- The pain

Pain is but a means of communication ‚ the body bringing to your conscious awareness that there is a problem needing protection and correction.

Whether your symptom appears to have occurred as a result of an injury or not, we find that symptoms associated with a subluxation can occur at the time of the injury or any time thereafter. even years later. This occurs because subluxations are often 'silent' until a particular action or activity increases swelling around them. Therefore, sufferers have often forgotten the original injury and thus report not doing anything to cause their problem.

A specific Gonstead adjustment restores function and subsequently allows the body to remove the sources of pain (inflammation). This process does not cause pain. it relieves it. Adjusting the segment involved towards its neutral position will take the pressure off and allow for the swelling to come down. See correction vs. manipulation.
