Activator Low-Force Adjustments

Not everyone wants, or feels comfortable with, a traditional hands-on adjustment. Activator adjusting uses a small handheld instrument to deliver a quick, gentle, low-force impulse to a specific joint, with no twisting or pulling.
At Good Neighbor Chiropractic of WNY in Clarence, Dr. Julie Gross, DC, MSACN will talk with you about whether a low-force approach is a good fit for your body and your comfort level.

Who Low-Force Care May Help

  • Anyone who prefers a gentler approach

  • People who feel nervous about manual adjustments

  • Patients who are very sore or sensitive

  • Older adults who want a lighter touch

  • People with a small or specific area of concern

  • Anyone who wants a comfortable, relaxed visit

What to Expect

Your first visit starts with a conversation and an exam before any adjustment. A visit may include:

  • A review of your health history and goals

  • An exam to find the joints that are not moving well

  • A clear explanation of what we find

  • Quick, gentle taps with a small handheld instrument

  • A plan for next steps and guidance to follow at home

You are always in control. If you have questions or concerns, we will talk them through before we begin.

How Activator Fits Into Your Care

Low-force adjusting can stand on its own or be combined with other parts of your care plan, such as:

  • Soft-tissue work to calm tight, overworked muscles

  • Movement and posture guidance

  • Nutrition support when it makes sense for you

  • Follow-up visits to track how you are responding

  • A personalized care plan based on your symptoms and goals

Every person is different, so we will talk through which approach makes the most sense for you.
