Discover Vida Chiropractic Care
At Vida Chiropractic in Chattanooga and Hixson, we are committed to providing each patient with the highest level of care. We use a comprehensive, five-point analysis to thoroughly assess your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan that best addresses your needs. Our practice incorporates the Gonstead Chiropractic method, a precise approach founded by Clarence S. Gonstead, who, after fifty-five years of continuous practice and over four million chiropractic adjustments, developed the most complete method of biomechanical analysis available today.
The “Gonstead Chiropractor” goes beyond what many chiropractors consider a standard spinal assessment by conducting a thorough analysis of your spine using five key criteria. This detailed evaluation helps detect the presence of the vertebral subluxation complex, ensuring that we identify the root cause of your issues. The Gonstead method focuses on supporting your spine and nervous system to promote optimal health and well-being.
While the analysis and the specific adjustments require time, practice, and dedication, we are committed to mastering this technique to ensure the best possible results for our patients. By combining the thoroughness of the Gonstead method with personalized care, we strive to help you achieve lasting health and wellness.

FAQ's
Chiropractors help restore proper nerve function by making targeted adjustments to the spine. When the spinal bones are misaligned, it can cause nerve function to become abnormal, either by being overactive or underactive. Chiropractors call these misalignments “subluxations.”
These subluxations can lead to a state of “dis-ease” in the body, which can contribute to various health issues. By correcting these misalignments with specific adjustments, chiropractors can help the body return to a state of balance and health, promoting overall well-being.
To assess whether chiropractic care will be effective, several key factors need to be considered:
- The patient’s age
- How far the condition has advanced
- The body’s natural ability to heal
- The chiropractor’s skill in analyzing and adjusting the spine
- The amount of time given for recovery
