Most people think spinal adjustment started in 1895.

But hands-on spinal care is way older than that.

Over 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates described methods for treating spinal problems using traction, gravity, and manual force. Ancient medicine even used devices like the Hippocratic ladder and bench to apply controlled traction for spinal curvatures. ďżź

To be clear, that wasn’t “chiropractic” as a modern profession.

Chiropractic, as a defined field, is typically dated to 1895, when D.D. Palmer performed what’s often cited as the first chiropractic adjustment in that professional tradition. 

But the bigger point is this:

The principle is ancient.
Restore motion.
Reduce strain.
Help the body function better.

Not a trend. More like a very old idea that kept working.

Not everyone loves the idea of their back being twisted or “popped.”
That’s where the activator comes in.

An activator is a small handheld instrument that delivers a quick, precise impulse to a specific area of the spine. No big movements. No aggressive thrusting. Just targeted correction designed to restore motion and alignment.

Here are three reasons patients love getting adjusted with an activator:

1. It’s Gentle.
The adjustment is controlled and low-force. That makes it a great option for patients who prefer a lighter touch, are sensitive to manual adjustments, or simply want a more comfortable experience.

2. It’s Precise.
The instrument allows the doctor to focus on very specific joints and segments. That level of accuracy helps restore movement exactly where it’s needed.

3. It’s Effective.
Gentle does not mean weak. The quick impulse stimulates the joint and nervous system to help improve function, mobility, and overall spinal health.

At Pelchat Chiropractic Center, care is personalized. Whether manual or instrument-assisted, the goal is always the same: restore movement, reduce discomfort, and support long-term spinal health.

If you’re looking for chiropractic care in the Melbourne and Space Coast area, we’d love to talk. Quality care from a doctor you can trust.

There isn’t a “right age” for chiropractic care.
Dr. Pelchat has adjusted patients just hours after birth.
And he still works on patients well into their 90s.

Because chiropractic isn’t about age.
It’s about function.
Movement.
And keeping the body working the way it was designed to.

Your spine doesn’t stop mattering at a certain birthday.
And it doesn’t start once pain shows up either.

From day one to year ninety-something.
Care that adapts to every stage of life.

Quality care from a doctor you can trust.

Especially after something like a car accident, slip, or sudden impact.

What we call “whiplash” is really a chain reaction. The head snaps, the upper back absorbs force, muscles tighten to protect you, and joints can lose proper motion. Sometimes the pain shows up right away. Sometimes it waits days or even weeks. That delay is what tricks people into thinking they’re fine.

But stiffness, headaches, shoulder tension, brain fog, or limited range of motion usually point to deeper issues in the upper back, neck, and surrounding soft tissue. Treating only where it hurts often misses the real source of the problem.

Chiropractic care focuses on how those areas move together. By restoring proper alignment and motion, reducing inflammation, and calming irritated tissues, the body can actually heal instead of just compensating.

If you’ve been in an accident or had a sudden impact, it’s worth getting checked by a professional. Early evaluation can make recovery smoother and help prevent long-term problems that tend to sneak up later.

Your body remembers trauma even when you try to push through it.
Listening early can save you a lot of pain down the road.

Whiplash isn’t just a sore neck.
It’s your body reacting to trauma.

Car accidents, sudden stops, even minor impacts can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints in ways you don’t always feel right away. Pain, stiffness, headaches, and limited movement often show up days later. That’s why ignoring it is risky.

Chiropractic care helps by restoring proper motion, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body’s natural healing process. More importantly, it helps identify what’s actually going on beneath the surface instead of masking symptoms.

If you’ve been in an accident, getting checked by a professional matters. Early care can mean less pain, better recovery, and fewer long-term issues.

Your body took the hit. Make sure it gets the right care.

We love ranking activities… but here’s the truth.

Swimming, pickleball, squatting, running, even how you sleep.
None of them are “bad” by default.

Pain usually shows up when your body isn’t moving the way it’s supposed to. Mechanics matter more than the activity itself.

So whether your pain started in the gym, on the court, on the trail, or in bed, the goal is the same.
Fix how your body is moving.

If you’re dealing with pain and want real relief, come see us at Pelchat Chiropractic Center.
We’ll help get things moving right again.
