This is a must have if you are a chiropractor and use activator in your practice. The book is a mix of history of chiropractic and how activator was developed, and a useful manual for adjusting. I love this book and use it often to look up tests I don't use often or just to make sure I use the right line of correction.

I find Fuhr's book to be logical and easy to read. He uses the appropriate research to solidify his methods. Great method to use

I am a chiropractic student and bought this textbook as a supplement for the seminars I am taking in April. So far it has been a good resource.

This book is good because it has lots of pictures and is small so that it is easier to carry.

The most comprehensive textbook on Instrument Adjusting
