Gonstead Chiropractic
The Gonstead technique uses precise, instrument-assisted adjustments to correct spinal subluxations through five diagnostic criteria. This method addresses nerve interference by targeting specific problem areas rather than generalized treatment. Patients benefit from reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced nervous system function across all life stages.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized chiropractic care for expectant mothers addresses biomechanical changes and nerve pressure during pregnancy. Using the Webster technique, we reduce labor times and alleviate discomfort while optimizing fetal positioning. Regular adjustments support maternal health and promote optimal nervous system function for both mother and child.
Pediatric Adjustments
Gentle spinal evaluations and adjustments for infants and children address birth trauma and developmental stressors. Early intervention prevents long-term issues affecting posture, digestion, and immune function. Our approach supports healthy nervous system development from newborns through adolescence using age-appropriate techniques.
Geriatric Support
Customized chiropractic solutions for aging patients address osteoporosis, post-surgical needs, and joint degeneration. Seven specialized treatment tables accommodate varying mobility levels while preserving nerve function. Our care improves balance, reduces fall risk, and maintains spinal health in later life stages.
Extremity Treatments
Comprehensive assessment and treatment of TMJ, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles using Gonstead principles. We identify compensatory spinal patterns contributing to extremity pain while addressing localized joint dysfunction. This integrated approach resolves chronic conditions like repetitive strain injuries and sports-related joint stress.

Questions
Is chiropractic care only for back pain?
No, chiropractic care addresses nerve interference throughout the body, improving communication between the brain and all organ systems.
Do I need lifelong chiropractic adjustments?
While not mandatory, regular spinal checkups maintain optimal nervous system function similar to routine dental care for oral health.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe for children?
Yes, we use modified techniques for infants and children, addressing birth trauma and developmental stressors safely.
What causes the popping sound during adjustments?
The sound comes from nitrogen gas release in ligaments, not bones rubbing together, and indicates successful joint separation.
Do you take X-rays during treatment?
X-rays are optional but provide valuable diagnostic information using specialized low-dose equipment when clinically indicated.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
We are out-of-network providers, but most insurance plans cover chiropractic services with patient-directed claims submission.
