For many people, the thought of chiropractic care brings up an image of twisting, cracking, and popping. While traditional chiropractic adjustments can be effective, they are not the only way to restore balance and improve function. At Bamboo Chiropractic in Townsville, we specialize in gentle techniques like the Activator Method and other forms of low-force chiropractic care.
These approaches provide effective results without the heavy force that some people may be concerned about.

What Is the Activator Method?
The Activator Method is a widely used chiropractic technique that relies on a small, handheld instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument. This device delivers a quick, precise, and low-force adjustment to targeted areas of the spine and joints. Because of its speed and accuracy, the Activator allows chiropractors to adjust without the twisting or cracking associated with manual adjustments.
Who Benefits from Low-Force Chiropractic?
Low-force chiropractic methods are safe and effective for patients of all ages. They are especially helpful for:
Children and babies – Gentle care helps correct alignment issues early on.
Seniors – Low-force adjustments are ideal for those with arthritis, osteoporosis, or fragile joints.
Pregnant women – Comfortable, safe techniques support spinal alignment during pregnancy.
People nervous about chiropractic – Many patients appreciate care without the “cracking” sound.
Those with chronic pain or sensitivity – Low-force adjustments reduce stress on the body.
Key Benefits of Activator and Low-Force Care

Precise – The instrument targets specific joints with incredible accuracy.
Safe for all ages – From infants to seniors, it adapts to the patient’s needs.
