Specific chiropractic enables us to focus body function in addition to pain reduction. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Drs. Becky and Jon-Eirik has years of training and experience in proper spinal care and adjustments.

The Gonstead Difference

The Gonstead Analysis

The Gonstead chiropractor conducts a thorough analysis of your spine using five criteria to detect the presence or absence of the vertebral subluxation complex.

1. Precise, Accurate and Small Adjustments
   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.
2. Static Palpation
   This is simply the process of feeling (or palpating) your spine in a stationary (or static) position. We will feel for the presence of swelling (or edema), tenderness and any abnormal texture or tightness in the muscles and other tissues of your back.
3. Motion Palpation
   This process involves feeling the spine while moving and bending it at various angles. This enables us to determine how easily or difficult each segment in your spine moves in different directions.
4. Visualization
   Visualization is a way to cross reference all the other findings. We are experts in looking for subtle changes in your posture and movement which could indicate any problems.
5. X-ray Analysis
   X-ray films enable us to 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.

After a complete analysis, we are ready to deliver any necessary spinal adjustments. The focus of our adjustment is to be as specific, precise and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas (areas of subluxation). Great care is taken to ensure a mechanically correct position and precise thrust to provide the most accurate and painless adjustment possible. It is our goal to restore and maintain optimal health by locating and correcting any interference to the nervous system caused by vertebral subluxation.

We take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our clinic.

  Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

  Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.
