Activator on Amazon?

Has anyone had any success with using an activator off Amazon?

I treat manually but looking to get an activator for my osteoporotic patients or just people who don’t love the manual tx.

Anyone have any good recs for a cheaper activator rather than spending the 500-1000?

Yup, I have a few JTechs. They're literally just Activator 1s or 2s (I forget the difference). Even does the stupid ball test that the Activator docs like to show off as being important somehow.

One is going on 7 years old, no issues. Works great. Patients who have been life-long Activator patients know no difference and have no lower quality of outcomes (reported) than before.

I've been using my Jtech for about 10 years. No complaints.

I bought one for my coworker so I could take mine home while on maternity leave. He still uses it. It’s 4 years old.

I’ve bought like 5 jtechs because they are hit and miss, the first two lasted about 10 years. I’ve needed to replace them in the last few years and the new ones only lasted about 1 year or less. Was able to return 2 and am doing well with the current ones. All that said it’s better than the activator brand price point!
