The Five Components of the Gonstead System

Let's take a quick look at each key element!
1.- Visualization: with trained eyes, we can detect subtle abnormalities in your posture or movements. This helps to make a more accurate as possible chiropractic clinical impression that ultimately can help to form a specific program of care.
 
2.- Nervoscope Instrumentation:  a Nervoscope it's the pain-free tool of choice for Gonstead chiropractors. It helps the chiropractor find uneven distributions of heat along your spine which ultimately could represent the level of nerve pressure- interference. The instrument will be gently run up and down your spine to look for nerve pressure or interference

3.- Static Palpitation:  next, we will analyses the spine (palpated-feel) while you are in a stationary (static) position. Each part of the spine is felt for any heat, swelling, bony prominence, or tenderness. Also the soft tissue such as muscles and ligaments are palpated for signs of tightness or injury.
 
4.- Motion Palpitation: the next step in the Gonstead method is to feel your spine while you're in motion. The Gonstead chiropractor will repeat many of the same palpation techniques he performed while you were stationary. Plus, you will be asked to sit, stand, lean forward, and bend side-to-side in order to feel different parts of the spine to see how the vertebrae, joints, and other structures respond to each movement.
 
5. X-Ray Analysis:   if clinically shown and based on the patient's past and present health history, full spine X-rays may be taken. Sometimes this may happen even before the chiropractic care begins. The X- rays are an important tool to reveal any underlying conditions such as fractures, joints or disc degenerations, anatomical malformations that could cause your discomfort as well as they make us aware of any potential contraindication and/or modification to the program care.
