About

We have highly trained Gonstead Chiropractors whose expertise is getting to the root cause of your health problem.
Subluxation is the term used by Chiropractors to describe a joint misalignment in the body that irritates the surrounding nerve tissue. This term was first used in the late 1800’s by D.D. Palmer, the founder of Chiropractic. The medical explanation for ‘subluxation’ is a movement of a bone from its normal location, prior to dislocation. Palmer’s explanation included the existence of nerve irritation when the joint surfaces became misaligned. Joint surfaces can misalign usually in response to trauma, stress and chemical imbalances. These subluxations are often the cause of spinal and joint pain, along with a wide variety of associated symptoms. Chiropractors are trained to detect and correct subluxations of the spine and peripheral joints. At NFCC, Chiropractors are trained in the Gonstead technique and use a six-point analysis system in an attempt to specifically locate your subluxation/s. A subluxation is removed from the spine by a specific adjustment done by hand, and it will usually take several adjustments to correct the problem.
