Treatment with the Activator Method® in the Kawartha Lakes Region
At Family Chiropractic Solutions & Cliffside Chiropractic Centre in the Kawartha Lakes region, we offer a gentler approach to chiropractic care using the Activator Method®. This low-force technique uses a handheld adjusting instrument to deliver controlled, targeted adjustments without any of the forceful twisting, cracking or popping that’s normally associated with manual adjustments. Contact us today to learn more about this treatment method.

What Is the Activator Method®?
The Activator Method® is an instrument-assisted chiropractic technique that is designed to provide precise, consistent adjustments. The Activator Adjusting Instrument delivers a controlled, high-speed thrust that is considerably faster than a manual adjustment. The technique combines instrument-assisted adjustments with chiropractic examination and research-based analysis.
Why We Use the Activator Method®
Precision and comfort are at the heart of our approach. The Activator Method® allows us to target specific areas while using minimal force, providing an alternative for patients who may be uncomfortable with traditional manual techniques.
Because care can be adapted to the individual, this method can provide an approachable chiropractic experience for patients with different needs, comfort levels, and preferences.


Advanced Proficiency Rated Practitioners
Dr. Mark and Dr. Susan hold Advanced Proficiency Ratings in Activator Methods, reflecting their commitment to advanced education and training in this specialized technique.
