📣 Parents in Germantown & Memphis — ever wondered why some chiropractic results last longer than others?
Here’s the truth: Not all chiropractic techniques are the same.
At our office, Dr. Reed Johnson exclusively uses the Gonstead technique — widely considered the gold standard for precision and lasting correction. It’s especially gentle and effective for kids because it focuses on fixing the exact problem… and leaving everything else alone.
Gonstead vs. Other Common Techniques (Quick Breakdown):
✅ Gonstead – Super-specific, hands-on adjustments using full-spine X-rays + 5-point analysis. Minimal twisting, targets one vertebra at a time. Best for disc issues, posture, colic, ear infections, and kids. Results often last longer because we only adjust what needs it.
✅ Diversified – Most common technique. Broader adjustments with more motion/twisting. Great for quick mobility but may need more visits.
✅ Activator – Gentle instrument that clicks — no manual thrust. Perfect for very sensitive patients or those who don’t want “cracking.”
✅ Thompson (Drop Table) – Uses a special table that gently drops to assist the adjustment. Very comfortable for lower back issues.
Why we chose Gonstead exclusively:
Extremely precise (especially for little spines)
Protects developing discs and nerves
Focuses on root cause, not just symptoms
Zero drugs, zero guesswork, maximum safety for children
Real families see the difference: better sleep, fewer ear infections, improved posture, happier kids — all from gentle, targeted care.
