A precise and patient-focused approach to chiropractic care
Why we follow the Gonstead method in our chiropractic care
Gonstead chiropractic care uses a detailed and structured approach to support your spinal health.
Guided by the principle of addressing the issue and stepping back, the Gonstead method offers care that’s precise and not drawn out.
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
Our goal is to ease your discomfort through clear communication and carefully delivered chiropractic care.
Gonstead practitioners dedicate years to education and continued learning to ensure every adjustment is precise and responsive to your individual needs.
Rather than using generic care plans, we focus on crafting a chiropractic approach that fits your situation, with no unnecessary appointments.
We find it
Our process involves a careful assessment of your spine and nervous system to identify the true source of discomfort.
We adjust it
Using the Gonstead approach, we apply careful adjustments to address spinal misalignments with accuracy.
We leave it alone
We give the body time to heal and restore nerve function naturally after your adjustment.
Gonstead chiropractic conditions
Chiropractic support through the Gonstead approach goes beyond just the back—it may ease discomfort in multiple parts of the body, including:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Limb and joint pain
- Headaches & Migraines
- Dizziness
- Nerve pain
How the Gonstead technique works
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.
We assess the concern, ensure chiropractic care is suitable, and craft a plan aimed at delivering meaningful outcomes with only necessary adjustments.
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
With a strong understanding of posture and movement, we observe how you move to spot subtle imbalances or concerns.
Instrumental analysis
By guiding a nervoscope down your spine, we look for changes in temperature that could suggest nerve-related concerns.
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 take an on-site X-ray for an instant image of your spine to check joint and disc integrity and vertebral alignment. This further informs our thorough analysis and helps us to provide meticulous and precise chiropractic care.
Precision adjustments
We’ll only recommend chiropractic care if our full assessment shows it’s suitable, and we’ll take the time to explain everything clearly.
With your permission, we’ll perform your adjustment using the Gonstead technique of quick, precise and meticulous movements to realign your spine, reduce pain, and restore normal movement.
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
Originating in the 1940s, the Gonstead method was created by Dr Clarence Gonstead, who focused on improving how spinal misalignments were identified and addressed. His approach is rooted in biomechanical principles and a full-spine assessment rather than limiting focus to just the symptomatic area.
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.
Today, Gonstead programs are taught in major universities, and chiropractors all over the world practise the Gonstead system. It’s considered by many to be the gold standard in chiropractic care.
Chiropractic Symphony practitioners are proud members of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society, offering a methodical and compassionate approach to your care.
