Gonstead Method:
Gonstead chiropractors focus on analyzing the spine, emphasizing functions of the nervous system. The Gonstead method sets itself apart from other chiropractic methods in its use of x-rays and other diagnostic tools to help locate the source of your pain. Once we have identified the source of your pain, we can develop a customized treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your needs.
​
With the Gonstead method, we take a holistic approach to your health and wellness, which means that we look at you as a whole person, and not just the symptoms you are experiencing. A Gonstead spinal assessment analyzes the spine using five main criteria:
​
-
Visualization
-
Instrumentation
-
Static Palpation
-
Motion Palpation
-
X-ray Analysis


Diversified Method:
The term chiropractic came from the Greek “cheiros” and “praktikos” which together translates to “done by hand”.
Diversified technique is a manual hands-on adjustment technique that involves applying a quick but gentle specific force to a joint to restore normal movement.
It may not be appropriate for every person and “Dr. Izadi” will evaluate if this is the right technique to use for you.


Thompson Method:
The Thompson technique involves a spring-loaded table in which different parts of the table raise up 1/2 – 1″ and then drop down when a quick gentle pressure is applied at that area. Thompson is also known as “drop table” technique.
This is a fantastic adjustment for the pelvis and SI joints, and for that reason it is used a lot for our pregnant patients in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters during which time manual manipulation may not be as safe.
