This is a longtime patient of mine, Rachel, and her sweet little baby girl, Honey.

Before we started filming, I actually adjusted Honey while she was lying on top of her mom. Honey has a little separation anxiety and doesn’t like being away from Mom for more than a second. Usually, she puts up quite a fuss when it’s time for an adjustment!

But today, we tried something different. I let her stay right on top of Rachel while I adjusted her, and she did just fine. In fact, she was so comfortable there that I didn’t dare move her.

So, for the first time in 23 years of practice, I adjusted a mom with her baby lying right on her back! 😂

I was able to carefully sneak my hand underneath Honey, make contact at T12, and adjust Rachel—all without Honey complaining one bit.

Sometimes you just have to improvise! And as long as Honey got to stay close to Mom, she was perfectly happy. ❤️

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION ISN’T JUST ABOUT LYING ON A TABLE FOR 15 MINUTES.

A lot of people think spinal decompression works like this:

You come in.
You get strapped onto a decompression table.
The table gently stretches and decompresses the spine.
Then you go home.

But at Gonstead Spine & Wellness, we take a much more comprehensive approach.

The decompression table is only one part of the process.

Depending on the patient and what’s actually going on with their spine, their care may also include specific functional movement exercises designed to support the cervical or lumbar spine, chiropractic adjustments, and shockwave therapy as part of the overall rehabilitation process.

Why?

Because no two disc problems are exactly the same.

Someone dealing with an acute disc herniation and someone dealing with a degenerative, thinning disc may have very different circumstances — which is why we don’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach.

We look at YOUR spine, YOUR condition, and YOUR specific needs and build the protocol around you.

So while decompression can be an important tool, our goal isn’t simply to put you on a table.

It’s to address the bigger picture and give your body the support it needs throughout the rehabilitation process.

Because when it comes to your health and your family…

If you’ve ever called Gonstead Spine & Wellness, chances are you’ve talked to Jessica — and you already know exactly what we mean when we say this woman brings the ENERGY! 😂🙌

Jessica runs our front desk, but she does so much more than answer phones and keep things moving. She brings an incredible amount of life, laughter, and positive energy into our office every single day.

And that smile of hers? 😁

You can literally FEEL IT THROUGH THE PHONE when she answers! 📞❤️

Jessica is also hands-down one of the funniest people in the office. She constantly has our entire staff cracking up, and it’s pretty common to hear our patients laughing right along with her.

She has a special way of making people feel welcome, comfortable, and like they’re part of the GSW family from the moment they walk through the door.

Jessica, we want you to know how much WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU! ❤️

Your personality, your energy, your humor, and the way you care about our patients make you an incredible asset to Gonstead Spine & Wellness.

🚨 YOUR X-RAYS MAY NOT BE TELLING THE WHOLE STORY.

If you’re dealing with ongoing neck pain, headaches, dizziness, whiplash, or symptoms after a car accident or injury, a traditional X-ray captures only a still image.

But what happens when your spine actually MOVES?

That’s where Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) comes in.

DMX allows us to evaluate the spine in motion and in real time as you bend, turn, and move through different positions.

This technology can be especially helpful for people dealing with:

👉 Whiplash or auto accident injuries
👉 Chronic or unexplained neck pain
👉 Sports-related injuries
👉 Headaches or dizziness
👉 Lingering symptoms after an injury
👉 Concerns that may not be apparent on a traditional static X-ray

⭐ And Gonstead Spine & Wellness is the ONLY clinic in Idaho offering this DMX technology.

If you’ve been searching for answers and want to take a closer look at how your spine is actually moving, this may be the next step.

📲 Call today to see if you qualify for a DMX Exam.

What happens when the upper part of your neck LOOKS normal at rest… but becomes unstable when you move?

One of the most revealing tests we do in our office for upper cervical instability is a Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX), which includes looking at how the C1 and C2 vertebrae align when tilting the head.

In this video, you can see the difference between an unstable C1–C2 and a stable C1–C2.

That’s one of the things that makes DMX so valuable.

A traditional X-ray gives us a still image. DMX allows us to evaluate the spine while it is actually moving, which can help reveal abnormal motion and ligament instability that may not be apparent on a static image. This can be especially important following trauma such as an automobile accident or sports injury.

And Gonstead Spine & Wellness is currently the only clinic in Idaho offering Digital Motion X-Ray technology.

🚗 AUTO INJURIES
🏗️ WORK INJURIES
🏈 SPORTS INJURIES

When someone has been injured, our goal isn’t simply to ask, “Where does it hurt?”

