I love the knee chest table 🙌🏽
This adjustment alone is what made me want to fully focus on the Gonstead technique — the impact it had on my own low back and sciatica pain (from a high school football injury) was life-changing. 💥

Huge thanks to for introducing me to it and being my first Gonstead mentor and intern. 🙏🏽

🧠 The Big Idea
A spinal problem (subluxation) isn’t “just a bone out of place.”
It’s a communication problem between your brain and body.

When your spine moves wrong or gets stuck, it sends bad signals to your brain — kind of like static on a phone call. The result? Your brain starts to overreact, tightening muscles, changing how you move, and even affecting your mood or energy.



⚙️ How It Happens
1️⃣ A joint stops moving right — maybe from stress, injury, or poor posture.
2️⃣ The joint’s sensors get confused and send mixed messages to the brain.
3️⃣ The brain misreads those signals — leading to pain, tightness, poor balance, or tension.
4️⃣ Over time, your body adapts poorly and learns bad habits — keeping you stuck in pain.



💆🏽‍♂️ What the Adjustment Does
An adjustment resets the connection.
It restores motion, reactivates spinal sensors, and sends clear signals back to the brain.
That helps your body relax, heal, and move better — naturally.

It’s like rebooting your nervous system. 🔄



🧩 Why It’s About Neurology
Chiropractic isn’t just about bones — it’s about your brain-body connection.
• Spinal motion = healthy brain input
• Healthy brain input = better body output
• Better output = stronger, calmer, more balanced you



🌿 In Plain Talk:
When your spine moves wrong, your brain gets bad info.
When your brain gets bad info, it can’t run your body right.
When we adjust, the brain gets clear again — and your body finally starts to heal the way it’s supposed to.

💭 Thoughts, Traumas, & Toxins — The Hidden Triggers Behind Sciatica 💥

In chiropractic philosophy, we talk about the 3 T’s — Thoughts, Traumas, and Toxins — as the main causes of spinal misalignment and nerve irritation. When these build up, they can trigger pain patterns like sciatica ⚡

🧠 THOUGHTS (Emotional Stress) – Chronic stress tightens muscles and shifts posture, putting pressure on the lower spine.
💥 TRAUMAS (Physical Stress) – Lifting, sitting too long, or old injuries can misalign vertebrae and pinch the sciatic nerve.
☣️ TOXINS (Chemical Stress) – Poor diet or inflammation slows healing and worsens nerve irritation.

Chiropractic care helps your body adapt to these stressors — not just cover the pain.
When your spine is aligned and your nervous system flows freely, your body heals from the inside out. 🌿

🧩 Chiropractic & the Nervous System 🧩
Your spine protects the spinal cord — the communication highway between your brain and the rest of your body. When spinal joints become restricted or misaligned, they can interfere with nerve signals traveling through that system.

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper motion and alignment, reducing nerve interference and allowing your nervous system to function at its best. A healthier spine means clearer communication between your brain and body — leading to better performance, recovery, and overall wellness.

Why you should see a chiropractor for sciatica ? Sciatica can make even simple things like sitting, walking, or sleeping feel miserable — but it doesn’t have to stay that way. A chiropractor can realign your spine, take pressure off the sciatic nerve, and help your body finally relax and heal. If you’re ready to feel better and move without pain again, chiropractic care is a great place to start. 🙌💙

People often ask me, ‘Do I have to see a chiropractor forever?’ And the answer is no—just like you don’t have to brush your teeth forever. But just like dental care, ongoing chiropractic care has long-term benefits. It’s about maintaining your health, not just reacting to pain.

Burning, tingling, numbness, or pain that shoots down your leg like lightning — that’s sciatica. It’s not just back pain, it’s nerve pain with an attitude.

Heavy lifting, long hours driving, bad posture, or even sneezing wrong — all of these can irritate your sciatic nerve. It’s usually a disc or bone pressing right where it shouldn’t.

If you feel burning, numbness, or sharp pain shooting from your lower back down your leg, that’s your sciatic nerve getting compressed. It’s not just a “tight muscle” — it’s your body telling you something deeper is off in your spine or pelvis.
