A relatively newer way of chiropractic adjusting that is very gentle. Dr. Amato is trained in the Activator Technique and is a proficiency rated doctor. Dr. Phil uses this technique, solely, to treat his patients.

The Activator instrument is hand-held and designed to give a very quick, specific, and controlled thrust to various spinal areas.

This method of chiropractic treats spinal imbalance through analysis of your feet and leg length, in conjunction with responses of the spine due to various movements of the body. Using the small, hand-held Activator tool, Dr. Phil methodically adjusts only those joints on your spine related to the specific pain, illness, or other problems causing your health problems.

Simply put — with each movement Dr. Phil asks you to make and each measurement of your leg length, he can determine the specific joint (subluxation) that needs adjusting relative to the specific problem you are experiencing.

The Activator Technique is a quick, safe, and accurate way of restoring spinal balance. Its low-force allows for the least resistance to your muscles enabling your body to maintain the adjustment. Proper spinal balance enhances your body’s own natural healing abilities.
