Did you know that there are over 200 different chiropractic techniques? Each technique reflects a chiropractor’s unique approach to analyzing health and delivering adjustments. But why is this important? The answer lies in specificity.
Consider this: the more precise a heart surgeon is, the less likely they are to cause harm and the more likely they are to achieve a successful outcome. The same principle applies to chiropractic care. The more specific an adjustment is, the quicker you’ll experience results and the more effective your care will be.
This is why Dr. Thomas and Dr. Abigail chose the Gonstead technique as their primary method of care. Gonstead is one of the few techniques with its own x-ray analysis, palpation techniques, and adjustment methods. This level of precision ensures that each adjustment is delivered with accuracy and care.
The Gonstead method is so comprehensive that it’s one of only three techniques tested on the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. Even more remarkable, fewer than 10% of chiropractors worldwide use this technique. It’s designed to help everyone—from pediatric and prenatal patients to seniors—making it adaptable to all stages of life.
At Eden Chiropractic, we pride ourselves on offering care that is always specific and personalized, never cookie-cutter. The Gonstead method’s in-depth analysis allows us to monitor how your body is healing and progressing with each adjustment.
Our goal is simple: move only the bone that’s interfering with your nervous system—nothing more. By focusing on what matters most, we deliver care with precision and purpose.
Every adjustment at Eden Chiropractic begins with comprehensive analyses. Each step in this process ensures we gather the most accurate information before making any adjustments. Here’s a breakdown of our multi-step system:
X-rays are essential because they reveal the health of your spine. We look for any degeneration or arthritis and assess the severity of these issues. X-rays also allow for precise postural measurements down to the millimeter, giving us insight into your unique spinal alignment and structure.
We use a device called a nervoscope to detect nerve pressure in your spine. This instrument measures temperature differences on both sides of the spine, helping us identify areas where your nervous system may be under stress. Over time, as you continue with care, we expect to see fewer adjustments needed as your body holds them more effectively.
Palpation is the “hands-on” part of care. By feeling the spine, we identify areas of swelling, changes in tissue tone, and other signs of nervous system dysfunction. This tactile assessment helps us locate and correct subluxations—areas where spinal misalignments interfere with nervous system function.
Throughout your visit, we monitor your posture, shoulder alignment, and gait. Although these may seem minor, they provide crucial clues about your body’s state and help us deliver precise care tailored to your needs.
The adjustment is what you’ve been waiting for, but it’s only possible after completing the four prior steps. The more data we gather, the better decisions we can make for your nervous system and overall health. At Eden Chiropractic, knowledge leads to better care, and better care leads to better outcomes.
In healthcare, the right approach can make all the difference. At Eden Chiropractic, we’ve chosen the Gonstead technique because it goes beyond adjustments—it’s about understanding your unique needs through comprehensive assessments and specific care.
With this technique, we’re not just making corrections; we’re empowering your body’s natural ability to heal. By addressing the root cause of health issues, we help you achieve lasting results.
