How Gonstead care is applied
The Gonstead method involves detailed analysis to understand how your nerves, muscles, and bones work together – far beyond a simple spinal adjustment.
When chiropractic care is the right fit, we create a focused care plan designed to support improvement without excessive treatment.
Taking your history
Every consultation starts with listening—taking the time to learn about your health story and what’s brought you in.
Visual assessment
With a strong understanding of posture and movement, we observe how you move to spot subtle imbalances or concerns.
Instrumental analysis
The nervoscope helps us pick up on subtle temperature variations along your spine that may reveal deeper nerve issues.
Static palpation
By palpating the spine with precision, we detect subtle signs that may reveal pain coming from another part of the body.
Motion palpation
While moving your spine gently, we assess for any irregular motion between segments to help identify where support may be needed.
X-ray imaging
With instant access to spinal images via on-site X-ray, we gain valuable insight into your vertebral structure to guide careful and well-informed care.
Detailed and accurate corrections
Following our evaluation, we’ll discuss whether chiropractic care is right for you and ensure you’re fully informed before moving forward.
Once you’re comfortable with the proposed treatment, we’ll carry out your adjustment using the Gonstead approach—focused, accurate movements designed to support alignment and ease discomfort.
All Gonstead adjustments are tailored to your specific needs and to help you return to optimum health, wellbeing and happiness.
History of the Gonstead technique
Developed in the 1940s by Dr Clarence Gonstead, the Gonstead chiropractic system was born from a desire to better understand and address spinal misalignments. Drawing on biomechanics and disc-nerve relationships, Dr Gonstead crafted a thorough system for assessing the entire spine through detailed analysis.
As his practice continued to expand through the 1950s, Dr Gonstead’s team began teaching his method to other chiropractors and established the Gonstead Clinic of Chiropractic in Wisconsin in 1964.
Chiropractors around the globe use the Gonstead method, which is now part of major university programs and often viewed as a leading model of chiropractic care.
Our team at Chiropractic Symphony are members of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society and are committed to providing thoughtful, detailed care using the Gonstead method.
