What is a Gonstead Doctor and Why Is It Better?
It it is good to know that all chiropractors do not "adjust" the same way.
Although
they all have the same goals...to correct the subluxations in your
spine for the purpose of maintaining your good health... chiropractors
have different methods of analysis and some use different specific
adjusting procedures.
Gonstead
procedures are the result of extensive clinical research by Clarence
S.Gonstead, founder of the world famous Gonstead Clinic of Chiropractic
in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. His methods are still available for use by
today’s doctors of chiropractic. So you probably are wondering why
don’t all chiropractors use this technique? Because the analysis takes
more time and mastering the art of delivering a specific adjustment
takes years of practice and dedication.
The
Gonstead Doctor can provide you with tremendous benefits... much more
then just then just an average Chiropractor. All Gonstead Doctors
follow the same procedures, so it is comforting to know that
should you take a vacation or move to a new area, you can continue to
get the same quality care without interruption or change in style and
technique.
Meet Your Local Gonstead Chiropractor - Dr. William K. Haley
The Gonstead Chiropractor goes beyond what many chiropractors do during your office visit. Pleasant Hill Chiropractic Center has such a chiropractor. Dr. William K. Haley
will perform a complete spinal assessment created after a thorough
analysis of your spine using five criteria to detect the presence of
the vertebral subluxation using the following five criteria:
Visualization – Dr. Haley looks for subtle changes in your posture and movement which could indicate any problems.
Special
Tool – The most important instrument in the Gonstead System is the
Nervoscope which detects uneven distributions of heat along the spine.
This can be indicative of inflammation and nerve pressure. It is guided
down the length of your back and feels like two fingers gliding down
each side of your spine.
Stationary
Palpation – This is simply the process of feeling your spine in a
stationary position. Dr. Haley will want to feel for the presence
of any swelling, tenderness and any abnormal texture or tightness
in the muscles and other tissues of your back.
Motion
Palpation – This process involves feeling the spine while moving and
bending it at various angles. Dr Haley can determine how easily or
difficult each segment in your spine moves in different directions.
X-Ray
Analysis – X-ray films enable Dr. Haley to see pictures of the
structure of your spine.This can be helpful in evaluating your posture,
joint and disc integrity, vertebral misalignments. It may also help
with ruling out any pathologies, or recent fractures that may be
present or contributing to your condition.
After your analysis is complete, Dr. Haley will be ready to make any adjustments that are necessary.
The
Gonstead adjustment is focused to addressing only the problem areas of
subluxation. Much care is taken to give a precise thrust, giving an
accurate, and painless adjustment. . The nervous system controls and
coordinates all functions and tissues in the body. Therefore,
interference with the nervous system will have a broad effect on
function of the body. As subluxations progress with time they
have a continuing and worsening affect of the spinal structures.
Restoring and maintaining your optimal health is accomplished by
locating and correcting any interference to the nervous system caused
by vertebral subluxation.
