Gohl Clinic of Chiropractic

Dr Kametz Reads an X-ray

The Gonstead Difference

Gonstead Chiropractic can help with symptoms like neck pain, back pain, sciatica pain, or migraines and headaches.  If you have low back pain or some visceral condition like asthma or carpel tunnel, your Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad can help. Gonstead chiropractors work on correcting the cause of symptoms and can provide corrective chiropractic care for structural spinal damage, not merely providing temporary relief of symptoms.

The Gonstead chiropractic system as taught by Dr. Gohl is the most structurally and bio-mechanically specific. It produces measurable results with full-spine X-rays and before and after symptom comparisons. Our Gonstead Chiropractic clinic in Carlsbad has helped thousands of patients for over 10 years with the relief and the corrective chiropractic care they have been seeking.

About Gohl Clinic

We specialize in Gonstead Chiropractic and serve patients from Carlsbad, San Diego, Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista, Encinitas, Cardiff, Leucadia, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, and Del Mar. We offer affordable Gonstead chiropractic care for you and your family. What physical condition is getting in your way of living your life? Call and schedule a no-charge consultation with your Gonstead San Diego chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if chiropractic can help.

A Chiropractic Journey

In 2004, Dr. Kametz had the good fortune of meeting and working side by side with Gonstead chiropractic legend Dr. Richard A. Gohl. Many Gonstead chiropractors believe he is the greatest chiropractor to live. Over the next eight years, Dr. Kametz devoted his time and resources to train and practice with Dr. Gohl. He died in 2012 after 60 years in active practice. Our practice and clinic is named in honor of Dr. Gohl and the work he devoted his entire life to.

Where To Find Gohl Clinic of Chiropractic

We are right at the corner of El Camino Real and Carlsbad Village Drive, just minutes off the 5 or 78 freeways.

Dr. Kametz and his whole team at the Gohl Clinic are so wonderful! Dr. Kametz has helped me so much; when I first came to him, I had headaches and neck pain every day, which made it difficult to focus and simply feel good in my daily life. Now I rarely have headaches and the memories of feeling in pain every day are fading away!read more

This place is awesome. The Dr. practices the Gonstead method of chiropractic care, which in my opinion is much superior to others or “regular” chiro care.The staff is super nice and always have a smile on their faces. Dr. Joe is awesome. He’s really good at what he does and goes the extra mile to examine you thoroughly and explain to you what’s going on (wrong) and what the best treatment plan is and what results to expect.I moved to the area and my previous Gonstead chiro recommended him as my new local back-and-neck-savior. The actual move put me in a really bad spot: lots of pain, constant discomfort. After the exam and initial couple of weeks of treatment, we did follow up x-ray to compare results. First of all: while taking the x-ray I clearly realized just how much better I was doing because I was standing there holding still: painless! The x-rays showed a huge difference, great improvement and my treatment frequency was lowered to a maintenance level. I continue to visit every couple of weeks to get the “kinks” out and I’m a happy customer – even though I never was given the feeling of being a customer or even a sick patient: I just went to a friend who did his best to make me better. And isn’t that the best kind of Dr-patient relationship?read more

Dr. Kametz and his team have provided me with the best chiropractic care of my life. I’ve been a chiropractic client for over 30 years with living in Virginia, Maryland and Florida most of my adult life. I’ve never had the success I’ve experienced with the Gohl clinic here in Carlsbad….totally different approach and it works. No more headaches!! Dr. Kametz explains the process, takes his time and provides treatment based on each individual client’s needs.read more

My husband and I started with Dr. Kametz just over a year ago. The amount of concern you get from him is unmeasurable. I just recently had a horrible neck issue that caused me some severe pain. That kind of issue usually puts a person out for a couple weeks or longer. He helped me so immensely, that I felt maybe 50% better the next day. He knew exactly what to do to help me. Not to mention Belle and Lee in the front are soooooo sweet.read more

After learning more about chiropractic and understanding it is a lifelong journey I started getting adjusted twice a week. A healthy spine and nervous system = healthy body. Last weekend I finished my second 70.3 IRONMAN beating my time by more then 1 hour. Thank you Dr. Kametz; look forward to years ahead.read more

My experience with the Gohl Clinic as been nothing short of spectacular. First and foremost, the team is incredibly kind, polite, warm and friendly. They are always greeting you by first name as you walk through the door. Appointments are quick and effective so I never feel like I have to spend half my day planning for this appointment because they are so efficient. Dr. Kametz is absolutely wonderful. He personalizes your treatment towards your needs and health goals. His positivity abounds and you can tell he really cares for the total wellness of his patients. He believes in proactive treatment versus reactive treatment. He is very knowledgeable, kind and always takes the extra few minutes to address any of your concerns or to simply ask how you are doing. He has even called me personally at home when I have not been able to make an appointment due to injury to make sure I am okay and to offer any tips or pointers that could help in getting me back to health. I have been to several chiropractors in the past and I could not recommend this practice more. First chiropractor I’ve ever been to that actually made me feel cared about. 10/10 stars from me!

