The Gonstead Concept of Chiropractic
What Exactly is the Gonstead Method of Chiropractic?
Born in the late 1900s, Dr. C. S. Gonstead, pioneered a new way of chiropractic treatment. Known as the “Miracle Man”, Dr. Gonstead used his background in mechanical engineering to study the human spine. He viewed the spine much like an intricate engineering marvel and through thousands of spinal cases along with his voracious study habits, created the Gonstead system, a specific, definitive approach to adjusting the spinal column.
With each patient, a detailed analysis is conducted, using instrumentation, digital palpation, motion palpation and an x-ray, to determine the best possible treatment for each individual case. Then, and only then, does the doctor adjust the spine, and always by hand. This “extra mile” service ensures that each and every patient leaves the chiropractic office satisfied and feeling great.
