Does doing a neck adjustment in the neck help pain in the back ?

[@gonsteadchiropractordong8918]

Hi doctor, I have a question for you. I’m a student of gonstead chiropractic in China. In the process of setting up, the finger tip should be under SP, how do you take the slack out and hook SP? Thank you so much doctor

[@gonsteadchiropractordong8918]

It’s a great educational video, and you are owesome doctor! I kept learning the lower cervical, especially when the contact point is SP, it’s too difficult to do that adjustment, because there is too much slack, I failed every time, but I kept learning. So could you please give me some advice about this adjustment? Thanks so much for the help

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

Thanks for the kind words. Here are some pieces of advice: -build hand strength, --> place a rubber band on outside of fingers and open against resistance until you can't do a quality rep, then switch hands, then repeat...often. -->cut a tennis ball in half, place the flat part (where its cut) against a wall and get into adjusting position, practice thrusting into the ball ***In regards to the spinous contact and the slack, the tip of the finger butts up into the lateral inferior portion of spinous, but don't get hung up on if a small portion of your proximal digit is in contact with lamina region when you are setting up (taking out the slack)- its the thrust that matters, that's when the specificity of the contact is realized.

@@GonsteadSpineWellness Thank you so much for the advice you gave me, I struggled with this lower cervical adjustment for several months. Now I will follow your advice and improve my finger strength through exercises, I hope I can master this technique as soon as possible. I will tell you when I succeed.

@@GonsteadSpineWellness It’s a detailed explanation I have received, just now I used rubber bands and half of a tennis ball to do what you told me for an hour, it was great. I can feel the muscles of both my fingers and forearms is burning. According to your advice, there is some mistakes in my previous thrust, my contact point is just below the SP, so it’s easy to slip and miss the thrust. Secondly, I just sidebend patient’s head and neck, and now I think I should add a litttle rotation which I believe is easy for me to take the slack out, and get my finger tip right underneath the lateral inferior of SP. So doctor is it OK? Thank you so much

[@gonsteadchiropractordong8918]

@@GonsteadSpineWellnessHonestly speaking, you are the first doctor to give me advice in detail, I mean step by step, which is so important to me. Because I like gonstead chiropractic so much, X-ray analysis, marking system, palpation, side posture, a lot of it, it’s not just my job but my belief in real life. I do help some patients to get rid of pain with gonstead chiropractic, knees, lower back, mid-back, ankles. If one day you have a chance and fly to China, remember to contact me, come to my city which is quite near Beijing, have a good time with local food.

do u ever adjust occiput backwards

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

not sure i understand the question. What do you mean backwards? In the Gonstead work, we work on the occiput as it relates to the atlas, the atlanto-occipital joint. The occiput can misalign PS (posterior superior) and AS (anterior superior). In. addition, it can do this on the right or left, and there an be rotation involved in addition to these types of misalignments.

[@rematchrepeater]

@@GonsteadSpineWellness Thanks. I get answer.

[@rematchrepeater]

Posterior means backward. I think so.When anterior goes a bone then we have to adjust a bone posterior
