Chiropractic techniques we use:
GONSTEAD
The legendary Dr. C. S. Gonstead “Miracle Man” of the Chiropractic profession. His Gonstead technique became the standard of chiropractic treatments everywhere. He was educated in mechanical engineering, Dr.Gonstead viewed the spine as a complicated engineering equation. He studied it every day to master a system to repair it. His studies of hundreds of spinal cases, his conversations with medical colleagues, and the innate understanding of the spine, allowed him to identify and correct subluxations no one else could.
Following in the steps of Dr. Gonstead, Fairfax Chiropractic Center has mastered his methods which give tremendous value.
The Gonstead System has an exact approach to each segment in a spinal column. The in depth overview shows instrumentation, motion palpation, digital palpation, visualization, x-ray followed by adjustments in the spine by our professionals at Fairfax Chiropractic Center!
We are trained in the Gonstead System. There is an exact equation to every decision that is made at Fairfax Chiropractic Center. This means that the ideas set by Dr. Gonstead are duplicated exactly here. We look forward to fixing your spine!

At Fairfax Chiropractic Center, we can provide the patient with a dietary program customized to the individual’s needs.
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy, although viewed as solely therapeutic, can be incorporated with traditional chiropractic care to increase the effectiveness of the procedure. Sure, you could get a massage at a neighborhood salon or spa and chances are it would feel amazing, nevertheless, the acute and persistent pain will return. This is because the masseuse is addressing the symptom and not the underlying cause of the pain. Conversely, therapeutic massages performed at Fairfax Chiropractic Center work in conjunction with spinal alignment to ensure a complete and healthy recovery. Therapeutic massages have shown to reduce recovery time and scarring in patients who recently had surgery.
