Included are basic science research in biomechanics, neurophysiology, and clinical research in AMCT analysis reliability, case studies, prospective cohorts, randomized group clinical outcomes, and comparisons to hands-only treatments.

Method: Activator history and associated body of research literature on both the technique and the instrument are critically reviewed. History and development of the technique and its evidence basis and safety issues are discussed. The second is that the applied force is localized and does not add any additional torque or bending movement to the joint.Purpose: A review of the Activator Methods chiropractic technique (AMCT) and Activator adjusting instrument (AAI) is presented. The lack of muscle resistance may facilitate the treatment effectiveness. The instrument is so quick that the body’s muscles are less likely to tense in response, and resist the treatment. The first is based on the speed of the device. There are two advantages of an Activator instrument-assisted treatment. The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique is a type of manipulation is as follows:Ī spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument provides a quick, low-force impulse at specific points. The Activator Method is also commonly used in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
