The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique is a chiropractic treatment method that uses a device created by Arlan Fuhr as an alternative to manual manipulation of the spine or extremity joints. The device is categorized as a mechanical force manual assisted (MFMA) instrument which is generally regarded as a softer chiropractic treatment technique.[1] The method purports to use the device to identify and remove vertebral subluxations[2] and correct "pelvic deficiency", defined as an "'apparent' difference in leg length, not an anatomical difference".[3] These claims have been criticized.[2][3]
