Northeast College of Health Sciences has announced that founder and chairman of Activator Methods International Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr will be the keynote speaker at the Winter 2025 Commencement ceremony on March 29, 2025.

Part of an esteemed group of healthcare and business professionals noted for outstanding contributions to the international advancement of chiropractic, Dr. Fuhr will address the latest Northeast Doctor of Chiropractic graduates at the Seneca Falls Campus in New York.

Co-inventor of Activator Method and Adjusting Instrument

Dr. Fuhr became a member of the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine in 2000, he has been recognized by the World Federation of Chiropractic with its prestigious Honour Award, and in 2012 he was selected as the World Health Organization’s delegate representing the World Federation of Chiropractic.

Established over 50 years ago, the Activator Adjusting Instrument and the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique were co-invented by Fuhr. The method is the world’s most widely used instrument-adjusting chiropractic technique and is currently used by more than 70 percent of all chiropractors. Endorsed throughout the chiropractic field, the Activator Method is taught in nearly every college in the United States, including Northeast College of Health Sciences, and is globally acknowledged as the standard reference for instrument adjusting.

Educating chiropractors worldwide on the benefits of low-force chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Fuhr has taught and spoken from across the United States and Canada to Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom. Northeast College is grateful that Fuhr will stop in the Finger Lakes Region of N.Y. to address the College's newest chiropractic graduates and looks forward to hearing his inspiration and hopes for their future as chiropractors.
