seeking health from the inside out.
Gentle and specific care produces results.
With chiropractic care, the body can adapt and heal from a wide variety of symptoms - all on its own. Whether you have major back/neck pain or are just looking for another way to support your overall health, you've come to the right place.
The Gonstead System
Visualization
What does the back look like? The doctor looks for evidence of swelling, skin discoloration, skin moisture changes, or temperature changes. The gait (or how a patient walks) is assessed as well.
Static/Motion Palpation
This involves feeling the back for evidence of misalignment. Particular segments are tested for movement restriction.
Thermography
A handheld thermography tool is used to find any sharp changes in the skin temperature of the back. These are most likely areas where swelling exists and where nerve function is being affected.
Radiography (Xrays)
Standing, full spine films are taken to see exactly what is going on structurally and biomechanically. Furthermore, x-rays are of extreme importance in determining the exact misalignment and subsequent line of misalignment correction.
