How Gonstead Helps
The relationship of the disc and subluxation is crucial to the Gonstead practitioner. The thorough Gonstead analysis enables Dr. Handlos to determine specificity how a vertebra has misaligned and how the disc has been affected. Dr. Handlos then uses this information to determine the best approach to restoring proper position and motion of the subluxated segment. In most cases an adjustment will be warranted. The Gonstead adjustment involves great care to ensure a mechanically correct position and precise thrust to provide the most accurate and painless adjustment possible.
