Chiropractor Rocklin

Chiropractic care is a proven, non-invasive method focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those related to the spine. At Disc Wellness Chiropractic, we employ evidence-based techniques to enhance joint function, alleviate nerve irritation, and reduce pain. Our approach emphasizes restoring proper movement patterns and supporting the body’s natural healing processes, making chiropractic care effective for treating various injuries, managing chronic pain, and maintaining optimal spinal health.

A cornerstone of our practice is the Gonstead Technique, a precise chiropractic system developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead. This method involves a thorough analysis of the spine to detect subluxations—misalignments in the vertebrae that interfere with nervous system function. Unlike general or high-velocity adjusting methods, the Gonstead approach is highly specific, targeting individual vertebrae with precision.

The Gonstead Technique’s core principles include:

• Visualization: Assessing posture and movement visually.
• Instrumentation: Using a nervoscope to detect heat variations along the spine.
• Static Palpation: Checking for tenderness, swelling, and abnormal textures.
• Motion Palpation: Evaluating movement between vertebrae.

This technique avoids unnecessary twisting or rotating of the spine, focusing instead on a complete structural and neurological analysis to ensure accuracy and safety.

By integrating the Gonstead Technique into our chiropractic care, we offer patients a targeted, effective approach to spinal health, helping them move and feel better.
