Gonstead Chiropractic: A Holistic Approach to Disc Health
Gonstead chiropractic can be a non-invasive, holistic approach to treating disc problems and other musculoskeletal issues. The Gonstead System focuses on correcting structural shifts, or subluxations, in the spine using specific adjustments to the vertebra to improve spine health, and overall health and wellbeing. Gonstead chiropractors use a five-step process to detect and correct structural shifts in the spine. The basic principles of the Gonstead System focus on creating a strong foundation to increase function between the brain and body, and improve range of motion in the spine which, over time, can improve disc health.
Intervertebral discs are the gel-like pads or cushions that sit between the vertebrae in your spine. They act as shock absorbers to help to keep your spine healthy, stable, and flexible. These discs allow you to run, jump, and move. However, discs can become damaged when vertebra are shifted. These shifts cause an uneven pressure on the disc causing it to swell, protrude, or even herniate. This can cause pain, inflammation, and other problems.
Here are some of the ways that Gonstead chiropractic can help to improve disc health:
Reduce pain and inflammation: Gonstead adjustments use precise and specific adjustments to a vertebra. When a vertebra is in proper alignment, there can be equal pressure on the disc. This equal pressure can help to reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation.
Improve range of motion: Gentle, precise adjustments can also help to improve range of motion in the spine. This can make it easier to perform everyday activities and reduce the risk of further injury.
Strengthen the muscles and ligaments: Gonstead chiropractic can also help to strengthen the muscles and ligaments that support the spine. When there is proper structure the musculoskeletal system can function properly. This can help to prevent future disc problems and other musculoskeletal problems.
Promote healing: Gonstead chiropractic is a great approach to increase overall healing, health, and wellness. When our spine is in proper alignment we can help to promote healing by improving circulation to the affected area and reducing inflammation. This can help patients to recover from disc problems and other musculoskeletal injuries more quickly.
