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.

Dr. Seaney took me in on an emergency situation. He actually met me at the door and held it open while I hobbled in on crutches. After listening to me attentively he preformed an adjustment which releaved my pain 80%, and I was able to walk out without crutches and stand up straight. We made another appointment for a few days later, and at this appointment I shared with him that I had lost the ability to raise my toes off the floor when standing. Hearing this, he showed great concern and immediately, before the second treatment for pain, ordered an MRI. I learned that Dr. Seaney studied under my former chiropractor (now retired), and has the greatest of credintials. It helps to know that you're trusting your health, nervous system and body to someone who actually cares about his clients!!!! *
JNCumming, GeorgiaI've been going to Forsyth Spinal Rehab for over 2 months, after my car was totaled. I'm already feeling so much better. They are professional and courteous and know how to fix the back. I'd give 6 stars if I could. I have 4 bulging discs that have caused major pain and disability. I highly recommend them. *
RBCumming, GeorgiaI have been seeing Dr. Seaney for a couple of weeks now. He is a wonderful chiropractor. He has been working so hard to solve my issue and my pain has gone from a 9 to a 3. He is truly knowledgeable in what he does and makes sure you understand what is happening as well. You will be pleased too. *
RMCumming, GeorgiaDr Seaney is amazing! He has helped my husband and I so much.! My husband had back surgery last year and he started having numbness and pain again. He has helped so much more then even the surgery did. I wish we had gone to him in the first place before making the decision to have the surgery. He has helped with my neck pain and back pain after a bad fall that I had. If you are looking for relief when it comes to back or neck pain, he is the doctor to see first. He also has a fantastic bedside manor and truly cares about his patients! *
