Neuroarticular Dysfunction or a Chiropractic Subluxation
I use a specialized chiropractic method called Activator and I am a serious Activator chiropractic doctor . Integral to Activator methods is an objective examination to locate the neuroarticular dysfunction (often called a subluxation) that can cause pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, loss of normal movement or even changes in your overall health. That is why I sought, got and maintain an advanced proficiency rating in the technique. The extra training in analyzing where the subluxation is (or isn’t) and what direction of the adjustment should be performed has helped me enormously in accurately treating people using a FDA approved tool that allows me to correct the subluxation while the patient is lying quietly in a comfortable, relaxed position.
A really serious “Activator Doctor” may use a special adjusting table that is wide and uses a motor to lower and raise a patient from a standing position to lying down and back up again.
Dr Hansen’s table in the down position. PS: that cushion in the corner with the horse shoe shaped bit on top is especially made for pregnant patients, it has hollowed out areas for the womb and breasts.

A really serious “Activator Doctor” may use an FDA registered and approved chiropractic adjusting instrument rather than a cheap non-approved “little clicky thing”.
Although they may use other approved instruments too
