusted and nothing more. This degree of accuracy is very difficult or impossible to replicate with the old-fashioned manual style of adjustment.
Versatility. The Activator instrument is designed to access areas of the body that a human hand cannot. It can be placed in almost any location, position, or angle; whatever is necessary to make the proper correction.
To understand chiropractic, one must be aware of these basic premises:
- The brain and spinal cord are the master controllers of the body, directing every movement and function - both conscious and unconscious.
- The brain must communicate with the rest of the body via the nervous system.
- Misalignments (subluxations) of the spine and vertebrae can impair the function of the nervous system, hindering the internal communication system of the body.
- Chiropractors locate and correct subluxations, thereby restoring optimal communication and function in the body.
