Gonstead Technique
Beyond the eight years of chiropractic and college education required to become a Chiropractor, followed by national and state board licensing requirements to be a practicing Chiropractor, the Gonstead practitioner has spent additional time attending Gonstead Seminars to help perfect their application of chiropractic within the Gonstead System.
Shoulders, Wrists, Ankles, Knees
Dr. Pala is certified by the Gonstead Seminar of Chiropractic in the evaluation and treatment of extremities. This translates as pain or injuries involving the shoulders, wrists, knees, ankles, and feet. Sports Injuries incurred by athletes young and old are welcome patients in our facility.
Every patient is a unique case with specific injuries and must not be given the same course of manipulation. That type of approach could potentially harm individuals with too much impact to the joints of the spinal column and result in neurological insult. The Gonstead chiropractor believes that chiropractic care is not scientific unless the adjustment is specific.
Custom Orthotics
Dr. Pala uses an advanced weight bearing postural imaging process to evaluate your weight bearing posture. Computerized Measurements of each foot are taken which are used to create a prescription device which corrects pronation, supination, or plantar fascitis.

Care For Children
"Chiropractic care for my child? Why? His back doesn't hurt."
Parents who often appreciate the importance of checkups for their child's teeth, hearing,eyes, ears, nose and throat draw a blank when it comes to the spine. A spinal checkup could be one of the most important of your child's life! Why? In addition to the stress of childbirth, the constant jumping, falling, running and bumping of a normal childhood often cause vertebral subluxations, with serious health consequences if left uncorrected.
Today we find more parents bringing their children to doctors of chiropractic for spinal checkups. With a healthy spinal column, a child's body can better deal with the sore throats, ear infections, stomach-aches, fevers, measles, mumps and other problems that often make up young life.
