GONSTEAD TECHNIQUE

THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CHIROPRACTIC

The Gonstead chiropractor goes beyond the standard chiropractic assessment, by conducting a thorough exam and analysis of your spine. This is accomplished by using five points of criteria to find the vertebral subluxation complex causing problems. The Gonstead technique focuses on the dynamics of intervertebral discs as the underlying cause of subluxations and resulting neurological dysfunction.

X-RAYS

We use full spine x-rays to provide full spinal contour representation for posture analysis and to show problems other than the chief complaint.

The x-ray is a blueprint of your spine, it confirms the doctor’s findings, shows any anomalies, and can aid in finding pathologies.

To see is to know. Not to see is to guess & we do not guess with your health.

INSTRUMENTATION

Classically a dual probe instrument (Nervoscope) is used to get a bilateral temperature comparison of the spine to locate areas of inflammation.

The reading obtained through instrumentation will show whether or not subluxations (misalignment in the spine) are present, if they are being corrected, and when correction has been attained.

PALPATATION

Both Static and Motion Palpation are utilized in Gonstead Chiropractic to precisely pinpoint areas of involvement.

Static Palpation is the “hands on” part of the examination. This will indicate changes in contour, tone, texture, and temperature on the patient.

Motion Palpation is used to determine a subluxation and its listing.

VISUALIZATION

We take into account all the information we can get from the patient by simply looking at them very carefully.

Visualization starts from the moment the patient walks in the door.

Differences in height between the ears, shoulders, and hips as well as posture and gait are used to confirm your X-ray and Palpation findings.

CASE MANAGEMENT

Understanding your health concerns guides us to the precise area needing adjustment.

Symptoms help differentiate between parts of the Autonomic Nervous System, assisting in applying targeted adjustments.

We address intervertebral disc dynamics as the root cause of subluxations and related neurological issues.

Take that first step toward better health.
