Dr. Andrew Weil Issues Position on Low-Force Chiropractic Techniques

Dr. Andrew Weil, the internationally acclaimed physician who has strong ties with the University of Arizona, recently issued a positionpaper on his views regarding low-force chiropractic techniques. He specifically discusses the research-supported Activator Method Chiropractic Technique® as an effective approach for administering chiropractic care.

In his paper, Dr. Weil opines that chiropractic sessions using the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique are “safer than the traditional high force manipulations because the head is kept in a neutral position; there is no turning or twisting while the adjustment is being given.” He further indicates that the research conducted on behalf of the Activator Method “lends itself to referrals” by other healthcare providers, and that he, too, recommends low-force chiropractic techniques like the Activator Method in his practice when indicated.
