Discs are pads between the vertebrae made of a spongy substance encased in cartilage. When a vertebra misaligns, it applies uneven pressure on the disc, causing it to swell and protrude, often referred to as a slipped, herniated, or ruptured disc. Chiropractors call this a SUBLUXATION, which can result in nerve compression and inflammation. This can lead to various ailments and pain.
Misaligned vertebrae, especially those in the upper spine, are typically easy to identify. However, misalignments in the lower spine are harder to detect. Correcting these misalignments is crucial in the Gonstead technique. If the lower spine has a misaligned vertebrae, the body compensates by misaligning a vertebra above to stay upright. If only the top misaligned vertebrae is adjusted, it can only provide limited relief. For comprehensive results, all misaligned vertebrae must be identified and corrected. Each chiropractic case presents a unique combination of misaligned vertebrae.

-Thorough Patient Health History
It is essential to understand the health challenges that each patient faces as not one story is identical to one another. We are committed to identify the underlying cause of these challenges as they involve an altered neurological function and frequently disturbed systemic health.
-Visualization (Postural Assessment)
Helping to identify abnormal posture patterns from the neck to the low back and hips including upper and lower extremities when walking can enable a better understanding of spinal biomechanics and gait patterns.
-Instrumentation
The doctor will use a handheld instrument that has dual probes to detect heat differences at each spinal level caused by subluxations or nerve interference.
-Static and Motion Palpation
The purpose of palpation is to identify specific spinal levels of inflammation and altered muscle tone. Performing motion palpation followed by static palpation will help to identify the location of joint restriction of what direction the bone has subluxated.
