What To Expect in Surrey BC

Chiropractic Surrey BC Consultation

Gonstead Spine Center in Surrey BC uses the Gonstead System, which is unique because it is thorough, complete, and specific in both analyzing and caring for the spine. We address your entire spine when evaluating for the presence of vertebral subluxations (spinal misalignments producing nerve interference or irritation) which cause ill health.


How We Accomplish This in Surrey BC

  • X-ray Analysis
    X-ray films enable visualization of the entire structure of your spine. This helps evaluate for any disease processes, fracture, posture, joint and disc integrity, and vertebral misalignments. Gonstead Spine Center now offers digital X-rays.
  • Exam
    Upon your first visit, Mark Prii D.C. will perform a comprehensive health history and a thorough spinal examination that includes neurological, chiropractic evaluation, and palpation.
  • Palpation
    Palpation is the process of feeling your spine to detect swelling, tenderness, and motion of the vertebra.
  • Instrumentation
    The preferred instrument used in the Gonstead System is the Nervoscope. The Nervoscope detects uneven distributions of heat along the spine which can be indicative of inflammation and nerve pressure. This instrument is guided down the length of your back and feels like two fingers gliding down each side of your spine.
  • The Gonstead Adjustment
    After a complete analysis, Mark Prii D.C. is ready to perform any necessary spinal adjustments. The focus of the Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise, and accurate as possible. Mark Prii D.C. utilizes his hands to reposition the misaligned vertebra which corrects this biomechanical problem. This allows for proper nerve function and restoration of optimal health. The adjustment is a gentle procedure.

Chiropractic is beneficial for musculoskeletal problems. Visceral problems including digestive disorders, migraines, and menstrual disorders can also be related to spinal nerve function and can often be helped through chiropractic care.

If you have a health problem that has not responded to traditional medical care, we may be able to help you!


Our Training

Education
All chiropractors must complete a rigorous and detailed education. After completing the necessary pre-med coursework, they begin a four-year program at an accredited college of chiropractic. The chiropractic curriculum includes detailed studies of anatomy, physiology, X-rays, clinical sciences, spinal biomechanics adjusting preventative health care, and many other related topics. By the time of graduation, the average chiropractor has completed 4,485 classroom hours, compared to 4,248 classroom hours completed by a medical doctor. Most chiropractic colleges have extracurricular Gonstead clubs, where aspiring students can spend time in addition to the standard coursework in studying and refining their skills needed to excel in the Gonstead System.

After graduation, chiropractors have many opportunities to further their education in the Gonstead System. The Gonstead Seminar is taught by renowned chiropractors who practice chiropractic consistent with the teachings of the late Clarence Gonstead. Through these seminars, chiropractors can earn advanced certification in the Gonstead System. In addition, this system has many researchers conducting ongoing studies to ensure that it is on the cutting edge.
