Gonstead Chiropractic

The Gonstead system of Chiropractic was developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead and is renowned worldwide as the most specific and precise system in Chiropractic. The fundamental principle of the Gonstead system is finding the root cause of the problem which may be causing pain and nerve irritation, and correcting it with specific adjustments – restoring function to the area and allowing the body to heal. Unlike more general approaches, the Gonstead approach is highly systematic, ensuring there is no room for any guesswork; yielding the best lasting results in patients within the shortest amount of time.

What to expect with Gonstead Chiropractic?

A typical consult would always involve a detailed history taking to understand the patient’s problem. This is then followed by a visual spinal examination, where the patient’s posture is assessed. Specialised instrumentation is then used to specifically detect nerve pressure or irritation. This is then followed by palpation where the function and movement of each individual segment in the spine is assessed and challenged. This allows us to identify possible misalignments or potential areas of dysfunction that would be causing the patient’s presented symptoms. Gonstead chiropractors are hunting for any localised inflammation, muscle tension and restriction at this step. If medical imaging such as X Rays are deemed necessary for further investigation, the patient would then be referred out to an imaging centre nearby for bulk-billed X Rays to be taken. This allows us to work safely and with this information, we can then deliver adjustments with the highest level of accuracy and specificity – achieving the best results in the quickest amount of time.
