Why we utilise Gonstead 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.
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.

How Gonstead chiropractic care may benefit your body
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.
We create care plans based on your individual needs, not templates, and always recommend only what’s truly helpful for your progress.
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
We use precise adjustments and Gonstead chiropractic methods to correct any misalignment.
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
The process behind the Gonstead method
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 begin by carefully exploring your health history, lifestyle, and concerns—your perspective is central to how we approach your care.
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
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.
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.
Your adjustment is delivered with your consent using the Gonstead technique, applying purposeful, detailed movements to support better mobility and reduce discomfort.
Each Gonstead adjustment is carefully matched to your individual situation, supporting your journey toward better health and overall wellbeing.
Where the Gonstead method began
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.
During the 1950s, as demand for his approach grew, Dr Gonstead’s team started sharing his method with other practitioners and went on to open 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.
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.
