Pregnancy Comfort
The Gonstead practitioner’s focus of chiropractic care for the pregnant mother is unique and very specific when compared to the care given to the non-pregnant patient. Since the body changes quickly during pregnancy, preexisting and unnoticed imbalances in your pelvis and spine may become stressed. Pelvic alignment and nervous system balance are very important in creating a comfortable pregnancy and a safe delivery.
Pediatric Development
The legacy we leave depends on the health of our children. Our spines and nervous systems are the number one neglected system in healthcare. Today, more and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children for pediatric development. Any informed healthcare provider knows that many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth.
Athletic Performance
Athletes have special needs and we understand the specific nature and requirements necessary to help you achieve peak performance. When your body is in better alignment, your nervous system is finely tuned and all systems are energized.
Extremity Care
Gonstead Chiropractic care is an intelligent way to keep the the joints of the spine in proper motion and alignment, in order to improve the health of the body. This same art can also be applied to the joints of the extremities, helping to keep your arms, legs, hands and feet healthy, and help recovery from injuries.
Pre/Post Surgical Cases
Did you know that most people still live in pain after spinal surgery and many operations result in a second spinal surgery? A study in the journal Spine explains that many times spinal surgery leaves patients in more pain.
Difficult Cases
Our patients travel from different states to experience the world renowned Gonstead Technique. Why would our patients pass many chiropractors to seek our care? To experience the difference. Dr. Bobby always gives his best recommendations for care, and if we choose to except your case we will confidently start treatment promptly. If we are unable to except your case we will refer you to the appropriate healthcare providers.
Gonstead History
In the early 1960’s word began to spread about a healer in a small farming town in Wisconsin. People of all ages and walks of life came to see him from around the world. That man was Clarence S. Gonstead. He became a chiropractor in 1923 following his personal experience with a chiropractic miracle. Through chiropractic care he was healed from a painful, crippling episode of rheumatoid arthritis.
Gonstead Scientific Research
As a published researcher himself, Dr. Bobby Fano values the science and research that validates the Gonstead approach. The Gonstead Method of Chiropractic is one of the most researched techniques to date and is taught at almost all chiropractic colleges on the planet. It is referred as the “Gold Standard” of chiropractic because it is the most specific scientific approach to correcting subluxation.
Gonstead Corrective Care
The ultimate goal is to return the spine to its normal structural alignment, which in turn will also result in intervertebral disc healing, reduced muscular tension, improved balance of nerve flow, inhibition of early degenerative joint disease and a noticeable improvement in optimal nervous system function and overall performance. Correct posture is important to a properly functioning spine.
Brain-Body Connection
New science is confirming that healthy movement patterns in our joints, specifically our spine, supercharges our brain activity, increases learning and development in children, and reduces stress hormones circulating through our bodies. John Ratey, MD, professor at Harvard Medical School and author of “Spark – The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain has shown the research that proves proper joint movement during exercise “turns on” our brains and conditions it for learning.
Disc Mechanics
Correct biomechanics of the intervertebral disc is at the foundation of the Gonstead Technique. The curves in your spine act as a spring or shock absorbers that resist gravity. They also protect and reduce forces acting on the spinal cord and nerves exiting the spine. Proper curves are dependent on the health of your intervertebral discs. Unfortunately, gravity, poor posture, improper physical activity, injury, and disease can all play a role in the misalignment of your spinal joints and, as a result, affecting the entire structure of your body.
Spinal Decay
Chiropractic is a drug-free, physiologically compatible health care that allows the body to heal itself by allowing the nervous system to function better. When nerve interference is removed with gentle chiropractic adjustments, healthy cell metabolism, organ function, and mental and physical well-being are restored. According to the research, that means more energy, better movement, and a stronger immune system. More and more families are choosing chiropractic because no one is ever too young or too old to obtain a healthy nervous system for life.
Subluxation
There is a specific and scientific reason you are up to your neck in pain. Most likely it is due to your spine not being in healthy alignment. Unhealthy spine alignment is a mechanical and neurological problem called Vertebral Subluxation.
