Testimonials:
"I have been corrected! For nearly five years I have been suffering from a “blocked” ear and sinus problem. I have seen three ENTs and two allergists. I have had sinus surgery, allergy shots, nasal sprays; all to address my sinus infections and constant post-nasal drip. About three years ago, I started to get a terrible pressure feeling in my right ear. I started to get low frequency hearing loss in that ear. Sounds like tapping or clicking were very painful. I had MRIs, Nasal Scopes, Cat Scans, X-Rays, rounds of Prednisone, antibiotics, you name it – nothing was found. I was thus diagnosed with Estuation Tube Dysfunction for which “nothing can be done.” I was told that repeatedly over the years, and yet the pressure/pain /discomfort worsened. One ENT told me to consider experimental surgery to fix my ear, or to try sniffing pool water! I was so desperate I actually tried the pool water theory – didn’t work. I was terribly frustrated until I met Dr. Carla LeClerc at my gym. She convinced me to come to the office and get checked out. I had an assessment done by Dr. Dave saying he could help. Thought what he said made great sense. I was skeptical. But now, two months later, my ear issue is nearly gone! I don’t have the pain, my hearing has improved, the mucus drip is gone, and I only have occasional feeling of pressure! This experience has been excellent, thanks to Drs. Dave and Carla.."

The
Gonstead Technique
 Dr.
Clarence S. Gonstead (1898-1978), known as the "miracle man",
began practicing chiropractic in 1923 in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, a small
farming community of 1,200 residents in south central Wisconsin. Dr. Gonstead's
reputation spread throughout the state, the country and ultimately around
the world, as a multitude of patient's health problems were corrected
remarkably fast by his brand of chiropractic treatment. Hundreds of patients
were seeking his care on a daily basis, and with his dedication to helping
these patients, Dr. Gonstead worked from 8 a.m. to midnight six days a
week plus every Sunday morning from 5 to 10 a.m. to be able to accommodate
these growing patient numbers. When Dr. Gonstead's schedule was at the
limit of his physical capability, he knew the only solution to meet the
public's health needs on the scale the public was demanding, was to build
an unparalleled chiropractic treatment facility and staff it with Gonstead
trained associates.
A Unique Approach
His concept of adjusting the spine only if and when there
is a fixation, has not been universally accepted. Gonstead stated in the
1940's, "Therein lies the uniqueness of my work - The Gonstead Technique
has a specific application on the affected segment or segments only."
His approach is often summarized by the phrase he coined, “Find
the subluxation, accept it where you find it, correct it and leave it
alone”. The common sense, evident in his work, is further summarized
in another phrase that he often used: "If it ain't broke, don't fix
it."
Safety First (Above All, Do No Harm)
He taught that rotation or twisting of the spine during
the chiropractic adjustment was harmful to the patient. Current Chiropractic
research links twisting of the spine to accelerated degeneration of the
disc, located between the spinal bones. The twisting motion associated
with crude methods of "manipulating" the neck or cervical spine
has also been implicated as the major factor in the rare incidence of
stroke associated with chiropractic "treatment". This tragic
occurrence, occasionally reported in scientific literature and in the
media, has diverted attention away from the enormous benefits of properly
administered chiropractic care.
Using the Gonstead Technique, adjustment of the neck is
done with a very specific maneuver that is completed with the patient
seated. The neck is adjusted in this manner to eliminate the twisting
or rotation aspect of the adjusting procedure. The Gonstead Technique
is recognized throughout the global chiropractic community as one of the
safest systems of evaluating and caring for conditions related to the
spine.
Corrective Care Chiropractic Doctors
Our Gonstead Doctors set the standard in Chiropractic for
patient examination and care. Examination of the patient includes complete
patient history, static palpation, motion palpation, instrumentation of
the spinal column,and x-ray analysis. When all this information is combined,
our trained Gonstead Doctors will immediately let you know if your health
situation is a Chiropractic case.
If it is not, a referral to the appropriate health provider
will be given. If your case is a Chiropractic case, you can be certain
that we will utilize the dynamics of the effectual Gonstead Specific Adjustment
to get you back to optimal health as quickly as possible.
