Why we follow the Gonstead method in our chiropractic care
The Gonstead approach to chiropractic care focuses on clarity and accuracy to guide your care.
Focused on targeted care without ongoing sessions, the Gonstead method supports you with a thoughtful and individualised philosophy.
Our approach is about understanding what’s causing your discomfort, then providing care that’s suited to your needs.

What a Gonstead chiropractor can do for you
With openness and accuracy, we provide chiropractic support to help ease what you’re experiencing.
Gonstead practitioners dedicate years to education and continued learning to ensure every adjustment is precise and responsive to your individual needs.
Our care is never one-size-fits-all—we tailor your treatment to suit your needs and only suggest visits that make sense for you.
We find it
Through a full spinal and nervous system review, we work to locate the precise reason behind your pain.
We adjust it
We use precise adjustments and Gonstead chiropractic methods to correct any misalignment.
We leave it alone
We give the body time to heal and restore nerve function naturally after your adjustment.

Understanding the Gonstead approach
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.
When chiropractic care is the right fit, we create a focused care plan designed to support improvement without excessive treatment.
Taking your history
We take a thorough history to understand your symptoms, injuries, lifestyle and reason for your visit. Listening to your point of view is a vital part of our consultation.
Visual assessment
By carefully watching your movement patterns, we look for the finer details that may point to underlying postural or structural problems.
Instrumental analysis
The nervoscope helps us pick up on subtle temperature variations along your spine that may reveal deeper nerve issues.
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
Through guided movements, we observe how each part of your spine responds, checking for areas that aren’t moving as they should.
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
We’ll only recommend chiropractic care if our full assessment shows it’s suitable, and we’ll take the time to explain everything clearly.
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.
How the Gonstead approach developed
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.
With the growing success of his practice in the 1950s, Dr Gonstead and his team began training other chiropractors and opened the Gonstead Clinic of Chiropractic in Wisconsin in 1964.
Widely taught and practised internationally, the Gonstead system is recognised by many as a high standard of chiropractic technique.
Chiropractic Symphony practitioners are proud members of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society, offering a methodical and compassionate approach to your care.
