Understanding the Gonstead approach
This method takes a deep dive into your body’s structure—using detailed assessments to understand the full picture, not just make spinal adjustments.
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 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
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
As we guide you through gentle movements, we’ll feel for unusual motion patterns between different spine segments to locate areas that need adjusting.
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.
Precision adjustments
After completing a detailed assessment, we’ll let you know if chiropractic care is appropriate and talk you through the next steps if needed.
Using the Gonstead method, we apply swift and carefully controlled movements to help restore natural motion and improve spinal balance—with your consent every step of the way.
All Gonstead adjustments are tailored to your specific needs and to help you return to optimum health, wellbeing and happiness.
The origins of Gonstead care
Dr Clarence Gonstead introduced his chiropractic method in the 1940s with a focus on biomechanics and the relationship between spinal discs and nerve pressure. His research led to the development of a comprehensive analysis system that examines the entire spine for a more accurate and thorough understanding of spinal issues.
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.
Widely taught and practised internationally, the Gonstead system is recognised by many as a high standard of chiropractic technique.
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.
