The main difference between a Gonstead Chiropractor and other Chiropractors is the in-depth analysis that underlies the Gonstead System. To learn more even more visit Gonstead.com

An Introduction to the Gonstead System

The Gonstead System involves a complete and thorough spinal analysis to detect the presence of a vertebral subluxation. X-rays will be taken for new patients. During each appointment, the doctor will use a nervoscope to detect heat along the spine to specifically identify where to adjust. Only the problem areas will be adjusted. These specific adjustments help return the vertebra to their proper position and restore normal mobility. 

Benefits of Routine Chiropractic Adjustments:

Chiropractic adjustments are performed to treat a wide variety of conditions, including (but not limited to):

  • Arthritis

  • Bursitis

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive strain disorders

  • Chronic muscle pain and stiffness

  • Headaches

  • Most musculoskeletal and sports-related injuries

  • Nerve disorders

  • Pain and stiffness in the back, chest, abdomen, neck, hips, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet

  • Sciatica

  • Scoliosis

  • Tendonitis

  • Whiplash and other traumatic injuries

After an adjustment, you are left with a greater sense of well-being, calm, and most importantly, on the road to a life without pain. Following an adjustment, some patients experience mild aching or soreness in their spinal joints or muscles, which can usually be relieved by an ice or heat pack.

Adjustments have been shown to:

  • Increase blood flow

  • Increase pain tolerance levels

  • Increase range of motion

  • Increase the body’s secretion of “feel good” chemicals, such as serotonin and endorphins

  • Reduce blood pressure

  • Reduce tension and muscle ache

A Walk Through of Your Visit

Your initial appointment will begin with a consultation to discuss your medical history and specific concerns. Read more about your first visit here.

During each visit, the doctor will use a nervoscope to detect heat and inflammation along the spine to determine exactly where to adjust. This allows Gonstead Chiropractors to be more precise in their analysis and adjustments!

Chiropractic adjustments are performed by applying gentle, yet firm pressure to a vertebra or extremities. The goal of any adjustment is to restore the bone to its natural position.