This office and staff are beyond amazing the reason I went to this Chiropractor is that Dr. Kametz got to the root cause of my sister’s fertility issues and got her healthy enough to conceive two beautiful girls. And for me Dr. Kametz has helped with my seizure activity by helping me take a different approach besides medication and I appreciate it because the difference is amazing. They are also accommodating to my hectic travel schedule and make every effort to see me when I need adjustments on short notice.

Dr.Kametz and his team are amazing!! I originally came seeking help for pain I had after my second child. He helped me get rid of that pain and so many more that I had for many years and just ignored, all within a few sessions. There were so many other great benefits from the sessions that my husband and I still continue with him and his team. The entire team is amazing and it’s always a good time coming into the office.

Headed to a back surgery with extreme back and numb legs. Barely able to get into my car much less play any sports. I met Dr.Kametz and decided to give him a shot. 4 years later broke 80 first time playing golf. No surgery no leg numbness and no back pain. The entire staff is fantastic, super helpful and makes everyone feel like family. Highly recommended. Without a doubt the best chiropractic experience.

I visited Dr. Joe after seeing YouTube videos of the Gonstead Method and having constant back and neck stiffness. I would always need to crack by back to get comfortable before sleeping, and would often wake up with a stiff neck where you can’t move it one way without pain for a few days. The improvement after seeing Dr. Joe was gradual but definitely noticeable. After about 1 year, I was feeling better than I had been in the past 5 years. Its been about 4 years now since I started visiting Dr. Joe and feel great. I don’t feel like “I’m getting old” anymore and feel like I’ll be able to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle for many years to come. Thank you Gohl Clinic!

Hands down the best chiropractor clinic in Carlsbad. The receptionist are always friendly and helpful, the Doctors perform their job with a passion and actually care about your quality of life. I’ve dealt with a magnitude of pain due to an autoimmune disorder and injuries sustained during military service for 10+ years of my life. Finally, I have found relief thanks to the providers of this clinic, thank you!

Pain eliminated! Dr Kametz continues to be my secret weapon for sanity and working long hours over a laptop. During the pandemic, I was forced to work without a proper set up that caused pain in a number of areas, mainly neck and back. His adjustments allowed me to function well during that craziness. Now we focus more on keeping my hands working on the mouse and keyboard. Highly recommend!

They truely make Gohl chiropractor a welcoming place. Check them out you won’t be disappointed.

Life changing! I got whiplash and blacked out on a roller coaster and felt as if my spine was stabbing me in the bottom of my skull. Along with headaches nausea and vomiting and being bedridden multiple days of the week. I left another chiropractor because I always felt worse and was in excruciating pain after having my neck adjusted. I started physical therapy for my neck and was told I was 45% disabled from my neck. Finished physical therapy treatment and still wasn’t anywhere near where I wanted to be so I reluctantly took my sisters advice and came here. I started with stabilization. I’d say I’ve been a patient for 2 years now and I can go through my day’s normally now!

Im a former military, with years of treatment through a wide range of practitioners and zero results. Within weeks of seeing Dr. Kametz, I have great relief in my lower back, my sleeping patterns have begun to revert back to some what normal and my never ending bowel movements have almost completely returned to normalcy. Highly recommend his services before any other treatments unlike what I did and had lower back surgery first then found him.

I have been a patient of Dr Joseph Kametz since fall of 2020 when I had severe back pain, could barely walk and went to see a Gonstead Chiropractor while visiting my daughter in IL. He told me to find a Gonstead chiropractor when I got home, and I found Gohl Clinic. I have been impressed from the beginning with the professionalism of all, especially the office staff who are the best I have ever worked with in a Drs office. I am walking, hiking, gardening and even playing occasional golf, free from back pain thanks to Dr K.

