GONSTEAD CHIROPRACTOR IN COLORADO SPRINGS

Gonstead chiropractors in Colorado Springs set the bar for the ultimate standard in “hands-on” spinal adjusting. It has become one of the most well-recognized and respected chiropractic techniques throughout the world today. This technique was founded by Dr. Clarence Gonstead, a mechanical engineer by trade who first started chiropractic care after suffering from severe leg and foot pains as a result of his Rheumatoid Arthritis. Every conventional medical care he tried was unsuccessful. This eventually led him to try a more holistic route-finding chiropractic care. After undergoing care he saw significant changes in his health which prompted him to become a chiropractor himself.

What is the Gonstead Technique in Colorado Springs?

The Gonstead technique begins by looking at the body’s structural foundation, the spine and its discs, and their relationship to the nervous system. When the pelvis, vertebrae, and legs are level, maximum balance and stability of the spinal column is achieved. Everyday occurrences such as exercise, work, accidents, and even sleep can delevel your spine, causing spinal misalignments (also known as subluxations). Gonstead chiropractors take a close look at those misalignments, motion disturbances, and even more specifically, nerve dysfunction. The ultimate goal of a Gonstead chiropractor is to correct spinal misalignments the way D.D. Palmer, founder of chiropractic always intended it to be: with a pair of skilled chiropractic hands.

What makes Gonstead doctors different from other chiropractors?

Unlike other chiropractic techniques, the Gonstead Method focuses on all of the possible ways that your vertebrae can become misaligned and give special attention to the irritation it puts on the nerve around that vertebrae.

Where can I find a Gonstead chiropractor near me?

Our Colorado Springs Chiropractors are one of the few Gonstead Certified doctors in the Colorado area. We use 5 criteria to know exactly when and where to adjust in order to deliver the most specific and gentle adjustment every time.

1. Visualization. Visualization is a way to cross-reference all of the other findings. Your Colorado Springs chiropractor is an expert in looking for subtle changes in your posture and the movement of each spinal segment.
2. Instrumentation. The instrument of choice for Gonstead doctors is called the Nervoscope. This instrument helps our doctors know the specific areas of the spine where nerve irritation is taking place.
3. Static Palpation. This is simply the process of feeling your spine in a non-moving position. Our chiropractors will feel for the presence of swelling, tenderness, and any abnormal texture or tightness of the muscles and other surrounding tissues of the spine.
4. Motion Palpation. This process involves feeling the spine while in motion. This enables our chiropractors to determine how easily or how difficult each segment in your spine moves in different ranges of motion.
5. X-Ray Analysis. Our on-site digital x-ray suite enables our doctors to visualize the entire structure of your spine. This is very important in evaluating specifically where spinal segments have misaligned in order for our doctors to know exactly how to gently re-align them and restore proper communication to your nervous system.
