What’s the Difference Between Structural Chiropractic Care and Conventional Chiropractic Care?

Most chiropractors you’ll find on your typical Google search are conventional chiropractors. They focus on reducing pain, inflammation, muscle spasms and increasing range of motion in joints.

They manage these health concerns with the use of general manipulations of the neck and spine. This is what most chiropractors offer in the way of care, and we believe that most of them do a great job.

As a Specific Structural Corrective Chiropractor, Dr. Gessert is dedicated to diagnosing and correcting the underlying cause of your condition. Through a comprehensive examination consisting of four tests, problem areas called Segmental Displacements are found and connected as the cause of your secondary conditions.

Through this examination process Dr. Gessert creates an individualized plan to correct these displacements of the spine which cause a myriad of secondary conditions (symptoms).  It is very common to find the cause of neck pain, back pain, sciatica, numbness and tingling and even headaches as a structural problem in the spine.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

1. Improved Function: When your car is out of alignment, performance will suffer.  The vehicle will not handle properly and thus it will not perform optimally.  Our body is the same way. When our structure is displaced (out of balance), our body will not function at its optimal level.   When our body is not functioning optimally, we may experience one or more secondary conditions or symptoms like headaches, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, or pain in the extremities.
2. Improved Mobility and Flexibility: Consistent chiropractic adjustments can enhance joint mobility and flexibility. By addressing restrictions in the spine and other joints, you’ll experience an increased range of motion, allowing for better flexibility and improved overall mobility.