After seeing a physical therapist and chiropractor for a herniated C5/C6 which was causing debilitating nerve pain in my left arm and hand, I heard about Dr. Kametz and his methodology. He X-rayed my back, and was able to concisely explain the technique he would use to correct the problem. True to form, 6 months later, he was able to completely restore function and feeling where others failed after 2 years. I cannot recommend Dr Kametz enough. As a bonus, the front desk staff are the friendliest I’ve ever had the pleasure of scheduling with!!

My son was diagnosed with active airways diseases (asthma) at just under 2 years old. Any cold and he would be struggling to breathe and in ER in a matter of minutes. Dr. Kametz has changed my sons life in the most amazing way. We fight cold so much faster then before and haven’t been to ER since starting his adjustments. I can’t even remember the last time he needed a breathing treatemeny. Dr. Kametz is a miracle worker and I can’t even fathom where our life would be without finding him and gonstead chiropractic work. Thank you Dr!!!!!

This place saved my life !In just 12 visits I went from a level 9 pain / discomfort to 100% pain free. I wish I would have found this place sooner !! I had been in pain for so long. Nerve pain in my arm, my hand, my shoulder, my pelvis, my hips, my neck ! I wasn’t sleeping, couldn’t really workout, couldn’t focus, had extreme brain fog, you can view the before and after log to see all my symptoms. At just 30 years old, I felt like I was falling apart from the inside out. Thank you so much Dr Kametz, you and your AMAZING staff. You have such a beautiful business here and I’ll never stop telling people how much you helped me! And Glory to God for answering my prayers and leading me here ! May God continue to bless your business and use you to help as many people as possible.Ps, this has been the most affordable chiropractor i have been to over the last 10 years! Not only that, but the most genuine, humble, kind and trustworthy too ! It doesn’t get better than GOHL Clinic

I don't feel like "I'm getting old" anymore and feel like I'll be able to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle for many years to come. Thank you Gohl Clinic!

Hands down the best chiropractor clinic in Carlsbad. The receptionist are always friendly and helpful, the Doctors perform their job with a passion and actually care about your quality of life. I’ve dealt with a magnitude of pain due to an autoimmune disorder and injuries sustained during military service for 10+ years of my life. Finally, I have found relief thanks to the providers of this clinic, thank you!

Dr. Kametz and the whole staff at Gohl Clinic are the best of the best!! After years of struggling with digestive trouble to no avail, I am feeling significantly better after just 2 months. I have also seen improvements in many other aspects of my health. I cannot recommend Dr. K highly enough! And his staff are just as wonderful, always so accommodating and friendly.

Love this place! Will is the best adjuster. He always explains what he is doing and why. Every adjustment is designed to fit my current needs, painful areas, etc. Will has fixed some areas I have had pain in for years. He is also very nice and always try’s to make me feel comfortable and relaxed.

Pain eliminated! Dr Kametz continues to be my secret weapon for sanity and working long hours over a laptop. During the pandemic, I was forced to work without a proper set up that caused pain in a number of areas, mainly neck and back. His adjustments allowed me to function well during that craziness. Now we focus more on keeping my hands working on the mouse and keyboard. Highly recommend!

Life changing! I got whiplash and blacked out on a roller coaster and felt as if my spine was stabbing me in the bottom of my skull. Along with headaches nausea and vomiting and being bedridden multiple days of the week. I left another chiropractor because I always felt worse and was in excruciating pain after having my neck adjusted. I started physical therapy for my neck and was told I was 45% disabled from my neck. Finished physical therapy treatment and still wasn’t anywhere near where I wanted to be so I reluctantly took my sisters advice and came here. I started with stabilization. I’d say I’ve been a patient for 2 years now and I can go through my day’s normally now!

Im a former military, with years of treatment through a wide range of practitioners and zero results. Within weeks of seeing Dr. Kametz, I have great relief in my lower back, my sleeping patterns have begun to revert back to some what normal and my never ending bowel movements have almost completely returned to normalcy. Highly recommend his services before any other treatments unlike what I did and had lower back surgery first then found him.

I have been a patient of Dr Joseph Kametz since fall of 2020 when I had severe back pain, could barely walk and went to see a Gonstead Chiropractor while visiting my daughter in IL. He told me to find a Gonstead chiropractor when I got home, and I found Gohl Clinic. I have been impressed from the beginning with the professionalism of all, especially the office staff who are the best I have ever worked with in a Drs office. I am walking, hiking, gardening and even playing occasional golf, free from back pain thanks to Dr K.

