Adjustive Techniques...

Dr. Ray uses two primary adjustive methods; Palmer Method and Activator. 

Palmer Method is what most people associate with chiropractic.  As described earlier, the doctor will use patient positioning and a manual thrust delivered at a specific joint level, in the right direction and with the appropriate amount of force. There is often an accompanying “pop” heard at the time of the adjustment. 

Activator is an extremely safe low force chiropractic technique that uses an instrument to effect the necessary adjustment.  Patients are neither turned nor twisted, and the instrument uses greater speed but less movement to impart its effect on the muscles and joints.  There is no “pop” heard at the time of the adjustment. 

Dr. Ray is an Advanced Proficiency rated doctor through Activator Methods International.  Activator doctors are often sought after for cases where low force adjusting is preferred.  Examples of this are for the elderly, infants, women who are pregnant or patients that prefer not to be adjusted manually.   For more information on Activator go to www.activator.com.
