Created by Dr. Arlan Fuhr, the activator methods technique is one of the most common therapeutic methods chiropractors use to treat various complaints related to the spine and joints.
This technique utilizes a small handheld spring-loaded instrument called an activator to apply low-force adjustments to targeted areas.
It is a pain-free and effective treatment for people of all age groups, including children and seniors.
The activator methods technique is commonly used to address a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, like:
Our chiropractor will evaluate your symptoms to identify the underlying cause of your pain. Then, you will be asked to lie face down on the adjustment table. During the activator instrument adjustment, the chiropractor places the device against the targeted area of the spine or joint. When activated, the instrument delivers a quick and controlled thrust.
The treatment usually begins with the lower back and then moves to other areas, such as the head, focusing on each vertebral segment. The activator methods technique may help reduce joint inflammation and stiffness to strengthen your muscles and maintain overall spinal health.

I love coming to Canning Chiropractic! Everyone is helpful, kind, patient, and friendly. Their scheduling is flexible and accommodating. The practice runs very smoothly and efficiently; I rarely have to sit in the waiting room but am usually directed right to a room upon arrival. But Dr. Chris always takes his time when adjusting me and I never feel rushed or dismissed. He is very knowledgeable and I have seen dramatic improvement in my health. I have a lot of health issues. When I first started I had limited mobility; my husband had to drive me and I needed a walker to get in the office. Now, I'm driving myself and walk in unassisted. He is honest about treatment; very optimistic but still realistic. The method he uses is more gentle than traditional chiropractic, but for me, much *MUCH* more effective. He helped me get to a point in my health that I can actually be mobile while I unravel the other health issues I'm dealing with. I can't say enough good things about this practice. They have the perfect recipe and our entire family has benefitted.
Tina B.Lawrenceville, GeorgiaI have been seeking Chiropractic care off and on for the past 25+ years. In all that time Dr. Canning and his team have been the most encouraging, educating, and flexible group I have ever worked with. Their combination of modern technology with genuine human compassion have made every visit a joy. Dr. Canning is very well versed in a variety of Chiropractic techniques and takes the time to discuss and assess which of these is right for your specific care. And while his commitment to the overall Chiropractic method is clearly evident, he does not engage in an evangelistic salesmanship in an effort to bully his patients into submission. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone who is looking to begin OR continue their Chiropractic treatments.
Gary B.Lawrenceville, GeorgiaI've been seeing Dr. Chris for going on 2 years this year and have not a single bad thing to say about any part of his practice. Since day one I felt confident in his capabilities and was delighted to experience what wonderful people he, his family, and his team are. I was a chiropractic skeptic before choosing Canning, but I have experienced SIGNIFICANT improvement in my back pain as well as have completely healed my annoying jaw click with his help. I look forward to every appointment and have even continued my care with him after moving an hour away from the area almost a year ago. Could not imagine seeing anyone else for my needs!
Stasia T.Lawrenceville, GeorgiaDoctor Canning is the best chiropractor there is!!! He is always very attentive and listens to every detail of my situation. There has never been a time in these years that he has not been able to make me feel better!!! He and his staff are always kind and caring!!
Debbie F.Lawrenceville, GeorgiaAbsolutely love Dr. Chis and his staff. I would never go anywhere else. I've been to other Chiropractors, but never had any good results, until I started using Canning Chiropractic. It's amazing how much better I feel and I'm actually pain free now. I never thought a Chiropractor could make such a difference in my life...until I found the right one!! The BEST part is NO medicine/drugs necessary as opposed to going to an MD for help. Thank you Dr. Chris and staff for all you do and for making me feel like part of the family!!
