At our Austin chiropractic clinic, Dr. Whitehead offers three specific types of care that are advanced, and require specific training. They are proven to be extremely effective in treating a variety of conditions and injuries, including low back pain, migraines, vertigo, as well as many others. Dr. Whitehead is Board Certified in Rehabilitation and Strengthening, has extensive training in Gonstead technique, and is also skilled in providing upper cervical care.

Along with her Board Certification in Rehabilitation and Strengthening, Dr. Whitehead has postgraduate training in the Gonstead Technique. The Gonstead Technique complements Dr. Whitehead’s rehabilitation and strengthening programs as she is able to use Gonstead to relieve pain and strengthening to prevent future injuries. The Gonstead Technique is unique in that it relies on testing and an evaluation by the chiropractor, before she can determine what misalignments to correct and in what order to address them. This particular technique focuses on the underlying weak link or cause for pain and works on correcting that primary source of pain.

Dr. Whitehead is one of only several Austin chiropractors to offer this technique for treating lower back pain, headaches, neck pain, vertigo, shoulder pain, elbow pain, plantar fasciitis just to name a few. Dr. Whitehead has used this technique to treat thousands of patients, many with severely disabling conditions who have regained mobility and function they thought was lost forever.

Our Austin chiropractor also provides the Upper Cervical Care technique (also referred to as Chiropractic Orthospinology), which focuses on the upper two vertebra of the spine, known as the Atlas and Axis vertebrae. Dr. Whitehead first experienced the dramatic results of upper cervical care in her own life. She suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis prior to receiving upper cervical care. After receiving upper cervical adjustments, Dr. Whitehead found relief from these conditions. Due to her personal success with this type of gentle spinal care, Dr. Whitehead committed herself to learning the technique and has since provided the same dramatic results for her patients, ranging from seniors that were bent over in pain to children with ADHD to patients suffering numbness in their hands. This technique is so effective it has even been featured on a well-known daytime talk show.
In addition to these main areas of care, Dr. Whitehead is trained in techniques such the Activator Methods (which uses a small hand tool) and the Thompson Terminal Point Technique (which utilizes a drop table), both of which do not have any “cracking noises” associated with them.

Dr. Whitehead also uses the Cox-Flexion Distraction table, provides nutrition counseling, and has in-depth training and experience in treating whiplash and other types of auto injuries. Patients that are interested in learning more about pain relief and wellness are invited to join Dr. Whitehead’s weekly classes which address various topics and provide the opportunity to learn more about the techniques Dr. Whitehead offers.
Dr. Whitehead is committed to helping patients get back to living their lives to the fullest as quickly as possible.

She has helped thousands of patients with her proven techniques. Whitehead Chiropractic accepts all types of insurance, including Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Located in the heart of Austin, our advanced care center is easily accessed from I-35 and Airport Boulevard.
