Medical Manipulative Therapy
Drawing on his chiropractic background, Dr. DeLuca uses Medical Manipulative Therapy --a hybrid of the Activator Methods and the Impulse Adjusting System to perform chiropractic manipulations on his patients.
What is the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique?
The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique is a gentle, low-force approach to chiropractic care. The technique has been used safely on patients of all ages since the late 1960s, bringing relief to people with a variety of health concerns. Incorporating the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations, this unique system of administering spinal adjustments using research-based analysis and the Activator Adjusting Instrument can help restore spinal balance safely and comfortably.
How does the Activator Method work?
The Activator Method restores spinal balance safely and successfully, and the technique utilizes specific protocols to detect spinal joint dysfunction, analyze leg length inequality, identify issues with body mechanics and test neurological reflexes. By analyzing results of these examinations, Dr. DeLuca can initiate the process of restoring your spinal balance.
The low-force thrust of the Activator Adjusting Instrument and the doctor’s ability to pin point the exact location of the problem through Activator analysis can relieve a patient’s pain without discomfort.
Though some believe that chiropractic care is intended to only relieve neck and back pain, this form of therapy has more far-reaching benefits. A wide variety of health problems stem from spinal imbalance and dysfunction of the spinal joint and nervous system. Everyday living, stress and old injuries can cause vertebrae to lose their proper position or motion. This dysfunction can irritate your nervous system, causing pain and nerve interference throughout the body. By restoring spinal balance, chiropractic care aids the body in healing itself. And the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique accomplishes this goal through safe, effective and gentle low-force adjustments.

What is the Impulse Adjusting System?
Just as lasers have replaced scalpels in some surgeries, advanced technology has become available to chiropractors to assist in delivering chiropractic adjustments.
This patented and FDA-registered device was specifically created to deliver gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities to relieve pain and restore function. The Impulse Adjusting Instrument® is controlled by micro-computer circuitry housed within the device that produces a controlled force that is used to treat different areas of the body.
Extreme Speed
Impulse® is twice as fast as other adjusting instruments and 100x faster than manual chiropractic adjustments. The gentle thrust is faster than the body’s tendency to tighten up and resist the adjustment.
Controlled Force
The controlled low force thrust of Impulse® makes treatments comfortable.
Frequency Tuned Waveform
Impulse® is specifically tuned to the natural frequency of the body that joints, muscles and nerves respond to, which optimizes results for patients.
