Our patients enjoy results and lasting adjustments because of the Gonstead system. At Ribellia Family Chiropractic we use the Gonstead system exclusively for analysis, adjustment and case management. The Gonstead method was developed by a chiropractic genius, Clarence S. Gonstead, whose dedication to figuring out the human body was legendary. People from many other countries flew in to be helped by this man. This approach to chiropractic makes the doctors much more specific both in location and adjustment of spinal injury.
The Gonstead system of analysis has five steps to determine when and where a person needs an adjustment to reduce interference to the nervous system.
Gonstead chiropractors start by looking for clues such as how you walk and your posture. Gonstead chiropractors also observe your back for visible abnormalities in spinal alignment, muscle tone and balance. Ladies put a gown on and men remove their shirt.
The second step checks for swelling of the spinal joints. If you have ever twisted an ankle, you know joints swell and can be very painful. Well, all joints can be injured and swell. The swelling is a natural part of healing, but can become part of the problem if it stays too long.
Next the chiropractor will use a nervoscope to check spinal nerve impulse balance. Nerves exit your spine in pairs (one on the right and one on the left) from the base of your head to the top of your tailbone (sacrum). Nerve impulses control everything including the temperature of the tissues next to the spine. The nervoscope detects these unbalanced temperatures. The nervoscope readings will tell the chiropractor when there is nerve pressure or irritation.
Fourth chiropractor feels the spinal joints as you are moved back and forth and side to side in the seated position. A swollen or misaligned joint will not move well or at all.
Finally, the Gonstead chiropractor will take pictures of your entire spine. The exact direction of misalignment and damage from old injuries will show up. The doctor uses the x-rays to make the most efficient adjustment possible.
