Saw Dr. Rahim, after 2 visits pain was gone. I got Covid shortly after, fund another Gonstead practitioner closer to me that has taught over 500 Gonstead doctors... there's no comparison. I was really surprised. No one, i mean no one does the energy work that Dr. Rahim does. He also doesn't let you leave without the meter being clear. It's worth the 6 hour drive one way to see him. I'm a coming back!! Lol

The only chiropractor that I’ve seen who truly cares for his patients and truly hopes the best for them! Takes all his time to sit down and educate them on their body to prevent further problems with their body! Appreciate you a ton Dr Rahim
Thank you for an inside look at your work - I find it so fascinating. As a bodyworker who deals only with soft tissue, it can be frustrating that we're often considered "just a massage therapist." As you say, many of the clients I see are carrying decades of trauma that are retained in their tissues and motions, and I see a fair number of emotional releases in my work too. If I were even 30 years younger I would be considering learning the Gonstead work, but at 75, well, that's really not going to happen. But I'm putting together an online interactive program to teach people how to become best friends with our bodies. A small thing, perhaps, but I feel that it would bring a lot of awareness and ease to those who choose to try it out. As always, best wishes to you and your family and much gratitude for your impact on our health and well-being.
Thanks Dr. Rahim for this video specifically and for sharing examples of your practice on this channel. I have had chiropractic adjustments in the past but in watching your videos, I believe I would be better served by the Gonstead method. I love the idea of fixing what needs to be fixed and allowing time to heal rather than the too-common snap-crackle-pop practice of traditional chiropractors. Thanks for all of the lives you have improved and for sharing your talents!
Thank you for sharing and caring. It helps so much when we understand what is wrong and how it is affecting our bodies. Even simple things like be sure to drink lots of water, be sure to walk, etc. Some of us are hard headed. We have to understand why! Otherwise we forget to do it.
I really enjoy your videos and your perspective so much. You seem to have a beautiful relationship with understanding people’s bodies and their challenges. I love the way you hold space for all 3 body mind and the spirit while you ground the family of the patient at the same time. You are gifted Doc. May God always fill your soul and your heart. You are helping so many people. It only takes one person in alignment to help shine the light for everyone.
Dr. Rahim, I'll keep this as brief as I can. Your work, as well as others, has ignited a passion to be a Chiropractor. I went to school to be a Surgical Technologist. After that, went back to be a nurse, but my mom had a brain aneurysm the night before I was supposed to start. So, I decided to wait and never went back. I want to thank you for reigniting my will to go back and be a Chiropractor. God Bless you, Doctor.
I see a Gonstead trained Chiro--he went to the same college as you in LA. He does not do the things I see you doing. Only uses the meter one time right after an x ray, then repeated visits are less than 5 minutes, fully clothed and he always targets the same areas. It’s quite frustrating for me when I see all the thorough exams and adjustments that you do in these videos. Just last week he told me that he’s just trying to keep me out of surgery at this point. I am 45 and have chronic SI issues with degenerative discs in low back and cervical spine. I wish I could come and see you.
Thanks a lot doc. Since its hard for us to visit usa and have an appointment, can you tell the red flags to keep an eye on in our chiropractor ? We wont know if anyone is applying correct procedures. Regards
Helpful information.I will now start reading the books u suggested.Often when a person gets a small bump while driving a bike and gets less pain ,but later that pain starts increasing.Must not neglect this kind of pain.
Thanks alot for the information..what knowledge you have Doctor and able to convey it to us. Learnt a lot from this video .. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. God bless .🌹
Deliberately waiting for this q/a since long time , when i had watched your 3 video's regarding explaining what chiropractic is in such a precise and honest manner , thank you so much Rahim sir for uploading this ever-asking qna ... love from India ...
Good day Dr. ! Im an eye care practioner and i have a lots of patients complaining about Chronic Tension Headaches even with spectacle correction . My colleagues and I traditionally refer them to a physical therapist or prescribing some pain killers. Just want to know what is your Chiropractic stand point in treating such cases ? Hope you reply Dr. , just want enlighten myself to a more Chiropractic approach. Thank you!
@@DrRahim please. I sleep sometimes on the belly, sometimes on side and sometimes like 45° between belly and side. I have felling like I am falling apart - problems with neck, upper back/shoulders.
Hello Dr. Rahim. I am a Physiotherapist from Czech republic and for me you are doing miracles! Unfortunately we cant study Chiro (Gonstead) in Czech rep. Would love to meet you in person once!
Hey dr rahim, as I recently graduated highschool, I’ve been working for a year wondering what I want to do with my life. I don’t really have an answer but when I think of gonstead chiropractor, I would love to be one. Is it worth it? I heard it takes a long time and a lot of debt. I am a bodybuilder and into fitness and personal Therapy sounds uninteresting to me
I am obviously biased but here is a summary of the education needed to become a chiropractor: Doctors of chiropractic are educated as primary-contact health care providers, with an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the musculoskeletal system (the muscles, ligaments and joints of the spine and extremities) and the nerves that supply them. Educational requirements for doctors of chiropractic are among the most stringent of any of the health care professions. The typical applicant for chiropractic college has already acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college education, including courses in biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, psychology and related lab work. Once accepted into an accredited chiropractic college, the requirements become even more demanding - four to five academic years of professional study are the standard. Doctors of chiropractic are educated in orthopedics, neurology, physiology, human anatomy, clinical diagnosis including laboratory procedures, diagnostic imaging, exercise, nutrition rehabilitation and more. Because chiropractic care includes highly skilled manipulation/adjusting techniques, a significant portion of time is spent in clinical technique training to master these important manipulative procedures. In total, the chiropractic college curriculum includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience. The course of study is approved by an accrediting agency that is fully recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
Hi Dr Rahim, this was a wonderful session... Thanks for the interaction.. I can pop practically all of my joints, starting from my toes/fingers, almost all back spine joints, neck, shoulders, wrists, ... Is there something I should be concerned about? Where should I start correcting, posture/exercise/diet ...? I'm looking forward to change the way of life...
While it is possible to make your joints pop and crack, a gonstead specific adjustment has a three dimensional component. The posteriority is the first component of misalignment and the exact force required to adjust may not be attainable by oneself. Further, we are unable to provide diagnosis for your health condition(s) without an in-person health assessment.
The best chiropractor ever! Hello Dr. My name is Mariem 32 year old from Mauritania. It is my dream to be able to reach you to fix my back. I have been suffering from a L4 L5 slipped disc since 2019. Have been around some treatments but the issue is always still here 😒
I wish that all Chiropractor were Gonstead specialized, we have no one here at Lakeland florida and I hesitate to even make an appointment with them cause I know they will not do or follow your guidelines, I wish I can meet you some day for an appointment
How can I make an appointment for the week of May 23 to 27 on vacation and need an alignment my left leg is longer than than my right my hips bother me my lower back my left shoulder can you help me Anthony Hernandez
Great and best ever cairopractor in the world c u soon INSHALLAH , may ALLAH bless you with health wealth & success and stay blessed , much respect from Pakistan .
I love your explanation about DRs (types) I went to my first Chiropractor they helped resolve all my health issues and left my Primary care Dr amazed! My question: why do you have patients walk and do activities after their adjustments? and What would you tell someone not to do after an adjustment?
Hi doc it’s a nice video & very informative. Can you pls tell the name of x rays to be done before coming to ur office ? What test should be done by patients ? Thanks doc, keep it up. Take care
Hey there! Both Anterior to Posterior (AP) and Lateral x-rays are obtained on the patient. The purpose of obtaining full spine x-rays are; to have an accurate count of vertebrae, to be able to perform the gonstead pelvic analysis for foundational imbalances, to rule out scoliosis, to be able to perform an accurate postural assessment, to be able to accurately determine the exact way in which the offending vertebrae is misaligned along a three dimensional axis (static listing). The gonstead doctor wants to be able to see the person as a whole unit and not treat just a part because the spine is continuous and contiguous. Things that happen below the spine can affect above and vice versa.
Dr. As one of the common questions, spine or any body manipulation adjustments as part of chiropractic treatment, are there any side effects if treated multiple times on one part for one problem for a period of time, say 5 times in 10yrs?
Hi Sai Kiran, It may be possible to be “over adjusted”, however, in the Gonstead system, the goal is to adjust only the areas specified during the examination instead of randomly adjusting for temporary relief.
HI Sai Kiran, We only have one office located at 321 N. North Larchmont Blvd. Suite 905, Los Angeles, CA 90004.

