    INJURIES

    If you have received injuries, there may be underlying perils which minor symptoms do not clearly help uncover. Major events and trauma should be followed up by professional chiropractors specializing in soft and hard tissue problems, so make sure to see your chiropractor for a full examination. Failure to receive proper treatment after severe injuries may result in long-term health issues.

5 Components of The Gonstead Technique

  • A healthcare professional conducting a posture assessment with a patient in a clinical setting, with a poster showing proper posture on the wall and a potted plant on a nearby table.

    Visualization

    Visualization considers all the information perceivable from the patient’s appearance. In the Gonstead System, Visualization starts from the moment a patient walks in the door, by the chiropractor simply looking at them very carefully. It is a way to cross-reference visual factors of the patient with X-Ray and Palpation findings.

  • Person using a handheld device for skin speed testing on their arm.

    Instrumentation

    Readings obtained through instrumentation will show whether subluxations are present, if they are effectively being corrected, and if permanent correction has been attained. A dual probe instrument, known as the Nervoscope, is skillfully used to get a bilateral temperature comparison of the spine to locate areas of inflammation.

    Static/Motion Palpation

    Gonstead Chiropractic employs both Static and Motion Palpation techniques to precisely identify areas of concern. Static Palpation is a hands-on examination that detects changes in contour, tone, texture, and temperature on the patient. Motion Palpation, on the other hand, is used to identify subluxations and their listings.

  • A male doctor examining spinal X-ray films on a lightbox in a medical office.

    XRay analysis

    In the Gonstead System, Full Spine X-Rays are crucial, capturing both A-P and Lateral views. These films measure 14" x 36" and include the area from ischia to occiput. Full Spine X-Rays use less radiation compared to sectional films and offer numerous advantages.

    They provide an accurate count of vertebrae, offer a comprehensive view of spinal contour for posture analysis with axial weight bearing, and reveal issues beyond the chief complaint. These factors make Full Spine X-Rays indispensable in Gonstead Chiropractic, allowing us to fully analyze and correct a patient's condition.

  • A young man with dark hair wearing a camouflage face mask, holding his forehead with one hand, appears to be experiencing a headache or discomfort, against a plain light background.

    Case Management

    In the Gonstead System, we synthesize information from these various analysis modes and correlate our findings to identify the likely cause of the patient's problem. Once Subluxations are pinpointed, we apply the appropriate Gonstead technique to effectively correct the problem areas.

    The Gonstead system places a strong emphasis on the dynamics of intervertebral discs as the root cause of subluxations and resulting neurological dysfunction. Therefore, Gonstead doctors are often referred to as "disc doctors," focusing on addressing these underlying issues for the benefit of their patients' overall health and well-being.
