The Activator may be your answer...

The Activator adjusting instrument is a hand held spring-loaded devices that provides a

quick pulse to specific areas of the body. The goal of activator adjustments is the same as manual adjustments: to align the spine and other joints to improve bodily functionality.


If a patient is in a lot of pain, is overly sensitive to touch and tends to tense up during a manual adjustment, then the activator is the best choice.


Why should I choose the Activator over traditional spinal manipulation?

Traditional spinal manipulation is performed with chiropractor’s hands.  During the adjustment, a quick, firm thrust will be used to realign the joint.  While this is perfectly safe, the adjusted area is much larger with a traditional adjustment than with an Activator adjustment.  The Activator delivers a direct and precise adjustment that does not require any twisting or pulling.  Individuals typically find the activator method less physically and mentally stressful because there are not as many pops or cracks associated with the adjustment, and the speed of the device means that the muscles do not have time to tense against the force.


What to expect at your appointment?

We will evaluate your symptoms, perform a physical examination and determine which of your vertebrae or extremity joints need to be adjusted.  The Activator will be placed against your skin in the location where the adjustment is to be performed.  The spring loaded device will deliver a force to the location that will push the vertebrae or joint back into its proper position.  This restores movement and reduces inflammation and pain.

What are the benefits of wearing orthopedic insoles?


  • Orthotics can help to correct imbalances in the feet and ankles, which can lead to improved posture and alignment of the entire body. ...

  • Pain relief. ...

  • Increased stability. ...

  • Improved athletic performance.

Foot pain can limit your life in a lot of ways. Whether you're dealing with bunions, hammertoes, foot deformities, or some other foot or ankle problem, custom orthotic inserts fit into your shoes, providing the support your feet and ankles need to help relieve pain. 


1. Relief from pain


When designing your custom orthotics, we work to cushion and support your feet where you most need it, relieving areas of pressure that can cause both chronic and acute pain. Orthotics can help with problems including:


  • Flat feet or high arches

  • Heel pain and plantar fasciitis

  • Arthritis pain

  • Bunions, hammertoes, corns, and calluses

You might not realize how much your feet and ankles really ache until those pains vanish. Better support can transform your daily life, dramatically reducing your overall degree of body pain.


2. Discreet support


If you have concerns about highly visible or unsightly orthotics, you might be surprised at just how well custom orthotics can be hidden! In most cases, you can use orthotic inserts in athletic or formal shoes. Special orthotics can even be designed for high heels and sandals.


3. Injury prevention


Extra support for your feet and ankles significantly reduces your risk of further foot or ankle injuries, including fractures and sprains. Your orthotics provide a stable surface that completely supports your foot and leg motions, protecting you from strain or over-extension. Ankle braces are the best for preventing sprains and torn ligaments. 


4. More comfort in your workouts


With the right foot support, you can challenge yourself in the gym or at the track without worrying about injuries or chronic foot pain. When you can work out in comfort, you might find it easier to keep your New Year's resolutions! If you have foot deformities, you may need to use orthotics regularly to allow you to walk or run without risk of discomfort or injury.


5. Precise fit


When we prescribe your custom orthotics, we carefully consider your feet and ankles, taking into account what kind of shoes you want to wear and any relevant information from your unique health history. Custom orthotics are designed to fit your foot exactly, and they’re especially useful for more complex foot conditions.
