CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Having the protocol gives me a system that tells me exactly what adjustments a patient needs, and, more importantly, what adjustments a patient does not need. Activator Methods gives me everything I need, from assessments to treatments."
Brittany Kasprack, D.C., M.S.
“Activator appealed to me due to the research, results and ease of use. After practicing for ten years I continue to feel fantastic because of the minimal impact on my body and the tremendous results my patients experience. Recently I dislocated my shoulder playing hockey and did not miss any work since I was able to use the Activator with my healthy arm.”
Dr. Jamal Devita
