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'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.
Rena B.Cumming, GeorgiaDr. 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!!!!
Johnny N.Cumming, GeorgiaDr. Seaney is the best! It is obvious that he cares for his patients very much and wants what is best for them. I would highly recommended this practice!!
Sue S.Cumming, 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.
Randy M.Cumming, GeorgiaI have used many Chiropractors over the years, I can't remember finding a more knowledgeable doctor in this field than Dr. Shawn Seaney. Dr. Seaney evaluated me and was able to give me a lot of pain relief on my first visit. A lot of Chiropactors will ask you to keep coming back over and over, that's not the case with Dr. Shawn, he sets a schedule up with you and follows it through; being a retired man I can appreciate this. I would recommend this man and his staff to anyone.Sincerely Robert Preston
