Case Study Demonstrates Efficacy of Activator Method for Pediatric Care.

A case report on a pediatric patient was recently featured in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2009 (8) 131-136. The report, prepared by Jan Roberts, DC, with Tristy Wolfe, MA, illustrates the benefits of the Activator Method in treating the patient, a six-year-old girl, who had hit her head after being pushed into a playground slide. Complaining that her “neck and brain hurt,” Dr. Roberts administered nine Activator treatments, and after 19 weeks, her spinal stability returned and her neck disability index was zero percent.

Because so little literature exists for pediatric patients, case reports like that from Dr. Roberts and Ms. Wolfe help chiropractors better understand the benefits of the Activator Method. Case studies like this may also prompt more extensive research on pediatric care using the Activator Method, as recom- mended by Dr. Roberts and Ms. Wolfe.
