A thoughtful, measured approach to personalised chiropractic care
Why we follow the Gonstead method in our chiropractic care
Through the Gonstead method, chiropractic care is guided by thorough analysis and tailored support.
With a philosophy of finding, fixing, and leaving it alone, the Gonstead technique takes a personalised approach and avoids unnecessary ongoing treatment.
We focus on finding the reason behind your pain so we can deliver tailored care and specific treatments to fix the source of the problem.

What a Gonstead chiropractor can do for you
We aim to reduce your suffering with an honest and open approach using precise chiropractic adjustments.
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
Our process involves a careful assessment of your spine and nervous system to identify the true source of discomfort.
We adjust it
With a steady hand and detailed technique, we apply Gonstead adjustments to help restore balance in your spine.
We leave it alone
We give the body time to heal and restore nerve function naturally after your adjustment.
What Gonstead chiropractic may help with
Many assume chiropractic care is just for back pain, but the Gonstead method may support relief across different areas of the body, such as:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Limb and joint pain
- Headaches & Migraines
- Dizziness
- Nerve pain
How Gonstead care is applied
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 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
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
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
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.
Focused chiropractic realignment
Following our evaluation, we’ll discuss whether chiropractic care is right for you and ensure you’re fully informed before moving forward.
Your adjustment is delivered with your consent using the Gonstead technique, applying purposeful, detailed movements to support better mobility and reduce discomfort.
All Gonstead adjustments are tailored to your specific needs and to help you return to optimum health, wellbeing and happiness.
How the Gonstead approach developed
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.
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.
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.
Chiropractic Symphony practitioners are proud members of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society, offering a methodical and compassionate approach to your care.
