Dr. Kang focuses on the Gonstead System of Chiropractic, which emphasizes detailed examination, specific spinal analysis, and individualized care.

Why Would an Oakton Resident Choose a Fairfax Gonstead Chiropractor?

There are many chiropractic offices throughout Northern Virginia. However, patients who are specifically interested in the Gonstead System may choose to travel to a practice that focuses on this particular approach.

At NoVA Gonstead Chiropractic, we take time to evaluate the patient's history, symptoms, posture, movement, and relevant spinal and musculoskeletal findings before determining whether chiropractic care is appropriate.

A Gonstead examination may include:

• Detailed patient history
• Postural and structural evaluation
• Static palpation
• Motion palpation
• Instrument analysis
• Weight-bearing assessment
• Range-of-motion testing
• Orthopedic testing
• Neurological testing when clinically appropriate
• X-rays when clinically indicated

The findings are considered together to develop an individualized approach to care.

A Detailed Approach to Spinal Care

The Gonstead System places particular emphasis on specific analysis before an adjustment.

Rather than automatically adjusting the entire spine, the approach seeks to identify specific areas that demonstrate relevant examination findings.

For example, someone with lower back pain may also have relevant findings involving the pelvis, hips, posture, or movement patterns. Someone experiencing neck or shoulder discomfort may require evaluation of the cervical spine, upper back, posture, and related musculoskeletal structures.

A broader examination does not mean that every symptom originates in the spine. Instead, it allows the doctor to consider the different factors that may be relevant to an individual's condition.

Conditions We Commonly Evaluate

Oakton residents may seek a chiropractic evaluation for a variety of musculoskeletal concerns, including:

• Back and lower back pain
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Sciatica
• Disc-related problems
• Headaches associated with neck or musculoskeletal factors
• Shoulder and upper-back discomfort
• Hip pain
• Knee pain
• Foot and ankle problems
• Posture concerns
• Sports-related injuries
• Auto accident-related musculoskeletal injuries

Every patient is different, and the appropriate approach depends on the individual's history and examination findings.

Individualized Care and Patient Education

At NoVA Gonstead Chiropractic, we believe that patients should understand their condition and the reasoning behind their care.

Depending on your individual needs, care may include chiropractic adjustments along with recommendations regarding posture, movement, exercise, ergonomics, or activity modification.

The goal is not simply to address where you feel pain but to understand the relevant findings and develop an appropriate plan for your individual situation.
