Gonstead Adjustment: Getting Jenna From X-Ray To Neck Relief

In this video, Dr. Todd performs a chiropractic adjustment on his assistant Jenna - inducing great relief, ESPECIALLY in response to the Gonstead neck adjustment.

• What YOU WANT COVERED ...
Gonstead cervical adjustment differs from that of the non-Gonstead chiropractor. There is no twisting involved. The chiropractic adjustment can go very deep, therefore it is common that Gonstead chiropractic adjustment leads to emotional release.
Jenna is well along her way to achieving 100% spinal health - she did not arrive with neck pain and back pain, for example - so it will be more accurate here to say she gets to experience relief with Gonstead technique (AGAIN.) Though she does experience tension in her neck from the long hours she puts in at work, so neck pain relief is a welcome benefit of being treated with Gonstead.
This video is an accurate instance of Gonstead chiropractic explained through seeing how an adjustment is administered. While the focus of Jenna’s treatment has been her neck, this session contains Gonstead adjustment of thoracic and cervical spine, along with adjustment of lower back. The full-service Gonstead chiropractic adjustment.

Our mission is to heal AND educate our entire community! What didn't we cover in this video that you're still curious to know?

[@agb6286]

So wait, why is Gonstead so special / different from other chiropractic? Only difference I see on the neck adjustment is that you do it standing up while every other chiropractor I've worked with does it while I'm lying on my back

[@lanaehoffman4827]

@@agb6286 I've gone to other chiropractors and Gonstead is way more thorough. The neck adjustment normally is a scary thing for me. The way they do it is more taking care of the particular vertebra that needs adjusting.. I feel more relaxed they way they do it. My normal chiropractor is 3 blocks away. Now I drive 28 miles to Gonstead. They teach you so much about what they are doing to you. Also you learn exercises atc that you can do there and at home.

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

The neck adjustment is one of the biggest obvious visual notable differences, but all of the technique is slightly different in the sense that the goal is to set the vertebra from back to front primarily, and to affect the disc in the adjustive thrust.

@@GonsteadSpineWellness 3 years ago I had zero knowledge of chiropractic and unfortunately went with a friend and got adjusted from a non-Gonstead chiropractor. No X-rays and did a full adjustment including my neck with rotation. I left there and felt fine but the next morning I woke up feeling like I was drugged and partially brain damage almost. It took months to subside to a point I no longer complained about it but never fully went back to normal. Particularly after exercising I feel disoriented and my eye motor function feels off. Can I come to you guys and you reset my neck? Is it a matter of what he did he off set something In there where it’s pressing on nerves? I don’t have neck pain. Other than some pressure. I feel gonstead is the safest and I’m really hoping this can be fixed. Have you ever seen this before and fixed it? Dying for some answers and some hope.

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

@@seaturtlegrl we would be happy to do a detailed examination with you to determine what’s going on- and if there are no contraindications to adjusting your neck- we will do so with the utmost precision. Flexion/ extension x-rays and upper cervical lateral bending views will be in order to rule out/measure any spinal instability. Give our clinic a call: 208-888-6077 -Dr Todd

Now I want to go look up Psalm 62:2 😂 Great video Dr Todd!

[@agb6286]

Yeah man! I looked that up too: "Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Jenna's got THE POWER etched on her back, solid choice of tattoo

[@sabatini7072]

OMG looks so refreshing...

[@andreasmk3182]

Bad cameraman

[@phantasma669]

your scoping is incorrectnyou get air inside the scope's poles

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

scoping police!!!

[@brandihunter1518]

I have seen this and been adjusted 100+ times and still watched the whole thing. So mesmerizing for some reason.

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

Thx for sharing Brandi! And make sure you still get checked and adjusted!

[@shivashakya3370]

Very very informative thank you

[@hover_roller_balance_boards]

Tension based chiro is the truth. If there’s any level of tension or range issues adjust and be thorough. X rays are good but you can only adjust what can be adjusted based on any level of tension or limits on range of motion. That’s how you should do adjusting it’s so accurate. Show me conclusive Gonstead studies of a patient with same condition 1 adjusted 1 side only VS both sides over a yr. Leaving an area unadjusted keeps toxins / movement/ inflammation unchecked. I had Gonstead and it made me lopsided and inhibited my progress. I got adjusted both sides and it started to get better. Maybe it’s a scam to make you keep coming as you don’t get better. Gonstead is all fake science that sounds good on paper yet doesn’t do anything to improve the balance. Explain why Gonstead is very uncommon amongst the chiro community? Only a small # of chiros do it. I don’t believe in and majority of chiros don't.

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

I don't think you are looking for any sort of explanation- sounds like you have already reached your conclusion. I agree, many patients do need to have the joint cleared from both sides, I do that much more often than the Gonstead work teaches, but after 20 years in practice and seeing tens of thousands of patients, these are the things we learn as when TO do this and when TO NOT.

[@maxamillionmettler330]

Interesting LOC for C7.. no?

[@mnowadmin5676]

Why do you say that? Right through the plane line of the disc.

[@christopherconnolly6462]

SLICK PRONE WORK!

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

thx doc!

[@sumantsasmal4336]

Can physiotherapist do the course

[@cilpsooo1]

Doctor, could you misaligne a c6 vertebrae cervical adjustment if done wrongly? If so, could you be able to fix it?

[@GonsteadSpineWellness]

Hi Emad- We periodically do see patients that feel as if they’ve been adjusted in a way that has made them worse or created problems- and oftentimes locating and properly adjusting the correct vertebra, has alleviated these complaints. Give our clinic a call for more information 208-888-6077 -Dr Todd

[@cilpsooo1]

@@GonsteadSpineWellness thank you for replying doctor, my c6 still burns when i move my head 1 week after an adjustment. It got better yesterday. But today after i woke up many times because i move my head when i sleep. So it started to burn again.
