A chiropractor may use an activator in treatment to provide a gentle and controlled alternative to manual manipulations, making it suitable for patients who prefer a less forceful approach or have specific conditions or limitations or infants and prenatal chiropractic patients. The activator allows for targeted and precise adjustments, aiding in the restoration of joint mobility and alignment. Activator chiropractic care can be particularly beneficial for patients with acute pain, sensitivity, or localized issues, as the activator delivers controlled impulses to address specific areas without excessive discomfort.

Torticollis can affect your baby’s ability to breastfeed successfully on both breasts due limited range of motion in the neck and inability to fully open their jaw for a sufficient latch. Chiropractors who are trained in Infant Chiropractic, like our Dr. David Blair DC, can treat your baby’s neck and jaw muscles using special muscle techniques for infants and release the tension to allow your baby to feed easier.
