Correcting the Spine
Symptoms of a misaligned spine include aches and pains, disc problems, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, a weakened immune system, and dis-ease. A misaligned spine can occur from any injury - motor vehicle accidents, a fall, bumping your head, or even an injury that took place years before such as a difficult birth, falling off of your bike, or sports injuries. Misalignments are often referred to as subluxations. When subluxations occur, the spine is distorted and less stable, ultimately causing nerve and disc damage which leads to decreased life force.
Prolonged nerve damage of the nerves that exit the spine can affect many systems of the body. All of these spinal nerves go from your brain to every part of your body through the spinal cord.
Our primary goal is to remove these subluxations from your body using specific and gentle chiropractic techniques, enabling the spinal nerves and joints to function properly, thus allowing the natural healing process to begin. As a result, we find that pain and related symptoms are eliminated and a greater ability to enjoy life and reach optimal health is achieved.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a very specific approach that corrects a misaligned spine utilizing physics and biomechanics. When a spine is misaligned, the entire spine is out of alignment rather than single vertebrae at various points along the spine. With Upper Cervical Care, a very subtle and specific correction is made from the top bone of the spine, by hand, which then allows the entire spine and pelvis to come into balance naturally. During the correction, the patient does not experience any twisting or turning of the head, neck, or back. Instead, only a slight pressure is felt below the tip of the ear. With this correction, the entire body is returned to a balanced, neutral position, which is where the body wants to be. The Upper Cervical method that Dr. Gindhart uses is based on the N.U.C.C.A. technique.
With Instrument Adjusting, there is no twisting, turning, “cracking” or “popping” of joints. Instead, you receive gentle, specific corrections to your spine and structural system (shoulders, knees, hips, etc). Adjustments can be done with you standing, sitting, or laying on a table. Moreover, adjustments can be made in what is referred to as the ‘position of pain’. This is where the patient says “it only hurts when I do this… (swing a golf club, sit in my car seat, bending over, walking)”. This system of adjusting permits us to quickly, easily and gently check and correct your body for subluxations either in a neutral position or in the position that is causing the pain, often bringing quick resolution and a reduction or elimination of pain. The Instrument Adjusting methods that Dr. Gindhart uses are based on a combination of Koren Specific Technique (KST), Torque Release Technique (TRT), and Activator Technique.
Auriculotherapy is a procedure that utilizes the stimulation of the auricle, or the external part of the ear, to aid in the alleviation of health conditions throughout the body. Through a combination of classical Chinese medicine and recent research, auriculotherapy has been shown to help the body break addictive cycles and minimize pain.
What is the connection between addictions, pain, and your ear? It has to do with the flow of neurotransmitters, or chemicals, leaving your brain. In order for you to feel good, these neurotransmitters must be release at the proper time in the proper amounts. If their release is disrupted, your overall feeling of well-being diminishes, which may cause you to seek mood-altering substances or activities. The release of these neurotransmitters can be ‘recalibrated’ via the stimulation of specific points in the ear.
Prior to becoming a Chiropractor, Dr. Gindhart attended Upper Moreland High School, was an Eagle Scout, served in the United States Air Force and Air Force Reserve, and received his Bachelor's Degree from Penn State University. While working as a Logistics Consultant in Virginia, Dr. Gindhart began chiropractic care for himself. Under care, he obtained long term relief from chronic headaches and low back pain and noticed the improvement in his overall health. It didn't take too long for him to realize his call to become a Doctor of Chiropractic, wanting to help others in their health. Dr.Gindhart received his degree in Chiropractic at the Fountainhead of Chiropractic, Palmer College, in Davenport, Iowa. While at Palmer, he was placed on the Dean and President's lists for academic achievement and graduated with honors. Before joining the Well of Life, Dr. Gindhart had been in private practice for six years.

My life since finding Dr. Gindhart has completely changed. My constant neck pain of past has been completely removed. I no longer stay awake at night due to pain and I am able to do yoga once again. Dr. Gindhart puts me back together again whenever my life tears my body down. This is a lifetime change for me and I recommend it to anyone of any age.

I've been coming to Doctor Jon for chiropractic care for about two years. I had pain in back for a while and found that through regular adjustments those areas greatly improved. I feel good that my spine is being taken care of and therefore my body is functioning properly

When I first came to Dr. Gindhart I spent almost all of my time outside of work in bed on a heating pad. Through his gentle chiropractic care, I feel like a new person! I lost weight and walk regularly. I also enjoy having time to spend with my family and friends that I wasn't able to do prior to regular adjustments. I'm so grateful to Dr. Gindhart for giving me my life back!
