Ever heard that “click”? 👀
That’s the Activator tool, a gentle, handheld device chiropractors use to deliver precise adjustments.

What it does:
✅ Gently moves the targeted joint
✅ Reduces muscle tension
✅ Helps improve nerve communication

💡 The Activator is especially great for:
Patients who prefer low-force adjustments
Kids or seniors
Sensitive areas like the neck or wrists

It’s all about precision and comfort, giving your body the adjustment it needs without extra pressure.

Ever seen this technique and wondered what’s going on? 👀
This is called the towel (or cervical traction) method, a gentle, controlled way to help release tension and restore motion in the neck.

By using a towel for leverage, your chiropractor can:
✅ Stretch and decompress the cervical spine
✅ Relieve pressure on joints and nerves
✅ Improve mobility and alignment without excessive force

It’s a comfortable, precise technique that helps your neck relax, decompress, and move the way it’s meant to. 🌿

Did You Know Chiropractors Work on Hands Too?

Your hands are full of small joints, nerves, and tendons, all of which can get stiff or irritated from everyday tasks like typing, gripping, or scrolling. 💻📱

Chiropractors don’t just focus on the spine, they can also adjust and treat the joints of your hands, wrists, and elbows to help:
✅ Relieve tension and stiffness
✅ Improve grip strength and flexibility
✅ Reduce nerve irritation (like carpal tunnel symptoms)
✅ Support better circulation and function

Just like your spine, the joints in your hands benefit from gentle, precise adjustments that restore motion and balance.

💡 Your hands connect directly to the nervous system through your spine, keeping both aligned means better performance and less discomfort overall!

Ever wonder why you shouldn't crack your neck on your own? Here are 3 reasons why. 🤷‍♂️

You Might Move the Wrong Joints
When you self-crack, you’re not targeting the stiff or restricted joints that actually need attention.
Instead, you’re usually moving the already loose ones, which can make the real problem worse over time.

It Can Create Instability
Frequent, forceful cracking can stretch the surrounding ligaments that support your neck.
Over time, that leads to less stability, more tension, and even more frequent “cracking” urges, a frustrating cycle that doesn’t fix the root issue.

It Doesn’t Correct Misalignment
That quick “pop” only gives short-term relief because it releases gas bubbles from the joint, not because anything is being corrected. True alignment and lasting relief come from precise, controlled adjustments by a trained chiropractor.

Many people see chiropractic adjustments or stretching as separate approaches to pain relief, but when combined, they help your body stay aligned, flexible, and resilient.

Stretching Prepares the Muscles
Tight muscles can restrict joint movement. Gentle stretching before an adjustment helps loosen the soft tissue, allowing your chiropractor to make more effective and comfortable adjustments.

Adjustments Improve Movement Range
When your joints are properly aligned, your body can move the way it was designed to. This means your stretches become more productive and safer because your muscles are no longer compensating for misalignments.

Stretching Maintains the Adjustment
Regular stretching helps reinforce the alignment achieved during chiropractic care, keeping your posture balanced and reducing the likelihood of tension returning.

Here are 3 key things to look for when choosing a chiropractor in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

1. Education & Technique Variety
A great chiropractor should have a strong clinical background and offer different adjustment techniques, from traditional hands-on methods to gentle tools like the Activator.

This shows they can personalize care for your comfort level and condition rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

2. Clear Communication & Education
Look for someone who takes time to explain what they’re doing and why.
Your chiropractor should help you understand your spine health, posture habits, and home-care tips, empowering you to take part in your wellness, not just receive treatment.

3. Whole-Body, Preventive Focus
The best chiropractors don’t just chase pain, they help prevent it.
They consider your lifestyle, stress levels, and movement patterns to support long-term function, not just short-term relief.

Your spine protects your nervous system, the highway of communication between your brain and body. 🧠

When your spine is aligned, your body can function at its best.⚡
That’s why chiropractic care is about more than back pain, it’s about overall health.
