Our Services
It is of our utmost importance that Coast Chiropractic values a holistic approach to health, believing that the entire body and all of its parts, organs, and processes should be taken into consideration as a whole. We pride ourselves of full transparency and thorough explanations of your health issues and techniques, making you feel at ease in the office.
The brain and the nervous system control every muscle and organ in the body. Every single cell in your body is controlled and monitored by your nervous system and the slightest interference to this communication can cause health problems and dysfunction. When proper nerve function is restored, pain disappears, we can then teach the body and brain what it is like to remember a normal functioning, non-painful movement pattern and maximum health may be achieved.
In order for healing to occur, the spine and nerve system need to be working well enough for long enough, for the body and brain to change. That is why regular checks are recommended and the Gonstead Chiropractor will perform a complete and thorough assessment every time, ensuring the best and most appropriate chiropractic care.
Gonstead Chiropractic
As a Gonstead Chiropractor, Adele makes sure each visit to the clinic includes a thorough analysis of your body. Females will be asked to put on a gown and males to take their shirt off to allow Adele to see the spine and feel it directly, after all you wouldn’t expect a podiatrist to look at your feet with your shoes and socks on!
She listens carefully to your health history, and visualise your spine checking for subtle changes to your posture and movement. She then uses a Nervoscope on your skin to detect uneven distributions of heat along the spine indicative of inflammation and irritation to the nerves and blood supply in the spine. Then, will feel for swelling, tenderness or any abnormal texture or muscle tension, followed by feeling the movement of your spine to determine how each segment moves in different directions. Adele will then compare this to weight bearing x-rays of your spine before completing the chiropractic adjustments without twisting the spine as to allow the experience to be as comfortable as possible.
Adele prides herself on finding and correcting the cause of your problems, and she looks forward to looking after you and your family in her clinic.
**X-RAYS You will be asked to provide full spine weight bearing x-rays, so if you have any previous images from other chiropractors please inform us where they were taken or bring them in yourself. A referral can be organised to your closest radiology clinic if you do not have x-rays and Dr Adele has requested them after taking your full health history.
