What's the difference between MD's and DC's?
Chiropractors and medical doctors differ primarily in their training, treatment approaches, and scope of practice, with chiropractors focusing on musculoskeletal health and medical doctors addressing a broader range of medical conditions.
*Training and Education
Chiropractors: They earn a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree, which typically requires a minimum of 4,200 hours of combined classroom, laboratory, and clinical instruction. Their education emphasizes anatomy, physiology, and manipulative techniques, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders.
Chiropractors do not attend medical school and are not required to complete a residency program, although they can pursue post-graduate training in specialized areas.
Medical Doctors: Medical doctors (M.D.s) or Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.s) complete a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, which also requires a four-year undergraduate degree followed by a four-year medical program. Afterward, they must complete a residency program lasting between three to seven years, depending on their specialty.

*Scope of Practice
Chiropractors: They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Their treatment methods often include manual adjustments, physical therapy, and lifestyle counseling. Chiropractors are generally not authorized to prescribe medications, although they can recommend certain natural supplements and over-the-counter medications in some states.
Medical Doctors: M.D.s and D.O.s are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions, including acute and chronic diseases. They can prescribe medications, perform surgeries, and provide comprehensive medical care across various specialties, such as pediatrics, cardiology, and surgery.

Here at Specht Brothers we use a ECS (Electrical Conductance Scanner) every visit!
How it works;
The ECS measures galvanic skin response (GSR), which reflects changes in sweat gland activity, oil gland output, and blood vessel dilation/constriction. These responses are linked to sympathetic nerve activity and are segmentally innervated, meaning each area of the skin and underlying tissues is connected to a specific spinal segment.
By scanning the supraspinally (over the shoulder) and paraspinally (along the spine) areas, the ECS can identify increased sympathetic nerve activity at specific vertebral levels. This is interpreted as a sign of nerve irritation or dysfunction caused by vertebral misalignment.
Why it’s used
Objective measurement: Provides quantifiable data to support chiropractic diagnosis, helping to move beyond subjective “feel” assessments.
Segmental analysis: Can pinpoint the exact spinal level where nerve activity is abnormal.
Outcome tracking: Allows chiropractors to measure changes before and after adjustments, supporting claims of treatment efficacy

11 facts about chiropractic
1. The word “chiropractic” literally means “done by hand” The term chiropractic comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praktos (done). While modern chiropractic care includes advanced assessments and therapies, hands-on treatment remains a foundational part of the profession.
2. Chiropractic care began with spinal health—not pain meds. The first chiropractic adjustment was performed in 1895 by D.D. Palmer. Since then, chiropractic has focused on restoring spinal movement and function rather than masking symptoms with medication.
3. Chiropractors receive extensive clinical training (over 4,200 hours of classroom, lab, and clinical training during their doctoral education. That includes anatomy, neurology, biomechanics, diagnosis, and hands-on patient care)
4. Chiropractic care supports millions of people every year. More than 35 million Americans—adults and children alike—receive chiropractic care annually, making it one of the most commonly used forms of conservative musculoskeletal care in the U.S.
5. Chiropractic care is practiced worldwide There are roughly 100,000 chiropractors practicing globally, with chiropractic recognized and regulated in nearly 50 countries. In the U.S., chiropractors are licensed in all 50 states.
6. Chiropractic care isn’t just for adults. Many people are surprised to learn that infants and children can also receive chiropractic care.
7. Athletes rely on chiropractic care for performance and recovery
All 32 NFL teams include chiropractors as part of their healthcare staff. Chiropractic care helps athletes address joint mobility, muscle tension, and movement efficiency—key components of performance and recovery.
8. Chiropractic adjustments happen every day—at a massive scale
Globally, more than one million chiropractic adjustments take place each day. That’s a testament to how widely chiropractic care is trusted for managing musculoskeletal discomfort and movement limitations.
9. Chiropractic care may reduce the likelihood of surgery
Research shows that injured workers are significantly less likely to require spinal surgery when chiropractic care is their first point of contact, compared to starting care with surgical intervention.
10. Chiropractic care can help manage repetitive strain conditions
Conditions like carpal tunnel pain, which are often linked to repetitive motion or posture-related strain, may benefit from chiropractic care that addresses spinal alignment, nerve function, and movement patterns—not just the wrist itself.
11. Chiropractic care is often more cost-effective
Studies have found that care for low back pain initiated by a chiropractor can cost up to 20% less than care that begins with a medical doctor—while still emphasizing conservative, movement-based treatment.

What is Gonstead Technique?
A precise method that uses detailed analysis, including X-rays, to locate misalignments. It emphasizes accuracy and is often applied to spinal adjustments to correct joint dysfunction.
Drs. Jason and Jared Specht are the only chiropractors in Abilene, Texas that practice the Gonstead technique!

07/20/2026

The Gonstead technique is a chiropractic method developed by Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead in the 1920s. It emphasizes precise analysis and specific adjustments to address spinal misalignments and related health issues. Key components of this technique include:

*Visualization: Observing the patient's posture and movements.
*Instrumentation: Using tools to measure spinal function.
*Palpation: Feeling the spine to identify misalignments.
*X-Ray: Analyzing spinal structure and alignment.
*Patient Symptoms: Considering the patient's reported issues.

The Gonstead technique is known for its holistic approach and is taught to many chiropractic students and practitioners worldwide.
It stands out among other chiropractic techniques due to its focus on the disc as the origin of subluxations and its detailed methodology for adjustments

Did you know?
Drs. Jason and Jared both attended Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA where their father was both a professor and had his own private practice for 30 years before retiring to Texas.
In 1897, Palmer founded the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, to teach his methods. His son, B.J. Palmer, later expanded and professionalized chiropractic, refining techniques and promoting the practice as a recognized healthcare profession. Early chiropractic drew parallels with osteopathy, emphasizing drugless, hands-on manipulation to improve health, but distinguished itself through specific spinal adjustment techniques and a focus on nervous system function.

Did you know?
Chiropractic was discovered in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer, who performed the first spinal adjustment to restore a patient’s hearing.
Early Discovery
Chiropractic began when Daniel David Palmer, a magnetic healer with a strong interest in anatomy, treated William Harvey Lillard, a partially deaf janitor, in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer noticed a misaligned vertebra in Lillard’s spine and performed a manual adjustment, after which Lillard reported improved hearing. This event is considered the first chiropractic adjustment and marked the beginning of the profession.
