How Gonstead chiropractic care may benefit your body
We focus on relieving pain with a straightforward approach and well-considered 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
Our process involves a careful assessment of your spine and nervous system to identify the true source of discomfort.
We adjust it
Our chiropractic care is grounded in the Gonstead method, using focused techniques to support proper alignment.
We leave it alone
We allow your body the opportunity to rebalance and support natural nerve flow following an adjustment.
What Gonstead chiropractic may help with
While most people think chiropractors only help with back pain, our Gonstead chiropractic care may help relieve pain in various parts of your body, including:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Limb and joint pain
- Headaches & Migraines
- Dizziness
- Nerve pain
How Gonstead care is applied
The Gonstead method involves detailed analysis to understand how your nerves, muscles, and bones work together – far beyond a simple spinal adjustment.
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 begin by carefully exploring your health history, lifestyle, and concerns—your perspective is central to how we approach your care.
Visual assessment
As experts in posture and movement, we watch you move as we look for subtle signs of issues or imbalances in your musculoskeletal system.
Instrumental analysis
We use a nervoscope along the spine to detect temperature shifts, which may point to areas of nerve irritation.
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
We carefully guide your spine through motion to sense any imbalances or restricted movement between segments that may benefit from adjustment.
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.
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.
Your adjustment is delivered with your consent using the Gonstead technique, applying purposeful, detailed movements to support better mobility and reduce discomfort.
Gonstead care is personalised to suit your needs, with the goal of helping you feel your best—physically and emotionally.
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.
The Gonstead system is now taught at leading universities and used by chiropractors worldwide, widely regarded as a benchmark in chiropractic practice.
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.
