About
Ascent Functional Wellness is one of only a few offices in the Pittsburgh region to specialize in the Activator Methods Technique. A spring-loaded, hand-held instrument called an Activator is used by the chiropractors to deliver gentle adjustments. Specific motions performed by the patient help to identify the bones, joints, or muscles that needs to be adjusted and in which direction. There's no guessing when it comes to your health in our office. This specific technique is extremely popular because there is no twisting, thrusting, or popping to make the adjustment. It causes less stress for the body to process, allowing patients to get better faster. The doctors love this technique, because they’re able to assess any joint in the body, including cranial bones, TMJ, extremities, sinuses, etc.
