WHAT IS GONSTEAD?
Gonstead isn't about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all approaches. It's about specificity in analysis and individualised care.
The Gonstead chiropractic system is pure chiropractic, renowned for its unparalleled precision, meticulous analysis, and holistic approach to healing. What sets Gonstead apart is not just its adjustment techniques, but the comprehensive principles of case management that guide every aspect of patient care.
The Gonstead system views the spine as a highly integrated neuro-musculoskeletal complex, addressing both anatomical and physiological aspects. Unlike other modern methods that focus solely on symptomatic areas, Gonstead delves deeper, recognising that changes in one part of the spine can ripple throughout the entire body. By examining the whole spine, Gonstead practitioners uncover subluxations—vertebral misalignments causing nerve interference—that may be the root cause of dysfunction elsewhere.
