Chiropractic care has gained quite immense popularity among people who are looking for natural pain relief. However, within chiropractic care, there are many different techniques used.
Among all of these techniques, the Gonstead system is known by many as the gold standard in chiropractic care because of its precise diagnosis and highly effective targeted adjustments.
Unlike traditional chiropractic, the Gonstead method gives chiropractors additional ways to detect and treat the exact source of pain. This unique mode of treatment often helps patients experience faster relief without depending on opioids and other drugs.
Advantage 1: Precise Diagnosis Using Advanced and Hands-On Techniques
Gonstead chiropractic care revolves around the fact that this treatment method identifies the root cause of the discomfort or pain to dispense effective targeted treatment.
The traditional chiropractic methods have fewer ways to determine the exact source of a problem and therefore may provide only general adjustments. In contrast, chiropractors trained in the Gonstead method have additional ways to pinpoint the exact area in the spinal column or other joint that needs correction.
A more comprehensive diagnosis allows a more precise chiropractic adjustment. Which can offer better and more complete relief and longer-lasting results. This allows our Gonstead chiropractors to make sure that our patients at Nordik Chiropractic get the most effective and efficient care possible.
The Gonstead system stands out from the crowd with its unique five-step analysis, which uses advanced instruments, as well as hands-on techniques, to diagnose spinal subluxation.
Let’s look into the five steps in brief:
1. X-Rays – At Nordik Chiropractic Clinic, we conduct full spinal X-rays to get a complete view. This helps our chiropractors identify the exact location of your misalignment.
2. Palpation – This is a hands-on technique where our chiropractors detect the area of discomfort. We use both static and motion palpation to find the pain areas.
3. Instrumentation – At our clinic, we use the Nervoscope to identify the inflamed areas in the spine by measuring temperature changes.
4. Visualization – Our chiropractors carefully observe the patient’s body posture, and gait to understand where the misalignment lies causing pain.
5. Health History & Case Management – Learning each patient’s unique history and health challenges is an important aspect of developing an effective treatment plan.
What Benefits Do Patients Get?
As mentioned before, the five-pronged approach of the Gonstead system helps our chiropractors understand our patient’s spinal health in utmost detail and create a treatment plan catering to their needs.
With the help of this unique multi-layered analysis, patients need fewer diagnostic sessions and precise adjustments that treat the root cause of their discomfort and pain.
The patients get confidence in their treatment plan which results in faster relief. People who undergo the Gonstead method of chiropractic care can enjoy significant improvement in their conditions sooner rather than later.
Advantage 2: Targeted Adjustments for Faster, Lasting Relief
The Gonstead system is different from other traditional forms of chiropractic care in that it uses precise and customized spinal adjustments.
Contrary to general chiropractic techniques that often adjust general areas of the spinal column, the Gonstead technique makes more precise and targeted hands-on adjustments only to the specific vertebrae or spinal joints causing the problem.
These precise adjustments can often provide the patient with a faster and more complete correction of their issue.
Gonstead chiropractors also have advanced training in more adjustment techniques. Whereas a traditional chiropractor has one adjusting table, a Gonstead chiropractor has four adjusting tables and chairs. This allows the chiropractor to perform a more effective and targeted corrective adjustment based on everyone’s needs.
A targeted adjustment with the Gonstead method is especially useful for treating health conditions like sciatica, back pain, migraines, and neck pain as well as many others. In fact, since all nerves run through the spine, a spinal misalignment can impact every system of the body. This is why so many health issues can be corrected with appropriate chiropractic care.
Our chiropractors who are experienced in the Gonstead method carefully apply the right amount of pressure to perform an effective adjustment. This boosts the natural healing capability of the body.
Many times, our patients have experienced immediate pain relief after an adjustment. Our customized treatment plan, followed by regular wellness care, can even prevent future injuries and promote better recovery, mobility, and quality of life.
The benefits of the Gonstead method go beyond just immediate pain relief. It also helps restore your spine to its natural state and prevents recurring issues. This treatment technique is also useful for patients who are looking for long-term, drug-free solutions to live pain free and with improved health overall.
