Gonstead Technique
Gonstead Analysis
Dr Taylor starts by conducting a complete analysis of your spine to determine the locations of your vertebral sublaxations. There are a few different ways to locate your sublaxations.
Static palpation is the process of palpating (feeling) your spine while you are in a static (stationary) position. Dr Taylor is looking for swelling (edema), tenderness and any other abnormal textures or tightness in your muscles and ligaments in your back.
Motion palpation involves feeling the spine at different angles while moving and bending the spine. Dr Taylor will be able to determine the level of difficulty different areas of your spine experience while moving in multiple directions.
Visualization is used to cross reference all the other findings. Dr Taylor will look for slight changes in your posture and movement. These slight changes can be an indicator of spinal problems.
X-Ray analysis allows Dr Taylor to get a more in-depth view of the entire spinal structure. X-Ray Analysis is useful in determining the presence of disease, fracture, posture abnormalities, joint and disc integrity as well as misalignment of the vertebral.

Gonstead Adjustment
After Dr Taylor has complete his analysis, he will formulate a plan to address any areas of concern. Using the Gonstead adjustment, Dr Taylor can be specific, precise and accurate while addressing only the areas of concern (areas with subluxation). A mechanically correct position and precise thrust help enable a more accurate and as painless adjustable as possible. The goal of Dr Taylor is to restore and maintain your ideal health by eliminating interference to your nervous system that are caused by vertebral subluxation.