We want to understand what was injured, how the spine is functioning, and what needs to be addressed.

That brings us to what we call The GSW Difference.

We pride ourselves on being extremely thorough with our examination, imaging when clinically appropriate, spinal analysis, and individualized treatment recommendations.

Our approach combines the Gonstead method, with Chiropractic Biophysics, and advanced imaging and other forms of corrective and rehabilitative care based on the patient’s individual findings.

And perhaps one of the best descriptions of that experience came from one of our patients and former Super Bowl XVI Champion George Visger:

“Without a doubt, this clinic does the greatest, finest, most complete, thorough treatment and evaluation I’ve ever been through.”

This coming from a man who has had 15 Orthopedic and Neurological surgeries and has been through every medical exam you can imagine.

If you’ve been dealing with lingering problems following a car accident, workplace injury, sports injury, whiplash or other trauma, there may be more going on than what can be seen on a traditional static image.

Curious about the tool you’re seeing in Dr. Todd’s latest video?

He’s demonstrating the L-SPA, a specialized adjusting instrument developed by Dr. Pete Lope within the chiropractic biophysics system.

It’s designed to help deliver precise, controlled adjustments, often in the neck, to address restricted motion and support alignment.

At Gonstead Spine and Wellness, we match the tools and methods to your specific needs.

Watch the video to see the L-SPA in action, and if you’re dealing with neck pain, headaches, or posture issues, reach out. We’d love to help figure out what’s driving your symptoms and the best method moving forward!

🏢 WHAT IF YOU COULD HELP YOUR EMPLOYEES FEEL BETTER… RIGHT AT WORK?

Think about how much of the day your team spends sitting at a desk, standing in one position, bending, lifting, driving or staring at a computer.

Over time, those everyday activities can take a toll.

That’s exactly why Dr. Todd Pickman created MoveWell In The Workplace™ — a fun, practical workplace wellness program designed to teach employees how to sit better, stand better, lift better and MOVE better.

During a MoveWell event, we bring health and movement education directly to YOUR workplace and show your team simple strategies they can begin using immediately.

✅ Learn how everyday posture and movement affect the body
✅ Discover the “Killer 3” — Sitting, Standing & Lifting and what they are actually doing to your body
✅ Learn simple ways to improve movement throughout the workday
✅ Help address the fatigue, aches and stiffness that can come with the workplace
✅ Give your employees practical tools they can actually USE

Because healthier employees aren’t just happier employees — helping people move and function better can also support morale, productivity and fewer workdays disrupted by musculoskeletal problems.

And the best part?

We come to YOU! 🙌

Whether you have an office full of people sitting behind computers or a team that’s on its feet and moving all day, we’d love to bring a MoveWell In The Workplace event to your company.

At one of our Dinner with the Docs events, something happened none of us expected.

Super Bowl XVI champion George Visger stood up and asked to say a few words.

He’s been through fifteen neurological surgeries and has seen more of the medical world than most of us can imagine.

After sharing his journey, he said this: “Without a doubt, this clinic does the greatest, finest, most complete, thorough treatment and evaluation I’ve ever been through.”

That wasn’t just flattering. It was humbling.

It reminded our team why we show up every day. To help people get their lives back - to listen, to care, and to walk the journey with them.

If you’re struggling with neck or back pain, headaches or migraines, concussions, vertigo, sciatica, carpal tunnel, or other neurological issues, we’d be honored to help.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ANOTHER 5-STAR REVIEW!
This is why we love hearing our patients’ stories. 💙

“We’ve loved Dr. Todd Pickman since my son started seeing him for vertigo and migraines 1.5 years ago. He has cured his vertigo and his migraines are much less frequent.

But he went above and beyond today!

My son got a concussion in his lacrosse game last night and I reached out to see if he could do an adjustment today because his neck was really hurting. I forgot that the office is closed on Fridays, but Dr. Pickman met us at the clinic anyway and did his adjustment.

And he wants him to come back to do another one tomorrow, on Saturday, again, when the office is closed, since the adjustment was difficult and he wants to try to work at it again.

Amazing doctor and very kind man who has made a huge, positive impact on my son and our family!” ❤️

Stories like this mean the world to our entire team at Gonstead Spine & Wellness.

Thank you for trusting Dr. Pickman with your son’s care and for taking the time to share your experience with us!

When it comes to the health of you and your family, RESULTS MATTER MOST!
