The Gonstead System of Analysis & Chiropractic Adjustments
The Gonstead Chiropractic technique is the most sought technique in chiropractic care. Routinely, patients travel from all over the world to receive quality Gonstead care.
Components of the system:
X-Rays
Involves looking at specific x-rays to help put all of the pieces of this puzzle together. The x-ray will help explain why certain findings were present upon examination, and will provide the best mechanical approach to correcting these problems.
Palpation
The process of feeling and motioning the tissues surrounding the spine by hand. Palpation can reveal swelling around the spine, abnormal muscle tone, and other signs that help the doctor determine exactly where a problem could lie. This also is very difficult to perform accurately through a layer of clothing; another reason for our unique setup is to enable a precise evaluation at every visit.
Instrumentation
Involves the use of a handheld instrument that measures temperature on each side of the spine. This instrument is guided down the length of your back, and feels like two fingers touching your skin. Readings from this instrument provide another piece of information to the clinician as to exactly where the patient’s problem exists, as well as when it is appropriate to adjust or not to adjust the patient. The instrument is adjustable to fit any size spine, from newborn to elderly.
Visualization
Involves looking at one’s posture, gait (walking), and also being able to observe any changes to the skin, musculature, or contour of the spine. The patient is dressed in a comfortable gown that opens in the back to expose the surface of the spine.
Case Management (Symptomatology)
This is where we apply all of the information from our analysis to determine the precise action for care. Each patient’s treatment plan is fully personalized and customized to them based on their unique situation.
