Activator Method
Chiropractic Technique

At Thrive, we use the Activator Method to deliver gentle, precise spinal adjustments without the traditional cracking or twisting. This low-force technique is perfect for all ages, helping your body heal and function optimally in a comfortable, safe way.

Gentle Technique
for Patients of
All Ages

By using an analysis of your leg lengths, we can determine the areas in your body that need to be adjusted. In addition to the spine there are other areas and joints that may be adjusted including feet, knees, elbows, shoulders, and even your jaw.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the The Activator Technique different from manual chiropractic?

Many patients have told me they are scared of having someone “crack their spine” (as they like to say.) Even though manual chiropractic adjustments are very safe and effective, people are happy to know there is an alternative.

 It is even safe for people who have osteoporosis and may not be able to tolerate a manual adjustment.

What conditions can The Activator Technique provide relief for?

Chiropractic adjustments are helpful for many conditions in addition to spinal pain, including sciatica, headaches, shoulder pain, disc problems, vertigo, ear infections and carpal tunnel.

When combined with the correct nutritional program, chiropractic works even better and faster. Ask us if adjustments would benefit you.

What is the Testing ProcedureLike?

The actual procedure is simple and direct with the body providing all of the information and feedback needed.We use your body’s reflexes to determine if you are having trouble with toxins, food allergies, scars and other potential culprits that could be negatively affecting your health.

We assess your organ systems for deficiencies, and use all this information to design a personal Thrive Wellness health program that is right for you.

When I started at Thrive, I was exhausted all the time, had terrible anxiety and depression and a few other issues. After 6 months, I am happy to say that I feel better now than I have in a long time. Dr. Shannon is very knowledgeable and very helpful. She really cares about her patients.
