How Gonstead chiropractic care may benefit your body
We focus on relieving pain with a straightforward approach and well-considered adjustments.
Years of focused study and continued refinement equip Gonstead chiropractors to provide thoughtful, tailored adjustments for each person.

We adjust it
Our chiropractic care is grounded in the Gonstead method, using focused techniques to support proper alignment.
We leave it alone
We allow your body the opportunity to rebalance and support natural nerve flow following an adjustment.

The process behind the Gonstead method
With a strong focus on accuracy, the Gonstead approach uses a range of tools to examine how the body’s systems interact, offering insight well beyond spinal manipulation.
Once we find the problem and determine the suitability of chiropractic treatment, we design a course of care that aims to give you great results with minimal adjustments.
Taking your history
We begin by carefully exploring your health history, lifestyle, and concerns—your perspective is central to how we approach your care.
Visual assessment
With a strong understanding of posture and movement, we observe how you move to spot subtle imbalances or concerns.
Instrumental analysis
We use a nervoscope along the spine to detect temperature shifts, which may point to areas of nerve irritation.
Static palpation
We gently assess along your spine, feeling for signs like tenderness or swelling that could point to the true source of discomfort.
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
Our on-site X-ray gives us a clear, immediate view of your spine, allowing us to assess disc health, joint condition, and alignment as part of our detailed approach.
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.
Gonstead care is personalised to suit your needs, with the goal of helping you feel your best—physically and emotionally.
History of the Gonstead technique
The Gonstead chiropractic system is an approach developed by Dr Clarence Gonstead in the 1940s. Dr Gonstead was particularly interested in finding more effective ways to locate and correct spinal misalignments and was guided by biomechanics and the interactions between vertebral discs and nerve pressure. Through extensive clinical research, Gonstead developed a complete method of biomechanical analysis based on through examination of the whole spine, not just the affected area.
During the 1950s, as demand for his approach grew, Dr Gonstead’s team started sharing his method with other practitioners and went on to open 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.
At Chiropractic Symphony, our team are members of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society and are dedicated to delivering a caring, thorough and systematic approach to your treatment through the Gonstead system.
