What makes us so special?

Chiropractic has come a long way since David D.Palmer gave his first adjustment in September 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. Today, there are many methods used by chiropractors to correct spinal misalignments, joint dysfunctions and subluxation complexes. Many techniques are identified by the name of the person who was most instrumental in their development. Interestingly enough, one of the most advanced and scientific methods is a technique called:

The Gonstead System

Gonstead procedures are the result of extensive clinical research by Clarence S.Gonstead, founder of the world famous Gonstead Clinic of Chiropractic in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin and his associates. Doctor Gonstead’s fifty-five years of continuous practice and over four million chiropractic adjustments resulted in the most complete method of biomechanical analysis available for use by today’s doctors of chiropractic. So why don’t all chiropractors use this technique? Because the analysis takes more time and mastering the art of delivering a specific adjustment takes a LOT of practice and dedication.

The “Gonstead Chiropractor”

The Gonstead Chiropractor goes beyond what many chiropractors consider a spinal assessment by conducting a thorough analysis of your spine using five criteria to detect the presence of the vertebral subluxation complex.

• Visualization

• Instrumentation

• Static Palpation

• Motion Palpation

• X-Ray Analysis

Visualization is a way to cross reference all the other findings.

Your chiropractor is an expert in looking for subtle changes in your posture and movement which could indicate any problems.

After a complete analysis, the Caulfield Gonstead chiropractor is ready to deliver any necessary adjustments. The focus of the Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas (areas of subluxation). Great care is taken to ensure a bio-mechanically correct position and precise thrust to provide the most accurate and painless adjustment possible. It is the goal of your Gonstead doctor to restore and maintain optimal health by locating and correcting any interference to the nervous system caused by vertebral subluxation.

Try to find times during the day to get your spine in line with chiropractic in Melbourne where you can focus on your posture and get your spine in line with chiropractic. Tie your triggers into the things that you do most often, each and every day.

Here are some examples to get your spinein line with chiropractic in melbourne;

• Standing at the fridge to get a drink? Double check your feet and make sure they are correctly positioned. Take a couple deep breaths.

• Sitting down for the first time at your desk? Check to see if you’re leaning to far forward with your head and neck.

• At a red light while driving? -Pull your shoulders back and square them up instead of keeping them rounded. Your ears should be directly in line with the center of your shoulders.

• Standing in line at the rental car counter? Practice your squatting position while you’re staring at your phone scrolling through Facebook (don’t worry about the people who look at you funny).

What other triggers can you come up with to get your back in line with chiropractic?

It may take weeks, months or even years of doing this to get your spine in line with chiropractic in Melbourne and to a better default but after a while you won’t even be able to remember how you used to stand and sit.

Keep at it.

Knee pain or knee injuries are extremely common, and there are many causes. The knee needs to function properly to provide flexible mobility while bearing considerable weight. While walking down the street, our knees bear three to five times our body weight. Many jobs, sports and recreation activities, getting older, or having a disease such as osteoporosis or arthritis increase the chances of having a knee problem.

Sudden (acute) injuries may be caused by a direct blow to the knee or from abnormal twisting, bending the knee or falling on the knee.

Overuse injuries occur with repetitive activities or repeated or prolonged pressure on the knee. Activities such as stair climbing, bicycle riding, jogging, or jumping stress joints and other tissues and can lead to irritation and inflammation.

It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your knee pain or injury so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause. Our approach of assessing and treating the knee includes the evaluation of the other joints and muscles relating to the knee. This is for several reasons:

• Firstly, pain can be referred from other structures in the low back, pelvis and hip into the knee, in certain conditions.

• Secondly, if other joints in the lower limb are not working correctly they can put increased stress on the knee joint, resulting in injury over time. Therefore to resolve the knee pain chiropractors may also treat other areas, to maximise long-term improvement.

Your Chiropractor will discuss the injury with you and estimate the time it will take to recover. Chiropractic care for patients with this condition is vital to hasten the healing process, ensure an optimal outcome and reduce the likelihood of injury recurrence.

Chiropractic treatment of knee pain

We would normally modify the treatment to suit each patient and their specific conditions. So the type of treatment that is most appropriate for one person is not necessarily right for another.

