Low Force Chiropractic in Clairemont

Gentle, Precise Care with Activator and SOT Techniques

Not every patient is a good fit for traditional chiropractic adjustments — and that’s okay. At The Bridge Chiropractic in Clairemont, we offer low force chiropractic techniques that provide effective results without the twists, cracks, or pops.
 

Whether you’re seeking relief from low back pain, recovering from an injury, or simply prefer a more comfortable approach, gentle chiropractic methods like Activator® and SOT® blocking offer a safe, targeted alternative.

Low Force Activator Chiropractic Adjustment.HEIC

What Is Low Force Chiropractic?

Low force chiropractic refers to adjustment techniques that use minimal physical pressure to realign joints and restore nervous system function. These methods are especially beneficial for:

  • Patients with sciatica or nerve irritation

  • Seniors or individuals with osteoporosis

  • Pregnant patients

  • Children and teens

  • Anyone who prefers a more subtle, gentle approach
     

Activator Method Chiropractic Technique

The Activator is a small handheld instrument used to deliver a precise, quick impulse to the spine or joints. It allows for highly specific adjustments without the need for twisting or manual manipulation.

Benefits of the Activator include:

  • Gentle and pain-free

  • Ideal for sensitive or inflamed areas

  • Backed by clinical research

  • Well tolerated across all age groups
     

SOT Blocking (Sacro Occipital Technique)

SOT blocking involves placing padded blocks under the pelvis to support gentle realignment of the spine and nervous system. The body’s own weight and breathing patterns help correct imbalances naturally — with no forceful thrusts.

SOT is often used to help address:

  • Pelvic imbalance

  • Tension in the cranial system

  • Chronic low back pain or hip discomfort
