Chiropractic Care

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Gossett Clinic is proud to be the first provider in Champaign to offer the benefits of non-surgical spinal decompression to people suffering from chronic and severe low back pain.  Spinal decompression is offering hope and healing to people tho have suffered for years with sciatica, degenerative disk disease, bulging and herniated disks, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, failed surgery and other causes of low back pain.  Patients who undergo this breakthrough treatment are becoming "miraculously" pain free.  We've even had patients come in wheelchair bound and leave walking out on their own two feet.  Non-surgical decompression is helping people get off heavy duty prescription drugs and avoid invasive surgery while healing the root cause of low back pain and allowing people to get their lives back!

Custom Orthotics and Back Braces

 Dr. Gossett also provides patients with custom foot orthotics to help correct spinal imbalances that may be caused by improper positioning and use of the feet.  Without a good walking foundation, spinal imbalances and subluxations result, causing pain and discomfort.  Custom orthotics can correct poor foot function and restore optimal performance to your spine.  Custom back braces can also provide important stabilization while undergoing treatment to correct back problems, relieving poor posture, preventing wrong movement, and stabilizing the spine while it is recovering from improper alignment and misuse.

Nutritional Counseling

We also provide our patients with nutritional counseling.  Dr. Gossett can talk with you about various changes you can make to your diet in order to help you return to and maintain optimal health.  We also offer a wide range of nutritional support products to help you get the most benefit out of your treatment program by helping your body replace vital nutrients that are depleted during the course of chronic pain and illness.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body both regain and stay in balance and in health.  These corrective exercises also help reduce the chances of misuse and reinjury, reducing the recurrance of pain and injury to your body. 

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
