Gonstead Chiropractor Singapore
At Agape Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Luke Ho uses the Gonstead System as one of his primary chiropractic techniques. Gonstead is a detailed approach to spinal assessment and adjustment. Rather than adjusting multiple areas routinely, the aim is to identify specific joints that may not be moving or functioning normally and determine whether an adjustment is appropriate.
What Makes the Gonstead Approach Different?
A Gonstead assessment may include:
- Postural and movement assessment to identify changes in spinal mechanics.
- Static palpation to assess tenderness, muscle tension and surrounding tissues.
- Motion palpation to evaluate how individual spinal joints move.
- X-ray analysis, when clinically appropriate, to provide additional information about spinal structure and biomechanics.
These findings are considered together before deciding where and whether an adjustment should be performed.
Specific, Controlled Chiropractic Adjustments
Gonstead adjustments use a specific contact and controlled force directed at the selected spinal joint. The technique generally uses minimal rotational movement and can be adapted according to the patient’s age, condition and comfort.
Dr. Luke has extensive experience using Gonstead techniques as part of his approach to patients seeking care for neck discomfort, back discomfort, restricted movement and other musculoskeletal concerns.
Every patient is assessed individually. Chiropractic care is recommended only when the findings indicate that it is appropriate.
