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.
When chiropractic care is the right fit, we create a focused care plan designed to support improvement without excessive treatment.
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
By guiding a nervoscope down your spine, we look for changes in temperature that could suggest nerve-related concerns.
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
While moving your spine gently, we assess for any irregular motion between segments to help identify where support may be needed.
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.
Focused chiropractic realignment
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
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.
By the 1950s, Dr Gonstead’s method had gained significant traction, leading his team to educate fellow chiropractors and establish 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.
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.
