How Gonstead chiropractic care may benefit your body
We aim to reduce your suffering with an honest and open approach using precise chiropractic adjustments.
With a strong foundation in detailed training and lifelong learning, Gonstead chiropractors focus on delivering carefully considered care.
We don’t offer ‘out-of-the-box’ chiropractic care plans. Instead, we develop a treatment plan specifically designed to help you and only recommend the number of visits you genuinely need.
We find it
We take a detailed look at your spinal and nervous system health to uncover what’s really causing the issue.
We adjust it
Using the Gonstead approach, we apply careful adjustments to address spinal misalignments with accuracy.
We leave it alone
We allow your body the opportunity to rebalance and support natural nerve flow following an adjustment.
Conditions often supported by Gonstead chiropractic
Chiropractic support through the Gonstead approach goes beyond just the back—it may ease discomfort in multiple parts of the body, including:

- Limb and joint pain
- Headaches & Migraines

- Nerve pain
How the Gonstead technique works
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
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
Our knowledge of posture and body mechanics allows us to detect small signs of musculoskeletal issues as you move.
Instrumental analysis
Using our precision nervoscope tool to run down your spine, we watch for temperature changes that can indicate underlying nerve problems.
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
We use on-site X-rays to examine spinal alignment and disc condition, adding another layer of insight to support our in-depth chiropractic assessment.
Focused chiropractic realignment
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.
All Gonstead adjustments are tailored to your specific needs and to help you return to optimum health, wellbeing and happiness.
Where the Gonstead method began
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.
As members of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society, our team at Chiropractic Symphony takes a detailed and caring approach to your treatment using the Gonstead system.
