Abstract
This study was performed to assess the efficacy of Activator for the patient with chronic neck pain. Mail, 26 years old, is treated with Activator, which was applied for 15 minutes every two days during the 4 weeks. The results of this study are as follows:
1. ´[´he treated case compared with the previous case showed that R.O.M particularly increased in flexion and extension.
2. The atlas/skull angle compared with the previous case showed that the angle increased from 0.8° to 1.5´. In the atlas/skull, normal angle is 5.6´.
3. The angle of cervical curve lordosis compared with the previous case showed that the angle increased from 38.3° to 48.1´. In the healthy spine, the angle is 42.00 .
4. The anterior curvature compared with the previous case showed that curve radii decreased from 7,220mm to 200mm. In the spine. normal curvature is 165mm.
5. Ruth Jackson´ s angle compared with the previous case showed that the angle increased from 14.8° to 29. i ° . In the healthy spine, normal angle is 39.9° .
We can not find significant level for Activator, but it is considered that activator method of chiropractic technique is effective.
