WHAT IS THE GONSTEAD TECHNIQUE?

The Gonstead Technique is a highly specific and evidence-informed chiropractic method that focuses on structural correction of the spine. Unlike general chiropractic that may involve broad or repeated adjustments, Gonstead care is based on:

  • Detailed spinal analysis
  • Objective assessments
  • Focused adjustments to a single spinal segment per visit (if needed)

It’s known for being extremely effective, especially for patients seeking long-term relief from disc issues, nerve pain, postural problems, and chronic misalignment.

HOW GONSTEAD STANDS APART:

  • Full-Spine X-rays (as needed) to visualize alignment and structure
  • Palpation and motion analysis to feel where joints are restricted
  • Nervoscope thermography to detect inflammation and nerve pressure
  • Posture and weight-bearing evaluation
  • One clear, specific adjustment—not a “crack everything” approach

This is chiropractic without guesswork.

OUR GONSTEAD PROCESS:

  1. Consultation & Case History
  2. Full-Spine Digital X-rays (as needed)
  3. Posture + Structural Analysis
  4. Palpation + Thermographic Scanning (Nervoscope)
  5. Specific, Targeted Adjustment
  6. Progress Review + Reevaluation

Every adjustment is based on objective findings—and no two spines are ever treated the same.

FAQs:

Q: What makes Gonstead different from regular chiropractic?

A: Gonstead focuses on precision—one specific adjustment based on detailed analysis. It’s not about “popping everything” or using the same routine for every patient.

Q: Do you take full-spine X-rays?

A: Yes, if clinically appropriate. X-rays are a core part of Gonstead analysis and help us see the whole picture—safely and accurately.

Q: Is Gonstead safe for kids or older adults?

A: Absolutely. Gonstead adjustments are tailored to the individual’s size, age, and spinal health. Many families choose us for gentle, effective care.

Q: Will I need to come forever?

A: Not at all. We offer pressure-free care plans and check-in regularly to make sure your spine is improving—not just getting temporary relief.

If you’ve tried other types of chiropractic—or if you’re looking for a more thoughtful, structural approach—schedule your Gonstead consultation today.
