We specialize in the Gonstead system, which is a very specific full spine method of analyzing and adjusting the spine. Five main components are utilized at each visit to help us determine what bone(s) need to be adjusted and in what specific direction. We also use various adjusting tables (Pelvic Bench, Hy-Lo, Knee Chest, Cervical Chair), depending on the person's spine.
Visualization
Your Chiropractor is an expert in looking for subtle changes in your posture and movement which could indicate any problems. Some of the things we look for are:
  • Gait / Watching you walk
  • Muscle tightness or spasming
  • Sitting / Standing positions
  • Skin changes such as rashes, pimples, swelling
Instrumentation
We utilize a heat-sensing instrument (Delta-T or Nervo-Scope) at each visit. This instrument detects uneven distributions of heat along the spine. These changes can be indicative of a bone being misaligned from its proper position, which then puts pressure on a nerve and results in swelling/inflammation in that area.
Static Palpation
&
Motion Palpation
Your Chiropractor will feel for the presence of swelling/edema, tenderness, and any abnormal texture in the muscles and other tissues of your back.

​We specifically and gently move the spine in different directions as we feel for what bones are moving properly and which ones are not, this helps us determine which areas to adjust.
X-Rays
We utilize full-spine X-Rays to help us view joint and disc integrity, finding vertebral misalignments, evaluating posture, locating fractures (old and new), and much more. X-Rays also help us in being specific as we can view the entire spine and can ensure we are fixing the bone in the correct direction.
Case Management
After evaluating the patient we compile all the information gathered after using the four (4) criteria listed above and correlate our findings to determine the possible root cause(s) of the patient's ailments. We then address the subluxations found on the patient utilizing the Gonstead Method of Analysis and Technique.