After seeing a physical therapist and chiropractor for a herniated C5/C6 which was causing debilitating nerve pain in my left arm and hand, I heard about Dr. Kametz and his methodology. He X-rayed my back, and was able to concisely explain the technique he would use to correct the problem. True to form, 6 months later, he was able to completely restore function and feeling where others failed after 2 years. I cannot recommend Dr Kametz enough. As a bonus, the front desk staff are the friendliest I've ever had the pleasure of scheduling with!!

My son was diagnosed with active airways diseases (asthma) at just under 2 years old. Any cold and he would be struggling to breathe and in ER in a matter of minutes. Dr. Kametz has changed my sons life in the most amazing way. We fight cold so much faster then before and haven’t been to ER since starting his adjustments. I can’t even remember the last time he needed a breathing treatemeny. Dr. Kametz is a miracle worker and I can’t even fathom where our life would be without finding him and gonstead chiropractic work. Thank you Dr!!!!!

This place saved my life !In just 12 visits I went from a level 9 pain / discomfort to 100% pain free. I wish I would have found this place sooner !! I had been in pain for so long. Nerve pain in my arm, my hand, my shoulder, my pelvis, my hips, my neck ! I wasn’t sleeping, couldn’t really workout, couldn’t focus, had extreme brain fog, you can view the before and after log to see all my symptoms. At just 30 years old, I felt like I was falling apart from the inside out. Thank you so much Dr Kametz, you and your AMAZING staff. You have such a beautiful business here and I’ll never stop telling people how much you helped me! And Glory to God for answering my prayers and leading me here ! May God continue to bless your business and use you to help as many people as possible.Ps, this has been the most affordable chiropractor i have been to over the last 10 years! Not only that, but the most genuine, humble, kind and trustworthy too ! It doesn’t get better than GOHL Clinic

This place is awesome. The Dr. practices the Gonstead method of chiropractic care, which in my opinion is much superior... to others or "regular" chiro care.The staff is super nice and always have a smile on their faces. Dr. Joe is awesome. He's really good at what he does and goes the extra mile to examine you thoroughly and explain to you what's going on (wrong) and what the best treatment plan is and what results to expect.I moved to the area and my previous Gonstead chiro recommended him as my new local back-and-neck-savior. The actual move put me in a really bad spot: lots of pain, constant discomfort. After the exam and initial couple of weeks of treatment, we did follow up x-ray to compare results. First of all: while taking the x-ray I clearly realized just how much better I was doing because I was standing there holding still: painless! The x-rays showed a huge difference, great improvement and my treatment frequency was lowered to a maintenance level. I continue to visit every couple of weeks to get the "kinks" out and I'm a happy customer - even though I never was given the feeling of being a customer or even a sick patient: I just went to a friend who did his best to make me better. And isn't that the best kind of Dr-patient relationship?read more

Proven Results

People come to our office with neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, shooting tingling pain in the arms, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, migraines, and/or many other health symptoms. Those conditions can be caused by subluxation (a herniated disc in the spine that damages the nerves). Therapies will never take the place of a Gonstead adjustment. The Gohl Clinic of Chiropractic in Carlsbad specializes in the Gonstead chiropractic technique of adjusting. The Gonstead system provides gentle, precise, specific, and provable results with significant changes in patient symptoms and structural changes in before and after x-rays.

Conditions Treated

anterior-head-syndrome-430x339Anterior Head Syndrome (ANS) is a relatively new condition presenting itself in the early 2000s.  Sedentary lifestyle stresses such as heads down texting, computers, gaming, and tremendous emotional stresses have stressed the muscles and ligaments to a point where they cannot adapt.  Often time this leads to misalignment of the spinal bones which creates pressure on the nerves and stretches the spinal cord.  This produces significant neurologic consequences.  ANS is so serious that in a recent medical study out of UCLA, men and women with hyperkyphotic spines (ANS) had an increased mortality rate.  Besides an unsightly postural condition in females called Dowager’s Hump, children with weakened muscles and sedentary lifestyles are being seriously affected by this.

You can self-test for ANS, but your chiropractor can only determine if it is caused by a chiropractic condition.  If you suffer from Anterior Head Syndrome, please call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

Allergies are an incorrect response by your immune system to an allergen (substances

 

that normally have no effect on people) resulting in sneezing, coughing, congestion, hives, rashes, and in severe cases, seizure and anaphylactic shock.  These symptoms are caused by the histamines your immune system creates in an attempt to protect your body against the allergen.

