Activator Method
One of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques, and the only instrument adjusting technique with clinical trials to support its efficacy, according to Activator Methods.
Techniques
More than a dozen techniques, chosen for you
Dr. Rachel Bailey combines careful listening, respect, collaboration, and a thorough consultation focused on your needs with the following techniques and more.
Applied Kinesiology
Uses manual muscle testing to evaluate structural, chemical, and mental aspects of health through the dynamics of the musculoskeletal system. Treatment may involve joint manipulation or mobilization, myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and pressure points, clinical nutrition, dietary changes, reflex procedures, or evaluating environmental irritants.
Extremity adjusting
Evaluation and treatment of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet, to help the body balance and move well.
Myofascial release
Hands-on soft-tissue work that eases tension in muscle and connective tissue to restore comfortable movement.
Nutritional supplementation
Essential nutrients are vital to your health and function. When it helps, your plan can include targeted supplementation.
Nutritional counseling
Your evaluation includes structural, emotional, and chemical stressors, so your plan may include dietary guidance alongside your adjustments.

Additional techniques & therapies
- Diversified Technique
- A system of analysis and a precise means of adjusting the skeletal system of the body.
- Drop Table
- Cushioned drop pieces support each area of the spine. After a slight, quick pressure, the piece gently gives way, reducing the force needed to move a specific segment.
- Flexion-Distraction
- A specialized table gently stretches the patient in certain directions, along the coronal or sagittal planes or in a rotational pattern.
- NET (Neuro Emotional Technique)
- Finds and removes neurological imbalances related to the physiology of unresolved stress. NET is described as a tool that can help improve many behavioral and physical conditions.
- Trigger point therapy
- Reduces pain from hypersensitive muscles. Trigger points, pea-sized knots deep in the muscle, are found by gently pressing on the skin and feeling the texture of the muscle underneath.
- Examination
- Frequent, focused orthopedic and neurological exams measure how well each treatment is working and guide changes to your care as you progress.
- Therapies & muscle activation
- Exercises and other modalities that strengthen weak muscles, re-educate nerve-muscle patterns, and balance the muscles that cross specific joints.
- Meridian tapping
- Gentle tapping on meridian points, often combined with other techniques as part of your plan.
- Client education
- Teaching clients and the community helps you maintain and improve your health at home, at work, and between appointments.