Hi sir, in next episode, please talk about various pelvic misalignment as per gonstead system. I read books, but need to know more about pelvic misalignment like P to A and many more
Doctor, I have been watching you for over a year and it would give me great pleasure if you could come to Greece and help a lot of people. My financial situation does not allow me to come there to help me. I wish you could get some sponsorship from a pharmaceutical company and come to Greece, as some other doctors (for example cardiologists) have done. I am a disabled person and it is not easy for me to come to America. I wish you could come here. I would be one of the first patients to come and do me good in my waist and legs (specifically in my hips. You are a wonderful person and a doctor. This can be seen from afar, so I imagine that those who know you closely will feel the same.
Dr. Rahim holds an Honors Bachelors of Science degree in Zoology with a concentration in biochemistry and enzymology from the University on Western Ontario and a Doctor of Chiropractic from Southern California University of Health Sciences.

He was the first recipient of prestigious Gonstead Extremity Certification in 2003. He has over 18 years of extensive training and utilization of functional medicine protocols to balance body chemistry and physiology using natural organic whole food based nutritional supplementation and life style modifications.
Hello Dr Rahim, what procedure does someone like me who have been in two major car accidents (10 years apart, 1993 at age 13 and in 2003 at age 23) be safe but at same time relief from every day pain??? Do you take Medicaid insurance???

@@DrRahim Thanks a lot Dr. Rahim for detailed reply. Unfortunately in India though all medical segments study is available but chiropractic teachings are not there. Medicos who are well versed in physiology, orthopaedic, muscular and nerve placement are not taught about foundation adjustments. It was my dream to have you in India for 2/3 day in a month.
Hi doc, what's your take on PKD, from what I know, it's a genetically passed on disease and patient's kidney has cyst and that it bulges over a time .when it gets severe, patient has to get a kidney transplant surgery as there's a potential kidney failure situation. I was interested to know what possible misalignments and nerve pressure could also add as a cause for this disease. And how could these be treated ?
