The Activator Technique, available at NW Chiropractic and Massage in NW Calgary, is a specific chiropractic treatment method that utilizes a handheld instrument called the Activator. This instrument allows the Chiropractor to deliver a quick, low-force thrust to specific spinal areas.

The Activator Technique is different from the Graston Technique. While both are chiropractic adjustment methods, Activator focuses on improving joint function in the spine with a low-force instrument. Graston (a form of IASTM) takes a broader approach using instruments to address soft tissue dysfunction throughout the body.

While both techniques can be used to address pain and improve function, they target different aspects and may be suitable for different conditions. NW Chiropractic and Massage in NW Calgary offers both the Activator Technique and Graston Technique to provide a comprehensive approach to pain management and optimal health.
