Activator Technique in Fulton
If you’ve wanted to get chiropractic care but don’t like the thought of getting adjusted manually, we offer the gentle and effective Activator Technique, a handheld spring-loaded device that adjusts the spine without much force. This safe, effective, reliable, and reproducible method gives consistent care. It’s how Dr. Nicholson gets adjusted and how he adjusts his wife and their children.
The other reason I choose to offer this technique is the research tells me that it’s a great method to use.”

Appropriate for All Ages
The Activator Method has been used for over 30 years, relieving patients from acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This technique is great for all ages and for all conditions. With this method, we substitute speed for force.
5 Main Benefits
- Gentle on joints and the spine. That makes it particularly useful for patients with arthritis or osteoporosis.
- Precise. The Activator can precisely target an area to restore mobility and decrease stiffness and inflammation.
- Painless. It’s appropriate for use on older patients and children. If you’re nervous about “cracking,” don’t be; there are no popping sounds to be heard in this type of adjustment.
- Promotes joint stability over time. The speed of this instrument addresses joints without initiating muscle tensing, which can promote stability in joints and ligaments.
- Effective for specific conditions. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, and TMJ are some of the conditions that respond well to this method.
What Does It Feel Like?
If you’ve never been adjusted with the Activator tool, you may be unsure of what to expect. Dr. Nicholson can demonstrate this by applying it to your finger. He’ll also explain what we’re doing and why it’s safe and beneficial.
