Chiropractic terminology can sound a little complicated… but it doesn’t have to be. 👏🏼

Subluxation. Adjustment. Nervoscope. Static palpation. Extremities.

These are words you’ll hear us use all the time, and we want you to actually understand what we mean when we say them.

Because Gonstead care is all about specificity - understanding how your spine is functioning, gathering information before we adjust, and knowing exactly what we’re addressing and why.

No need to study before your appointment. 😉 We’ll always take the time to explain what we’re looking at and what it means for your care.

Which chiropractic term should Dr. Marcos translate next? 👀

They grow up SO fast. 🥹💙

One minute they’re learning to crawl, and before you know it they’re running around, climbing on everything, and becoming their own little person.

And while we get to watch their little personalities develop, their nervous systems are developing right alongside them.

In Gonstead chiropractic, we pay close attention to subluxations in a growing spine because the spine and nervous system are closely connected. When an area isn’t moving or functioning as it should, it can be part of the bigger picture we consider when a parent tells us their child has been unusually irritable, having a harder time settling, or just hasn’t seemed like themselves lately.

That’s why Dr. B wants to hear about those changes. 👏🏼

We use the Gonstead system to assess their spine, identify specific areas that may need attention, and adjust only when our findings indicate it.

Because little bodies are doing a LOT of growing, and we want to support them through every stage of it. 💙

Motherhood asks a LOT of your body, and the way you position yourself while feeding, lifting or carrying your little one can change how much stress your back is taking on.

Dr. B is showing a few simple swaps that can help you move through those everyday moments with less unnecessary strain. 💙

And if your back continues to bother you even after changing up your positioning, it may be worth getting checked.

When there’s a problem at the foundation, the rest of the body may start moving differently to compensate. 👀⁠
⁠
In the lower spine, we’re paying close attention to the lumbar vertebrae, pelvis, and sacrum because they all play a role in how you bear weight and move through everyday life.⁠
⁠
When a joint in this area becomes restricted or isn’t functioning the way we’d expect, you may start noticing things like low-back stiffness, discomfort around the hips or pelvis, or simply that your movement feels different from one side to the other.⁠
⁠
But in Gonstead, we don’t see those symptoms and automatically assume we know where the problem is.⁠
⁠
We assess. We look at the X-rays. We check how the joints are moving. And when the findings point us to a specific area, that’s the area we address.👏🏼⁠
⁠
If your low back or pelvis has been feeling “off,” don’t just assume it’s something you have to live with. Come in and let’s take a closer look. 💙⁠

Our job is to support it. 👏🏼

With Gonstead Chiropractic, we carefully analyze the spine to find specific areas of dysfunction called vertebral subluxations that may be interfering with normal nervous system function.

Your body was designed with an incredible ability to heal, adapt, and regulate itself. And your nervous system plays a major role in how your body does that.

When an adjustment is needed, it is precise and specific. The goal is not to “fix” your body. It is to correct the subluxation, restore spinal and nervous system function, and give your body the best opportunity to do what it was designed to do.

We don’t take credit for the healing.

Your body does that.

We simply work to remove interference and let the body do what it already knows how to do. 👏🏼

Pretty incredible when you think about it. 🤯💙

Why would you bring your child to a chiropractor if nothing hurts?⁠
⁠
Because we don’t have to wait for pain to start paying attention. 👏🏼⁠
⁠
Kids are constantly growing, and the way their bodies move is changing right along with them.⁠
⁠
A check gives us an opportunity to assess their spine and movement without assuming there’s a problem or that an adjustment is automatically needed.⁠
⁠
Growing is a big job. We just want to make sure their body is moving well through it. 💙⁠

Three years later, and this means just as much as the first. 🥹

We have officially been named a Best of Florida winner for the third consecutive year!

Gonstead Florida has always been about more than chiropractic. Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani built this practice around caring for people the way they would want their own family cared for, and watching that family grow year after year has been pretty incredible.

To now be recognized as a Best of Florida winner for the third consecutive year is something we’re incredibly proud of - but we know exactly who made it possible.

You did.

Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for supporting our family-owned practice. And thank you for continuing to choose Gonstead Florida. 👏🏼💙

So… what is that little tool we run down your spine at every visit? 👀

It’s called a Nervoscope, and it’s one of the five components of the Gonstead Method.

The Nervoscope has two temperature sensors that glide along opposite sides of your spine at the same time. It measures differences in skin temperature from side to side, with sensitivity to measure deep into the body. It’s a real time physiological measurement, that allows us the see if your body is stuck in a dysfunctional pattern or adaptive pattern.

Why does that matter? We look for a very specific reading that indicates there’s pressure and irritation to the nervous system at a specific level in the spine. Skin temperature is influenced by things like local blood flow and directly controlled and regulated by the nervous system. In Gonstead care, changes in the temperature pattern are used as one clue that an area deserves a closer look.

And this part is important: the Nervoscope does not diagnose a condition or independently tell us where to adjust.

That’s exactly why we don’t use it alone.

We cross-reference what we see on the scope with the other components of our Gonstead assessment before deciding whether an adjustment is needed.

It’s not a magic wand. 😉 it’s a measuring tool that gives us another piece of information about how well your body is functioning that day - and helps us find where the body is vulnerable to stress. When we find where the body is stress vulnerable and lacking adaptation, we can stay as specific as possible with your care, giving you the best results💙
