Organic Dysfunction Chiropractic involves removal of irritation to spinal nerves.
These nerves are connected and control organ function. Irritation to these spinal
nerves result in the abnormal control of an organ (dysfunction) and can lead to
organ dysfunction and dis-ease.

Extremity Joint Dysfunction Every joint in your body moves mechanically in a number
of directions. Misalignments through traumatic events may lead to a decreased capacity
of these joints to move properly consequently overloading surrounding muscles and ligaments
resulting in many symptoms.

- 4. Assess every joint in every visit
-
The Gonstead method involves a number of different forms of assessment to determine
where the subluxation is and how much it has resolved. On each visit the same analytical
procedure is used to decide if the subluxation needs to be corrected. The assessment
must be made on the patient’s skin and not through clothes to be thorough and accurate.