When your spine is misaligned it can impinge on the nerves in your body.  The nervous system controls everything including chemical and hormone release.  Any insult to the nervous system will cause the body to not function properly, and your immune system cannot work at an optimal level.

Chiropractors realign the spine to relieve any stress on nerves. This allows the immune system to work at a higher level, making it easier to fight off infections while recognizing allergens.  When your immune system recognizes allergens, it will not overreact to them, or at least not react as severely to them.

Arthritis is a condition in which repeated trauma has gradually degraded the joints

 

Arthritis

including cartilage and bone.  It mostly happens in weight bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and spine.  It is also common in the neck and hands.

Over time, degenerated joints may cause stiffness and strain the supporting muscle.  This generally will lead to the body compensating consciously or not.  Here the body will begin to develop bone spurs to protect the joints from excessive movement.

When there is a subluxation, there is always a bone in the spine that is fixed into position.  When the subluxation is corrected, often time normal body movement will ensue.  When there is no longer any need for extra joint protection, often times the bone will resorb as calcium into the blood stream.

If you suffer from arthritis, please call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

These days millions of Americans have jobs which can have damaging effects on the hands and arms. Repetitive movements which are not performed with good ergonomics in mind can cause micro-trauma to the hands and wrists.   This trauma combined with joint dysfunction and spinal problems may result in a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

The median nerve, which is affected in carpal tunnel syndrome, travels from spinal cord from the lower neck, down the arm, through the wrist and to the tips of the fingers.   If one or more of these structures are affected, symptoms of wrist pain, numbness, weakness, burning and loss of muscle function can occur.

Surgery is usually unnecessary because it deals with the wrist, and more often than not that pain is caused by misalignment of the bones in the lower neck.  Gonstead chiropractic can assure that all of the joints and muscles along the path of the nerve are free of obstruction and functioning normally, thus reducing nerve irritation and pain.  If you suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, please call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

Gas, bloating, heart burn, reflux and general digestive problems plague nearly 80% of adults.  Many times, poor diet is the cause.  But often times, the digestive organs do not produce the proper chemicals and enzymes necessary for digestion.  The nerves going to the digestive organs are responsible for telling the organs to create digestive fluids.  Often times when the spinal bones are misaligned, they create pressure on those nerves making proper digestion impossible.  Once the spine is back into a normal position, the body can create digestive juices and digest food properly.  If your digestive difficulties are caused by a chiropractic condition, we have outstanding success rates. Call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

pinched nerveWhen a nerve is squeezed or compressed it is called a “pinched nerve”. This can be caused by spinal misalignment, bulging or herniated discs, or other factors. The increased pressure on the nerve causes inflammation, pain, and sometimes muscle spasms. The pressure on the nerve must be relieved in order to alleviate the pain. If you are suffering from a pinched nerve, call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

Golf Injuries

Injuries happen when the body cannot adapt to the physical stress placed upon it.  This is often the case in golf.

Most often the pain and discomfort is caused by a vertebral subluxation.

The twisting of the spine (along with flexing forward) is the most damaging to the discs, which protect the nerves.  Over time, if the subluxation is not corrected, neurologic malfunction become more prevalent, the discs begin to degenerate, and the spine in an attempt to protect itself develops arthritis.

Common manipulative technique used in chiropractic involves a twisting of the pelvis.  While this may temporarily work for decreasing pain and increasing motion, the continuous twisting will further damage lumbar discs giving rise to more inflammation around the nerves.  In our office, using the Gonstead system, we use a specific technique that requires no twisting of the spine for adjustments.  This facilitates the healing process quicker and for more lasting effects.

Call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

Chiropractors analyze and correct spinal subluxations.

Subluxation is a condition when the spinal bones, instead of protecting the delicate nerves, interfere with the nerves.  This causes damage to the end organ attached to them.

chiropractor encinitas normal alignment

Normal Alignment

There are four characteristics of a subluxation.

1) Misalignment – bone twist out of normal position

2) Occlusion – when the hole the nerve passes thru gets smaller

3) Pressure – smaller hole causes increased pressure on the nerves

chiropractor carlsbadn misalignment

Subluxation

4) Interference – pinched nerves restricts nerve impulses to organs

Since subluxations interfere with the master control center of the body, they may cause any condition in the body.  Often times subluxations produce pain, but this is at the end state of disease, not the beginning.

When an organ gets a restricted nerve impulse, over time the cells malfunction at that organ.  If enough cells malfunction, then you have a symptom.  If symptoms persist long enough, then you have a pathology which is now a medical condition.

