Here at Modern Movement Medicine we provide specific and quality Gonstead Chiropractic. Our Gonstead Chiropractors go above and beyond taking the time to conduct a thorough analysis of your spine using a 5 step analysis to determine the presence/location and the root cause of the symptoms you may be experiencing.
The 5 step analysis includes:
Visualization- We ask all of our patients to wear a gown each visit, this will allow your chiropractor see subtle changes in your posture.
Instrumentation- The instrument of choice that both Gonstead Chiropractors here at our office use is the Nervoscope. Dr. Alyssa and Dr. Brittany will glide this Nervoscope down your spine at every visit. The job of the Nervoscope is to detect uneven distributions of heat along the spine which can be indicative of inflammation and nerve pressure. This and full spine x-rays allows us here at Modern Movement Medicine to better serve you by being as specific as possible with your adjustments.
Static Palpation- Your Gonstead Chiropractor will feel or palpate your spine without movement to detect pockets of edema/swelling or tenderness in the spine caused by irritation of the nerves.
Motion Palpation- We then move to feeling or palpating with movement so determine how the joint is moving or more importantly NOT moving.
X-Ray Analysis- The last but certainly not the least step of this analysis is full spine x rays. These x-rays are helpful in evaluating joint and disc integrity, vertebral misalignments and also allow us to rule out any pathologies, or recent fractures that may be present or contributing to your condition.
Our goal as Gonstead Chiropractors is to provide the most specific care giving you relief of symptoms. Here are some symptoms patient experience relief from: Allergies, Sleep, Fatigue, Colds, Pain and more.
