What Is Gonstead?
 

It is very well known that a misaligned vertebra causes dysfunction of the nerves that exit the spine and compression of these nerves produce the back pain that is so common in our society today. However, those same nerves also supply nerve function to every single organ and system of the human body

Gonstead Doctors have clinically found that by using this system they are able to create more specific adjustments that will provide quicker, more permanent, decompression the vital spinal nerves. These doctors notice more visceral (organ) changes than ever seen before.

The Gonstead System of Chiropractic has proven through the years to set New Standards in chiropractic. It is this superiority and specificity to addressing each of the components of the SUBLUXATION in the human body that has drawn us to the Gonstead System...bringing SPECIFIC chiropractic to our patients.

The “Miracle Man”, Dr. C. S. Gonstead (1898-1978) founded this technique of Chiropractic. His technique became the hallmark for the entire profession. With a background in mechanical en­gineering, he saw the human spine as an intricate engineering wonder and he studied it every chance he had. His work with thousands of spinal cases, his constant clinical studies of the spine, and his won innate knowledge of how the spine works, explains his integrity in finding, identifying and correcting subluxations no one else could.

We utilize the Gon­stead method, one of the most advanced techniques in the chiropractic world. Gonstead chiropractic is “precision” chi­ropractic. It is a system of me­ticulously analyzing the spine to find nerve pressure (sublux­ation) and then giving a pre­cise adjustment to the exact right bone, in the exact right direction (in 3 dimensions) and leaving the other normal bones alone.

Gonstead chiropractors do not give a general manipulation moving every bone in the spine. We give very precise adjustments be­cause we realize that adjust­ing bones that are not causing nerve pressure can actually cause problems as bad as the nerve pressure itself. The Gonstead technique is now taught in colleges all over the states, as well as Canada. Since the early 60’s the Gonstead technique is recognized throughout the global chiropractic community as one of the safest systems of evaluating and caring for the conditions related to the spine.

Although there have been many valuable tech­niques that have been devel­oped overall in the chiroprac­tic profession, the Gonstead System is considered a “gold standard” for chiropractic techniques because of its re­cord of safety and effective­ness in correcting vertebral subluxations.
