Gonstead The Gonstead system is a specific and thorough chiropractic technique of adjusting vertebral subluxations. The Gonstead practitioner addresses your entire spine when evaluating the presence of vertebral subluxations which cause ill health. THE GONSTEAD ANALYSIS The Gonstead chiropractor conducts a thorough analysis of your spine using five criteria to detect the presence of the vertebral subluxation complex. X-Ray analysis
X-Ray films enable your doctor visualize the entire structure of your spine. This is helpful in evaluating for any disease processes, fracture, posture, joint and disc integrity and vertebral misalignments. Instrumentation  The instrument of choice in the Gonstead system is the Nervoscope. The Nervoscope detects uneven distributions of heat along the spine which can be indicative of inflammation and nerve pressure. This instrument is guided down the length of your back and feels like two fingers gliding down each side of your spine. Static Palpation  This is simply the process of feeling your spine in a stationary position. Your chiropractor will feel for the presence of swelling, tenderness and any abnormal texture or tightness in the muscles and other tissues of your back. Motion Palpation  This process involved feeling the spine while moving and bending it at various angles. This enables the chiropractor to determine how easily or difficult each segment in your spine moves in different directions. Visualization Visualization is a ways to cross-reference all the other findings. Your chiropractor is an expert in looking for subtle changes in our posture and movement which could indicate any problems. After a complete analysis, the Gonstead practitioner is ready to deliver any necessary spinal adjustments. The focus of the Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise, and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas (subluxation). Great care is taken to ensure a mechanically correct position and precise thrust to produce the most accurate and painless adjustment possible. It is the goal of your Gonstead doctor to restore and maintain optimal health by locating and correcting any interference to the nervous system caused by vertebral subluxation. |
