The patient merely has to lie down on the table and perform certain motions with her arms, legs, and head. The beauty behind the Activator Methods analysis system is its simplicity: by closely monitoring your body's reactions to performing certain motions and movements, the chiropractor is able to quickly identify which areas of your body are neurologically compromised. Some of them involve using computers and technology, others require a doctor's touch. There are many ways for a chiropractor to analyze your nerves, muscles, and bones in order to detect points of injury or subluxation.
