What is structural chiropractic in Burnaby?

Did you know that there are over 100 different types of chiropractic techniques used around the world? Many of these chiropractic techniques focus on providing symptom relief and management for patients by temporarily reducing their pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms or tension. This is an excellent way to find quick relief, but fails to address the underlying conditions causing those symptoms. At Adapt Spine Centre, we utilize the Gonstead System which is a form of Structural chiropractic that focuses on correcting the Structural Shift, which helps the spine and nerves regain its normal structure and function. Let’s take a closer look at what Structural chiropractic and the Gonstead System is, and how it could benefit you.

The Foundation

Think of the spine as the foundation for your body, like a foundation is for a building. When the foundation is no longer level, this will lead to ongoing repairs to the walls, floors, doors, and windows. Eventually, the unlevel foundation will need to be completely redone, which will be expensive and time-consuming. Instead of doing temporary, ongoing repairs, wouldn’t it be better to address the cause of these repairs from the start? Indeed, this same mindset can be applied to your spine health too. 

Structural Chiropractic

Structural chiropractic takes a different approach to health and wellness by identifying and treating Structural dysfunctions. At Adapt Spine Centre in Burnaby, we use the 5-step Gonstead System to identify a Structural dysfunction is when the spine’s discs shift from their normal position, which negatively affects the rest of the body. This results in various symptoms or secondary conditions, including:

• Anxiety

• Back pain

• Decreased sports performance

• Depression

• Dizziness

• Headaches

• Hip pain

• Joint stiffness and pain

• Lack of focus

• Low energy levels

• Neck pain

• Sleep issues

• Stress

At Adapt Spine Centre, our chiropractors identify and treat the underlying Structural dysfunctions through our Gonstead System analysis. In turn, this allows the body to achieve a better state of function and healing. As a result, patients can enjoy a long-term reduction in their symptoms, which means less time and money being invested into temporarily treating symptoms with traditional chiropractic care. Indeed, Structural chiropractic helps patients obtain lasting health and wellness for their whole bodies. Additionally, after a patient’s spine function has been restored back to normal, the chiropractor will provide support and guidance on how to maintain the patient’s spine health.
