Frequently asked question:

“What was that clicky thing he was pushing on him? He does it at 4:26″

Answer by Dr. Gunter (BackCarePlus)

“This is clearly the most common question I get. That is an adjusting instrument called an Activator. It is spring loaded for rapid delivery of a force to move one vertebra at a time and has some advantages (and disadvantages, too) compared to traditional manual techniques. This treatment sequence shows several distinct methods of correction, and I commonly combine them in the manner shown, although there are times that one single method may be more desirable on a given treatment session.”
