The Gonstead Method
The Gonstead System of Chiropractic represents the ultimate standard in “hands on” spinal adjusting.
Most doctors do not have good solutions for aches and pains. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. French will not simply treat the pain with drugs, but will root out the underlying cause of your condition, ideally eliminating the pain permanently. With over 20 years experience and over 6000 patients, Dr. French has mastered the Gonstead chiropractic technique which is unparalleled in specificity among chiropractic techniques. Spinal adjustments are delivered only to the joint(s) in need as opposed to a “rack ‘em and crack ‘em” approach. Dr. French also educates on overall health thorugh proper diet, exercise and supplementation and is an expert in Functional Medicine.
Gonstead Chiropractic
Dr. Gonstead practiced chiropractic from 1923 until 1978. he decided to become a chiropractor after chiropractic adjustments allowed his body to heal from a painful, crippling episode of rheumatoid arthritis. Using his background in mechanical engineering and extensive hours studying cadaver spines, he developed a unique approach to applying chiropractic care. His application brought him national and international acclaim with such references as the “chiropractor’s chiropractor” and “miracle man”.
The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota would refer patients to his clinic in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin (population 1800 at the time). His Frank Lloyd Wright inspired clinic is still the largest to have existed. Dr. Gonstead’s brilliant mind and lifelong experience of treating over a million patients enabled him to develop and refine his technique, which is now taught and practiced by doctors of chiropractic worldwide.
How a Gonstead Chiropractor Performs an Analysis:
- Visualization – The Gonstead doctor looks for subtle changes in posture, movement and gait.
- Static palpation – The doctor feels for any swelling, tenderness, or abnormal texture or tightness in the muscles and soft tissues.
- Motion palpation – The doctor guides the patient through their able range of motion while feeling how each individual joint is moving.
- Instrumentation – A hand held thermocouple instrument is used to measure unequal heat distribution along the spine. Excessive localized heat can indicate inflammation and nerve irritation.
- X-ray – X-rays are taken weight bearing and are used to look for any disease process, fracture, posture, biomechanics, joint and disc integrity and vertebral misalignment.
Gonstead Adjustment
After this thorough analysis, if it is determined that you have a subluxation, the doctor will prescribe specific adjustments. The Gonstead approach is the gold standard for specificity and safety in chiropractic. Only the problem area is adjusted in only the direction needed. These adjustments are precise, effective, gentle and painless. Many who have had negative experiences with other adjusting techniques respond quite favorably to the Gonstead system of chiropractic.
