1. What is Activator Chiropractic Care?
Activator Chiropractic Care is a gentle, low-force chiropractic technique that uses a handheld instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. This method is designed to restore spinal balance and joint function without the popping or cracking associated with traditional manual adjustments.
2. How does the Activator Method work?
The chiropractor uses the Activator tool to deliver a controlled, fast, and precise impulse to specific areas of the spine or joints. This helps realign vertebrae, reduce nerve irritation, and promote natural healing.
3. Is the Activator Method safe?
Yes! The Activator Method is considered one of the safest chiropractic techniques. It’s especially well-suited for children, seniors, and patients with conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis due to its gentle approach.

4. What does an adjustment feel like?
Most patients describe the sensation as a light tap. There’s no twisting or sudden movements, and many people find the experience comfortable and relaxing.
5. Are X-rays required?
Not always. X-rays are only recommended when clinically necessary to better understand your spinal condition and ensure safe and effective treatment.
6. How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, overall health, and how your body responds to treatment. Your chiropractor will create a personalized care plan based on your needs.
7. Is it covered by insurance?
We accept Medicare rates for adjustments. Initial exams are not covered under any insurance. We are not contracted with any other insurance company including Medi-Cal, Anthem, Blue Cross, United, or TriCare. We will bill them as an out-of-network provider at your request. Please review your out-of-network chiropractic benefits and deductibles if you would like us to bill insurance. Insurance is likely to cover less or not pay at all depending on your benefits.

8. What should I expect during my first visit?
On your first visit, the chiropractor will perform a detailed consultation and examination. This may include posture analysis, reflex testing, and mobility assessments. If the Activator Method is appropriate for you, treatment can often begin that same day.
