The doctor will perform the Gonstead Analysis as it’s done on every visit to ensure the utmost specificity and proper care administered for the individual patient on that day.
Instrumentation from the skull to the tailbone to locate nerve irritation and pressure.
Palpation of the spine to find spinal swelling, skin texture changes and irritation causing pain.
Motion Palpation to feel precisely how the offending segment is not properly moving on that day (as we see the body healing, the severity of decreased motion decreases).
Visualization to notice any swelling, muscle changes, skin responses and gait analysis if needed.
Checking and rechecking the X-rays to ensure all of the findings are matching up and how to have the most specific adjustment possible on that day.
In order for a segment to be adjusted, it needs to fit the criteria of an instrument reading, swelling, decreased range of motion, and cause of interference to the communication between nervous system. This will usually cause only 1-2 areas to be adjusted, and precision in which segment, in which direction creates the most gentle and significant change possible from a chiropractic adjustment.
Every adjustment is done manually by our highly trained doctors, as they deliver the most precise and gentle adjustment possible to remove the vertebral subluxation.
It is common to see relief from the very first few adjustments by pinpointing the locations causing the most neurologic dysfunction in your body. Our doctors are not only looking to see if you are having relief from the problems that brought you in, but also monitoring how your body is displaying signs of healing. Since most of these issues have been accumulating over time, we can logically expect it to take time to restore back to healthy, as symptoms will usually dissipate before the area has healed. Our goal is to not only stop the dysfunction causing symptoms, but allow your body to be strong enough to handle stressors without the reoccurring up and down of symptoms seen in healthcare. Addressing the root cause helps the problems go away, and stay away, as opposed to simply minimizing symptoms and allowing the root cause to accumulate more dysfunction.
The Gonstead system will ensure you don’t get “the same exact thing” every time, as our doctors check to see where your body is not properly adapting THAT VISIT!
