The Activator Method: Gentle, Targeted Chiropractic Care

At Rebound Integrative Sports and Health Clinics, we offer the Activator Method — a low-force chiropractic technique designed to support joint function, treat movement restrictions, and help with spinal alignment without manual manipulation.

Using a hand-held instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument, this technique delivers quick, controlled impulses to specific points along the spine and joints. It’s a gentle, precise approach that’s well-suited for individuals of all ages, including those who prefer a softer alternative to traditional adjustments.

Many clients turn to the Activator Method to help with everyday tension, joint stiffness, neck and back discomfort, or postural imbalances. It may also be used to treat discomfort in the shoulders, hips, knees, and other extremities—especially when movement feels limited or tight.

Each session begins with a musculoskeletal assessment, where your provider evaluates spinal movement, joint alignment, and areas of tension. Based on your needs, the Activator tool is applied to targeted areas using quick, low-force impulses that are customized to support your comfort and mobility goals.

Whether you’re managing daily physical stress, seeking better mobility, or maintaining an active lifestyle, the Activator Method may be a valuable part of your care plan. At Rebound Clinics DMV, it’s often integrated with other therapies as part of a holistic, movement-based approach to care.
