A quick description of Chiropractic, Activator adjusting

Chiropractic is the drugless, nonsurgical way of helping the body to not only relieve neck and back pain, as are the popular notions of this time, but also to open the neural pathways to all the organs and glands of the body and allow the natural innate healing energy of the brain to flow unimpeded, thereby promoting true natural health.

The Activator adjusting technique is a way of moving the misaligned and fixated spinal and other bones of the body that are impinging upon nerves leading to lack of normal function, and causing dis-ease. The Activator instrument restores the bone to its normal position quickly and painlessly because of its speed, accuracy, and light touch. Removing this nerve interference allows the innate healing energy of the body to flow to the organs and glands allowing the body to function normally at optimal levels, and alleviating the symptoms of pain from inflammation, which the body produces to ask for help.

At Natural Health, Dr. Mark uses the activator adjusting technique primarily to help restore normal nerve function without aggravating adjacent tissues, but is well-trained in other forms of adjusting and can use those as the body will allow. The idea is to not require x-rays to adjust a patient as x-rays are expensive and the radiation is cumulative and carcinogenic. If x-rays are needed for whatever purpose, or policy is to refer that patient to their MD so that both professions can use the same set of films or MRI, and insurance coverage works well.