• Reduce joint inflammation and reduce pain

• Avoidance of aggravating factors, use of a support, sports tape

• Ice to reduce inflammation, muscle spasm and pain

• Soft tissue healing: Myotherapy, Physiotherapy and Massage

• Normalise joint function

• Specific chiropractic adjusting techniques to areas of restricted movement in the knee and surrounding joints, to increase movement, improve the function and reduce pain as well as adjustments to the lower back & pelvis

• Deep soft tissue massage, trigger-point therapy and cross-friction

• Rehabilitation exercise program

• When appropriate we introduce exercises to improve strength, endurance and stability. We also work on improving your balance and your sense of joint position (proprioception). This will help you to return to normal and also prevent new injuries.

A Child that has a headache is not meant to be a normal occurrence, unfortunately we are seeing more and more children suffering headaches. This Case Study was performed at Caulfield Family Chiropractic and here are the finding.

A 9 year old child presented to his scheduled monthly appointment with complaints of headaches and dizziness. The day prior he had fallen backwards and the base of his skull on a concrete floor. Immediately afterwards he became dizzy and unable to walk without assistance. He was taken to hospital and later discharged, diagnosed with ‘mild concussion’.

On the day that the patient presented, he was able to walk but was still suffering from low energy, dizziness and headache.

Physical examination revealed no red flag or neurological symptoms. Palpation revealed a very tender and restricted left occiput. This particular patient always makes a fuss about his neck being adjusted but was happy to proceed at the time without complaint due to his symptoms.

Immediately after the adjustment the patient yelled aloud “THAT FELT AMAZING”, and stated that he had a near immediate relief of symptoms.

Cases like this highlight two things; 1) that early intervention generally results in rapid results and 2) that children generally ‘bounce back’ quickly, especially compared to adults. Imagine what may have happened if that neck was left uncorrected.

It’s that time of year again when everyone is setting out New Year’s Resolutions and unfortunately it won’t be long till a majority of people start breaking them.

There are many reasons why New Year Resolutions don’t stick- they may be unrealistic, there is a lack of self-discipline or life gets “too busy”.

Caulfield Family Chiropractic’s™ New Year resolution is all about you and what we can do to make 2019 a healthy and pain-free year for you. Our goal at Caulfield Family Chiropractic™ not only to maintain but also to improve the high standard of care you’ve experienced with us.

As part of our resolution at Caulfield Family Chiropractic™ we are going to teach you how to live a healthy, pain-free life. Your success is ours, and we are committed to your health and well-being.

In many cases there is more than one factor contributing to your pain, especially if it is recurrent or has been there for a long time. Often getting rid of your pain is the easy part. Stopping it from coming back is the real challenge.

At Caulfield Family Chiropractic™ we provide you with lasting freedom from pain, so your treatment program will include specific techniques and exercises that correct the underlying cause of your problems, not just give you temporary relief.

Chiropractic care is valuable for you, and is valuable for your children. Kids are natural explorers – they run, jump, climb things, fall down, and bounce around. Kids are resilient – this ability to recover quickly is one of the great benefits of being very young. Occasionally, one of these activity-related injuries impacts a child’s spine. Nothing obvious has happened and nothing hurts. But there may be subtle injuries to spinal muscles and spinal ligaments that have a long-term effect on spinal nerve function.

Chiropractors are the spinal health professionals to see. Helping to restore proper spinal biomechanics and improved nervous system function begins with a patient’s case history.

After reviewing your history and discussing your specific problem, a thorough orthopaedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination is performed. X-rays may be taken to uncover structural and functioning problems associated with the spinal column. These examinations help identify areas of spinal malfunction and resulting nervous system deficit. The findings of these examinations are explained and a plan of chiropractic adjustments may be recommended. Progress is monitored with periodical examinations and follow-up reports.

The New You

Chiropractic uses scientific methods for the relief of pain, spinal misalignment and nerve irritation. It is also effective in addressing many back pain issues. If prevention sounds like a better idea, chiropractic also helps to keep your body functioning at its best.

Now it’s your turn to make 2019 a healthy and pain-free year!
