Grostic Upper Cervical Therapy - Painless Treatment of Neck Pain at Campbell Wellness Center
What is Grostic? Grostic is a specialty within the chiropractic field that utilizes prelise instrument adjustments for a gentle and painless correction. The correction is mathematically calculated for each patient, according to the misalignment of his or her spine. This specific adjustment is designed to remove interference from the spinal cord and restore body balance. How is my Grostic misalignment calculated? Once body imbalance has been determined, 3 x-rays are taken of the neck for a 3- dimensional view of the spine. The x-rays are precisely analyzed, mathematically, to calculate the formula for the spinal correction, by determining the number of degrees your bones are rotated or tilted. On your initial visit, we will also take 2 x rays after you are adjusted, to determine the correction accurately. Why is it that I have never heard of Grostic? Of the thousands of chiropractors that are in the United States , only a few doctors are certified to perform Grostic. Students pursuing this technique have more difficult and specialized classes. Since it is a specialty within the chiropractic field, the chiropractor undergoes another certification after graduating from a chiropractic college. What does an Grostic adjustment feel like? The correction is veiy gentle. In fact, our technicpie is so gentle we can adjust a baby who is only weeks old, as well as people who have had surgery or trauma to their spine. We use a specialized instrument that feels like a soft tap just behind the ear. There is no twisting, jerking, or popping with our technique. How can an adjustment in my neck help my mid/lower back, arm/hand pain, or sciatica? An imbalance in the first vertebra, the atlas, can cause other bones to shift throughout the spine. Most people’s problems stem from the first two vertebra in he neck, according to Dr. BJ. Palmer, the developer of chiropractic. By precisely moving this bone to the correct position, an Grostic correction can cause other bones to shift to their proper position, relieving pressure in all parts ofthe spine and restoring the entire body to a balanced position. tithe patient does not respond to an Grostic correction, the doctor will use other methods of treatment or refer the patient to the proper specialist. What can I expect after my 1st Grostic correction? The Grostic chiropractor will closely monitor you for a few weeks to ensure your progress has been successful. This intensive care program is designed to the patient hold their adjustment for longer periods of time after each visit. When a patient’s stabilization period is reached, normally after 6-8 visits, the patient is released to a maintenance care program, which involves the patient only visiting the chiropractor when he or she feels the need. During that time, most patients, depending on their condition, need adjustments only 4-5 times per year. Some of the changes are possible during the stabilization period are:
What is body balance? To understand body balance, you must understand what body imbalance is. If the spine is off-balance, it can hinder the transmissions of the nervous system. This controls all of your body’s functions that can contribute to all kinds of symptoms.
We determine body imbalance when there is:
