The Fundamentals of Our Naples Gonstead Chiropractic Method

Our Naples Gonstead chiropractic technique treatment was invented by Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead. The method takes a holistic approach to chiropractic treatment. It aims to achieve maximum improvement through the minimum number of adjustments. In essence, the technique involves giving the right adjustment at the right place at the right time.

Rather than making several adjustments and continuously assessing the patient for improvement, the Gonstead method focuses on diagnosis. The chiropractor conducts a thorough spinal analysis using the following methods:

Instrumentation, which tests the patient’s temperature and level of inflammation to determine the right time for adjustment
Digital palpation, which involves manually determining the location of spinal misalignment
Motion palpation, during which the patient performs certain specific movements that allow the chiropractor to determine the source of spinal misalignment
Visual analysis, which involves the chiropractor observing the patient’s spinal column in different postures
X-ray imaging, which allows the chiropractor a more detailed look at the affected areas

Once our Gonstead-trained chiropractor completes the full diagnostic analysis, they use high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrusts to adjust the spine in one targeted location. The technique is used by most trained and licensed chiropractors around the world.

Benefits of Working With Our Naples Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic

The skilled, licensed chiropractors at Naples Community Injury Center are well-versed in a wide variety of chiropractic methods, including the Gonstead chiropractic technique. The method provides numerous advantages, depending on your condition.

Pressure Reduction

Our Naples Gonstead chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure in the spine that causes nerve compression and shooting pains. By swiftly realigning the vertebrae using a targeted adjustment, your spine immediately reduces pressure on nerves and surrounding tissues.

Pain Relief

Whether you suffer from back and neck pain or discomfort in your extremities, our Naples Gonstead method can relieve that pain. A focused spinal adjustment realigns your spinal vertebrae, allowing your nerves, muscles, and soft tissues to return to their ideal positions. Scientific Reports indicates that spinal adjustments also affect the central processing of tonic pain, thereby easing patient discomfort.

Non-Invasive Treatment

Chiropractic adjustments are a non-invasive option to treat pain and stiffness in the back, neck, and extremities. The Gonstead method focuses on a thorough diagnostic process that minimizes the number of chiropractic adjustments necessary to treat the problem at its source.

Gonstead Chiropractic Technique With Physiotherapy Treatment Plans

Chiropractic adjustments of the spine are often part of a wider treatment plan that aims to rehabilitate and strengthen your body. Depending on the source and nature of your condition, we may incorporate a variety of physiotherapy services into your overall treatment plan.

Massage Therapy

A licensed massage therapist with Naples Community Injury Center can help relax your muscles, ease tension, and improve your circulation. By releasing the tension in your muscles, massage therapy increases the space between your joints, enhances your range of motion, and improves your flexibility.

Resistance and Strengthening Exercises

Rehabilitation exercises are often used in conjunction with other chiropractic and physiotherapy techniques once your condition begins to improve. The goal of resistance training is to grow your muscle mass and strengthen your bones and muscles. This builds a stronger foundation to heal and support the injured area. Ultimately, strength training aims to improve your mobility and reduce the potential for re-injury.

Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation (ES) focuses low-level electrical current into the area around your injury. The targeted current helps to reduce pain and encourage healing.

We also offer a variety of specialized physiotherapy techniques to address unique or severe conditions. Gait training, muscle energy techniques (MET), constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), weight-supported treadmill training, and constraint-induced language therapy can be incorporated into your personalized plan.
