They claim they can cure say, TMJ issues by using The Activator in a specific spot of the jaw if your jaw isn't sitting right on the fossae for example (related to /u/KorDC 's comment on leg length) - I haven't had this done, because I don't feel the office I was in was specialized enough to perform this and work on it. Now, there are some things that are, well, weird if you read the literature for this tool.

There's also better precision with the Activator when it comes to direction of adjustment/movement. I personally have had the Activator used on me, specifically the trap muscles and certain parts of the spine with great success. The Activator equalizes the force and speed applied to given adjustments. See, humans such at being consistent especially long term. There's a book called The Activator Method that details almost everything about using it properly along with papers and studies on its application. I'm of the opinion it works better/is more ideal for muscles than for adjustments, but there are whole books on utilizing it for adjustment purposes. The purpose of The Activator and The Activator Method are for consistency of applied pressure (force) and amplitude (speed) of that force being applied to a given area.
