Our Gonstead Technique

Illustration of spineNamed after its developer, Clarence Gonstead. His “foundation principle” explains how a subluxation pattern in one area of the spine can produce compensatory changes in another. As your Chiropractors, we’ll use this technique to get you the best results possible!

A Thorough Evaluation Helps Get The Best Results

After studying your health history, we conduct a complete examination. This generally includes full spine X-rays and precise analysis. Using a small heat-sensing instrument, subluxation patterns are revealed by slight differences in temperature. Finally, we use our fingertips to “palpate” or feel the location of individual bones and how they may differ from their normal position.

We Provide A Full Spine Correction

With a complete picture of your spine it’s time to make the needed corrections.

To adjust your lower spine and pelvis, we’ll have you lie on your side. Subluxations in the middle back are corrected as you assume a comfortable position lying face down. When you are seated, we can restore the integrity of your spine without twisting or rotating your neck.

Sometimes you’ll hear a slight “popping” sound that we call cavitation.

Safe and Effective Chiropractic Care

The Gonstead Technique is acknowledged as one of the safest systems of evaluating and caring for the spine.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let your us know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
