The Ultimate Pit Class

By: Charles Martin, DC

 The Gonstead Meeting of the Minds-VI on October 10 & 11, 2009 will introduce the new Ultimate Pit Class. In this session, each doctor will have the opportunity to receive direct input from as many as 50 very skilled Gonstead chiropractors. It has long been understood that each doctor can accomplish a complete specific vertebral subluxation correction in spite of the differences between a doctor’s individual body build or type. Doctors who appreciate the power of spinal corrections are aware that each of us has room to improve our ability to correct  subluxations, that we can learn from other's input, and focus our concentration on the correction.
     The Gonstead Ultimate Pit Class will provide this  opportunity to the advanced Gonstead doctor. One of the ways we will help sharpen this focus, is to display dozens of interesting cases that have been managed by attendees who are Fellows, Diplomates or long-time   experienced Gonstead practitioners. The cases will be presented, followed by discussions on how they should or should not be approached and ultimately how they were corrected. If you have any interesting or unusual cases you want to "pass around," please email digital photos of them to bakview@juno.com. Include a brief description about the treatment and solution or attempted solution, and what you learned or what might be learned in this case.

     These x-rays are an example of what you will see at the Pit Class. Here L4, L3 and L2 are bracketed to L5 and  was corrected on the knee chest with a double thenar to help move the entire bracketed surgical assembly up onto the lumbosacral disc.

Severe left leg pain diminished from a VAS 10 to VAS 2 intermittently. Unfortunately, because of the surgically altered biomechanics, the patient's symptoms return from time to time. The same  patient had surgical electrodes placed on the sciatic nerve after the failed lower back surgery, which also failed  after the strong post-surgical medications were withdrawn.
