A Father Saw the Difference… So He Brought His Son | Pediatric Gonstead Check-Up

Hayward Senior first came to our office seeking help for his own spine. After experiencing the importance of specific analysis and precision care, he made a decision many parents consider: ➡️ Have his child’s spine checked. In this visit, he brought his 8-year-old son, Hayward Junior, for his first chiropractic spinal evaluation, not because something was “wrong,” but because structure matters, especially during growth and development. Using a full Gonstead examination and X-ray analysis, Dr. Rahim assessed spinal alignment and biomechanics to understand how Hayward Junior’s spine was adapting to life, activity, and past physical stress. Findings included: • Tailbone injuries affecting pelvic foundation • Misalignment and nerve pressure at S3 (sacrum) • Upper cervical involvement at C1 • Additional stress patterns affecting ankle mechanics This visit highlights an important principle: Gonstead is not about guessing. It’s about analyzing first, especially in children. Every adjustment is preceded by careful evaluation to determine whether correction is necessary and appropriate. This is a powerful example of a parent applying what he learned from his own experience to support his child’s structural health early. ⚠️ This video is for educational purposes and documents one patient’s evaluation and care plan.
