Gentle Chiropractic Care at Happy Family Chiropractic: Activator Tool, Arthrostim, and Pelvic Blocks

At Happy Family Chiropractic, we know that comfort and care are essential, especially during pregnancy or for those who prefer gentle techniques. Our practice offers gentle chiropractic methods tailored to each individual. In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of using the Activator Tool, Arthrostim, and pelvic blocks for pelvic alignment, focusing on their advantages for pregnant women and patients who prefer not to experience traditional spinal adjustments or "cracking."

The Activator Tool: Precision and Comfort

The Activator Tool is a handheld device that delivers a controlled, low-force thrust to specific areas of the spine and other joints. This method offers several key benefits:

• Gentle and Non-Invasive: The Activator Tool provides a precise adjustment without the need for manual twisting or cracking. This makes it an excellent choice for those who are nervous about traditional chiropractic techniques.
• Targeted Adjustments: The Activator Tool allows for accurate adjustments, targeting specific vertebrae or joints. This ensures effective realignment and relief from pain and discomfort.
• Suitable for All Ages: The Activator Tool is safe and effective for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors.

Arthrostim: Versatile and Effective

The Arthrostim is another instrument-assisted chiropractic technique that uses a rapid tapping motion to deliver adjustments. This tool offers unique advantages:

• Comfortable and Painless: The rapid but gentle tapping motion of the Arthrostim is comfortable and does not cause the discomfort that some patients associate with manual adjustments.
• Versatile Applications: The Arthrostim can be used on various body areas, including the spine, extremities, and even the cranial area. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for addressing various musculoskeletal issues.
• Adjustable Intensity: The force and speed of the Arthrostim can be adjusted to suit each patient, ensuring a customized and comfortable experience.

Pelvic Blocks for Alignment: A Holistic Approach

Pelvic blocks are foam wedges used to support and realign the pelvis and lower back. This method is particularly beneficial for pregnant women and those who seek a gentle approach:

• Safe for Pregnancy: Pelvic blocks provide a non-invasive and gentle method for aligning the pelvis, which is crucial during pregnancy. Proper pelvic alignment can help reduce back pain, improve posture, and support a healthier pregnancy.
• Non-Invasive and Relaxing: Patients lie on their backs or sides while the blocks are placed under the pelvis. This passive method encourages the body to realign itself naturally, promoting relaxation and comfort.
• Effective for Pelvic and Lower Back Pain: By supporting the pelvis in a balanced position, pelvic blocks help reduce tension and pain in the lower back and hips, providing significant relief.
