Dr. Luke, one of the leading Gonstead Chiropractors in Singapore, commonly uses this technique to help patients with slipped (herniated) discs. Many patients suffering from whiplash, headaches, and lower back pain have also experienced quick and lasting pain relief with this method.
The Gonstead technique is highly effective because it follows a precise system of analysis before any adjustment. This includes:
X-rays to check alignment and disc health
Static and motion palpation to feel for spinal restrictions
Instrumentation to detect changes in nerve function
After careful assessment, the chiropractor performs a specific adjustment to the mechanically faulty segment.
This adjustment involves very little rotation or twisting, making it gentle, safe, and comfortable. Many patients notice lasting results in a short period of time.
The Gonstead system is a complete approach to spinal analysis and adjustment. It is considered one of the most efficient treatments for slipped discs.
Chiropractic is recognized by the World Health Organization as a separate and distinct profession. It is not a medical or dental qualification, but a specialized field focused on spinal health and nervous system function.
