Gonstead Technique
The Gonstead Method
The Gonstead chiropractic technique is a highly specific and specialized approach to chiropractic care that focuses on the biomechanics of the spine. What sets it apart is its systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment, which includes a thorough analysis of patient history, visual assessment, instrumentation, and X-rays to locate and correct subluxations. The adjustments are made using specific manual techniques, tailored to the individual patient's needs. This allows for a more accurate and effective adjustment, resulting in improved function and overall health. The Gonstead technique is known for its precision and attention to detail, making it a preferred approach for many patients seeking chiropractic care.

Gonstead Analysis
Visualization
By visualizing the spine and feeling for areas of misalignment, the chiropractor can more precisely identify the subluxations that need to be adjusted
Instrumentation
An essential component of the Gonstead Technique, the Nervo-scope helps us accurately locate inflammation in the spine and helps guide us towards providing precise adjustments
Static Palpation
Use of hands to assess the patient's spine for areas of tenderness, swelling, or misalignment. By running their fingers down the spine, the chiropractor can feel for subtle changes in the texture, muscle tone, and motion of each vertebra
Motion Palpation
Use of hands to feel the movement and position of each spinal segment to identify any restrictions or misalignments
