The Activator Technique works well for all ages. It is ideal for young children because it is quick and easy, and it provides the elderly with a gentle and effective care approach which is necessary due to degeneration, arthritis and osteoporosis.
How Does the Activator Adjusting Instrument Work?
The Activator Technique uses a hand-held instrument that is scientifically designed to give you a very specific "low force" adjustment.
The Activator instrument delivers a controlled, light and fast thrust, without causing undue strain on patients.
Activator adjustments are so quick and controlled that the patient's muscles are less likely to resist which allows for a more precise and exact adjustment.
Dr. Masse is the only chiropractor in Essex County that has the highest Activator Methods proficiency possible, and has maintained the advanced proficiency rating for over 25 years.
Computerized Spinal Examination
Computerized Spinal Examination is used to evaluate the spine for electrical activity associated with spinal misalignments. A chiropractor's job is to detect and correct these misalignments that can create nerve interference and can result in a variety of adverse symptoms and poor health. The examination is totally non-invasive and does not cause pain or irritation making the testing safe for everyone, including children, pregnant women and seniors. The examination takes just a few minutes. It provides quantitative and qualitative data to assist Dr. Masse in determining which areas of the nervous system are being adversely affected by spinal misalignments. Dr. Masse is committed to combining state of the art technology with modern chiropractic care.
