A qualified and experienced doctor of chiropractic is the only practitioner who can diagnose, treat, manage and prevent The Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Your Gonstead practitioner will conduct a thorough examination by using your history, X-rays if medically necessary, instrumentation and motion analysis to diagnose the condition.

Once your condition is identified, your Gonstead Doctor will gently, precisely, and painlessly adjust the vertebrae in its correct position. The adjustment is the procedure whereby the doctor of chiropractic uses their hands to precisely replace the vertebrae into its correct position. This treatment will have to be repeated in order for the vertebrae to rehabilitate into its correct position. Once corrected, it is advisable to exercise and have periodic check ups to ensure the spine is healing appropriately. These check ups will reduce with time as the condition heals.
