What Is Activator Methods® Chiropractic?
Activator Methods® is one of the most researched and widely used instrument-based chiropractic techniques in the world. It uses a handheld adjusting instrument to deliver a gentle, controlled impulse to specific areas of the spine and joints.
Dr. Rob Neposlan has extensive experience with Activator Methods® dating back to his training at Logan University, where he also worked with lower-trimester chiropractic students in Activator-based instruction.
What Is Impulse® Adjusting?
Impulse® and ArthroStim® technology evolved from the same philosophy of precise instrument-assisted care. These modern computerized instruments deliver rapid, gentle impulses designed to help improve joint motion, reduce muscular tension, and support nervous system function.
Many patients find instrument-assisted adjustments extremely comfortable while still experiencing excellent results.
