GONSTEAD METHOD
The Gonstead Method chiropractic technique is an approach to chiropractic care that focuses on the detection and correction of spinal subluxations. Developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead in the early 20th century, this method emphasizes a thorough analysis of the spine through detailed examinations, including X-rays and physical assessments.
By precisely locating misalignments, our Gonstead chiropractors can provide targeted adjustments, restoring proper alignment and function to the nervous system. Originating in the United States, the Gonstead Method is rooted in the belief that a healthy spine is crucial for overall wellness.
Dr. Gonstead’s innovative techniques, including the use of a specific adjusting table, allow for precise and effective adjustments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. This method has gained popularity due to its systematic approach and emphasis on thorough assessments. Many patients report significant improvements in their conditions following our Gonstead adjustments, making it an effective choice for a variety of issues, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
The method's focus on individualized care and detailed evaluation has earned it a reputation for being both safe and effective. As practitioners continue to refine and apply the Gonstead Method, it remains a trusted option for those seeking chiropractic care.
ACTIVATOR METHOD
The Activator Method chiropractic technique is a type of manual manipulation treatment used by chiropractors to treat various types of back and neck pain, as well as extremity complaints. This treatment method uses the Activator adjusting instrument, which is an alternative to traditional manipulation utilizing a high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust, just like most chiropractic techniques. The difference is Activator does not require the “cracking” of joints and is easily one of the most comfortable chiropractic techniques.
The Activator adjusting instrument is reported to be one of the more common therapeutic interventions used by chiropractors. According to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, about half of full-time American chiropractors have used the Activator Method in their practices. The Activator Method is also commonly used in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Activator Method chiropractic technique uses a spring-loaded, hand-held mechanical instrument called the Activator adjusting instrument. This instrument allows chiropractors to provide a quick, low-force impulse at specific points.
Here are two theoretical advantages of an Activator instrument-assisted treatment:
The applied force is localized and does not put the joint in any compromised positions, such as bending or twisting.
Newer Activator adjusting instruments are also on the market that work similarly to the older models. Newer models are cordless and powered electronically rather than being spring-loaded.
Leg Length Evaluation in the Activator Method
An evaluation of apparent leg length may be performed as part of the Activator Method treatment. This evaluation is based on the theory that apparent differences in leg length may indicate the location of spinal and/or pelvic misalignments.
However, this form of evaluation is controversial as there is a lack of clinical evidence to support this assessment approach.
Activator Method treatment providers may or may not use the apparent leg length evaluation method, as many rely on routine physical examination approaches, such as static and motion palpation of the spine, to determine the location to apply the Activator adjustment.
