Activator Method: Gentle Adjustments, Powerful Results

The goal of chiropractic care is to enhance the function of the neuromusculoskeletal system, alleviate pain and inflammation, and assist your body in functioning at its best. Dr. Short employs a precise and scientifically based method of neuromuscular analysis (Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique) to accurately diagnose the issue and assess whether chiropractic care is the most suitable treatment option for you.

The Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique is a gentle, low-force approach to chiropractic care that has been safely utilized for patients of all ages since the late 1960s, providing relief for a variety of health concerns. Many individuals find the Activator method of chiropractic adjustment more comfortable than traditional manual adjustments.

By integrating the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic examinations, this unique system delivers spinal and extremity adjustments based on research-driven analysis and employs the Activator adjusting instrument to restore spinal and extremity balance safely and comfortably.

Due to its effectiveness and gentle nature, the Activator Method has become the world’s most widely used instrument-adjusting technique. Dr. Short is the only certified Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique practitioner in Santa Fe, NM, and has effectively employed this approach in private practice for the past 37 years.

How does the Activator Method Work?

Dr. Short uses specific protocols to detect spinal and extremity joint dysfunction, analyze leg length inequality, identify issues with body mechanics, and test neurological reflexes. By evaluating the results, he can begin the process of restoring proper spine and extremity alignment, thereby addressing the cause of your pain. The unique hand-held Activator instrument has been extensively studied, with results published in hundreds of peer-reviewed research papers, and it was designed to provide patients with a specific and gentle adjustment.

The Activator adjusting instrument delivers a controlled, fast thrust that is comfortable for the patient. Adjustments with the Activator are so quick and measured that the body’s muscles are less likely to resist, allowing for a more precise and accurate adjustment.
