The Activator Method is one of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques in the world — and one of our most requested. Using a small, handheld spring-loaded instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument, Dr. Krouse delivers a precise, gentle impulse to targeted areas of the spine and extremities. The controlled force is swift enough to move the joint before surrounding muscles can tense and resist, making it especially effective for patients who prefer a low-force alternative to manual adjustments.

This method is ideal for patients of all ages — from children and seniors to those recovering from injury or with sensitivity to traditional manipulation. It addresses everything from chronic neck and back pain to headaches, hip discomfort, and extremity conditions. Treatment is comfortable, quiet, and remarkably effective, with many patients noticing improvement within their first few sessions.
