Question
I would like to know how to find a chiropractor in my area that uses an "actuator" to do adjustments instead of manual adjustments.
I've had problems with manual adjustment of my neck, and an actuator worked great in the past, but I've moved and don't know how to find a D.C. that uses one.

Hello C,

I think you are referring to the Activator, the small, hand-held clicking device.  If you go to the Activator website, they have a section that offers a search for an Activator doctor.  Here is the link:

Also, you can always call around and ask the secretary if the doctor in the office uses the Activator.

Good Luck!
