Whether you need care to help with an injury or are looking to schedule yourself and your whole family for preventative health care, Linn-Mar Chiropractic specializes in care for children and adults of all ages.
As a Gonstead practitioner, we use five criteria to evaluate your spine, so we can treat you accurately. These five criteria include
- Visualization of the spine
- Instrumentation that measures temperature differences from one side of the spine to the other
- Static palpation
- Motion palpation
- X-ray analysis
The focus of the Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise and accurate as possible, addressing only your problem areas. It is the goal of Dr. Lynn to restore and maintain your optimal health by locating and correcting any interference to your nervous system caused by spinal misalignment, also known as subluxation.
Dr. Lynn, as a Gonstead chiropractor, is also well trained in the evaluation and adjustment of shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, knees, ankles, feet and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
During pregnancy a woman’s body changes dramatically, causing shifts in weight bearing and center of gravity which adds stress to the spine and pelvis. As the abdomen grows forward, it pulls the lower back with it.
The mid-back and shoulders then pull back to compensate and in turn the head and neck tilt forward. If minor spinal problems exist in the spin or pelvis prior to these changes, it will typically intensify during the course of pregnancy. This makes it vital for a woman to maintain the integrity of her spine before and throughout her pregnancy.
A properly aligned pelvis allows for sufficient space for the developing baby and a quicker and easier delivery. An optimally functioning mother, free of nerve interference, will contribute much to the health of her baby.