If your primary condition is a subluxation, chiropractic can help any secondary condition from asthma to irregular menses to colic to back pain.  Once the subluxation is corrected, normal function can begin. Call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

Headaches and Migraines

Migraine headaches are a neurological disorder characterized by severe headaches and other visceral symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light and sound, and sever pain.  Many sufferers report an aura.

 

When there is spinal misalignment, the bones protecting the spinal cord interfere with the nerves instead of protecting them.  This interference causes the body to malfunction somehow, either directly by causing pain or indirectly by not chemically or hormonally balancing the body properly.  Often, a symptom of this is a migraine headache.

Once the pressure on the nerves is relieved, the body has no reason for pain and can balance itself chemically and hormonally and function properly.

We have outstanding success with those suffering from headaches and migraines. If you’re suffering from headaches or migraines, call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

neck and back painSubluxations (misalignments of the spinal vertebrae) are one of the most common causes of neck and low back pain. When vertebrae are misaligned, they put pressure directly on spinal nerves, causing pain. Muscle spasms may set in which can increase the pressure further. This extra pressure can cause even more inflammation and irritation, which leads to more pain. And the cycle continues. Often times, stretching and massage may only temporarily relieve the pain because the cause (subluxation) has not been addressed. A chiropractic adjustment focuses on correcting the cause.

If you suffer from neck or back pain, call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a common injury for people involved in car collisions. When a car is struck from behind or collides with another object, it causes the neck to snap back and forth violently. This causes the muscles and ligaments (including the Intervertebral Disc) to overextend, leading to strains and/or tears.  This is referred to as soft tissue damage, and can cause stiffness and soreness. Whiplash can also cause structural damage such as misaligned vertebrae, herniated, bulging or ruptured discs, or nerve damage due to the overextension from the violent movement.

Gonstead chiropractic can help with both types of injuries. Gonstead adjustments can be performed specifically for those who have been in car accidents and suffered from whiplash. The pressure on the discs and nerves is released when the spine is returned to its proper alignment, preventing nerve and disc damage.The most important time to get checked by a Gonstead chiropractor after an accident is roughly three days.

If you are under regular Gonstead chiropractic care, you should be seen shortly after the accident.  The small delay in care will have given the upset structures a chance to settle down a bit so a more accurate xray may be taken.  However, waiting too long after an accident may cause structures to mal-adapt and begin the degeneration process.  Many people after accidents wait 10, 20 years or even more before seeing a chiropractor years later when they have neck pain. Yet, the problem began in an accident as a teen.  At that point, the amount of degeneration that has taken place during this time will never allow a full recovery. If you have been in a car accident, call and schedule a consultation with your San Diego Gonstead chiropractor in Carlsbad to see if you qualify for care.

Gohl Clinic Testimonials

Dr. Kametz initially impressed me with how much he cares about chiropractic and me as a patient. Even more so, how much he wanted me (and all of his patients) to understand how the body works and the importance of a healthy spine. Over 2-3 months I felt better, slept better, and reduced injuries during my long runs. When we did a follow up x-ray I could see visible improvements.
Tony Stark
Matthew Stark
The Gohl Clinic is a top notch chiropractic facility with one of the best chiropractors I have ever experienced. I have been to many different docs over the years but Dr Kametz is by far the best. He takes time for you and explains your condition in detail and correlates with his exam and x-rays. His adjustments are precise and gentle and he never twists or uses excessive force. I would recommend this doctor to anyone looking for high quality chiropractic care in the san diego or orange county areas.

What I admired the most and the reason I go to Dr. Kamerz is the fact that he’s such a detailed oriented individual. He wouldn’t allow you to leave until everything is perfect and at tip to shape. This is extremely important and I believe the reason I was able to qualify for the Boston Marathon because of him.
Michael's Testimony

I have been seeing Dr. Kametz for three years now. Before that I had seen at least a dozen chiropractors, therapists, acupuncturists, medical doctors and anyone else who could offer me pain relief over the last dozen years. After seeing Dr. Kametz, I am so much better today than I have been in many, many years thanks to his techniques. I did construction work and drove and loaded and unloaded trucks for over 30 years and it took its toll on me. I continue his maintenance visits every 3 weeks as well as walking to keep in shape. I highly recommend Dr. Kametz to all of you whether you feel the pain or not. You deserve to feel better and your body will thank you for it.
