Gonstead Chiropractic restores health after 40 year old sports injury This is one patients story of being severely injured in 1976. After finding a Gonstead doctor he is now pain free after suffering intense pain for 40 years. This patient was suffering from a sports injury he sustained 40 years ago. He got his injury on a basketball court while going for a layup. His feet were taken out from under him causing him to fall on his head shoulder neck and hips, pretty much his whole left side.

Later that evening he felt like he had a charley horse in his neck. As a result he had to hold his head in a certain position just to reduce the pain.

If you told me to go stand against a measure on the wall or something I probably would not give you the true height.

Can I get you to turn around 90 degrees so I can see what your posture is like?

You can clearly see how he’s leaning to his left side and his posture is affected as a result.

It’s like my state would probably be something like this.

So when you were in that position you feel like you’re straight, yes? Well, I can see you’re trying. This has been a struggle for you since 1976 and worse at times and then others.

After receiving his first treatment on day one he stated he was able to sleep without having to fold his pillows to help prop up his neck.

A bit amazed at the fact that when I would go to sleep on a normal night I’ve always stacked my pillows so that it’s like a bolster and in the curve of my neck and after you’re having done that first application I didn’t have to do that.

I was able to sleep with pillows flat on top of each other and I thought whatever you did, whatever application you did the first time certainly made the difference in my sleeping habits. I didn’t find myself doing those things I had done before and I found that a bit amazing as to your treatment.


I told my family I said I’ve met this doctor I told him how I came about and I said the good Lord directed me in here.

He has also happily reported hearing and feeling less friction in his neck when moving it around. By his third visit the patient was showing significant progress, more movement was partially restored and he reported less pain in those areas.

By implementing the Gonstead procedures and focusing on different areas gradual improvements are progressing and the patient’s posture keeps showing positive results with each treatment.

I hope this comes up on camera because I can certainly see it that his torso is much straighter than it was and I’m gonna actually show you this for yourself.

Repeating certain procedures reinforces the improvements made from the patient’s visits and allow to further improve the patient’s overall condition.

Change this part here and get that moved underneath if you’d look at his spine from here to there it’s not straight but it’s not too far from straight so that’s pretty amazing.

So I’m gonna work here in here and have seen you a little bit using this procedure and applying other methods of treatment enables the patient to achieve more than 90 percent of his posture and by the end of his 15th visit. The difference in his stance alone is remarkable.
