Welcome to the heart of Gonstead Chiropractic – the Gonstead System. This unique approach to spinal health is all about precision, science, and patient-centered care. Let’s delve into what makes it exceptional:
The Gonstead system utilizes advanced tools like the Nervoscope, a dual probe instrument that detects small changes in temperatures along the spine. This non-invasive tool helps in accurately pinpointing areas of inflammation and potential subluxations, guiding chiropractors to the specific problem areas that need attention
Gonstead chiropractors use comprehensive X-ray analysis to visualize the spine’s structure. This includes full-spine X-rays taken in a standing or weight-bearing posture, providing detailed information on vertebral misalignments, posture, and joint or disc integrity. The X-ray analysis is crucial in devising a precise and effective adjustment plan tailored to each patient’s specific misalignment.
Recognized as the gold standard for Chiropractic techniques, the Gonstead system is acclaimed for its efficiency in getting patients better faster. This speedier recovery process not only enhances patient satisfaction but also contributes to lower overall treatment costs.
All Gonstead practitioners are trained to adjust in a consistent manner, ensuring uniformity in treatment quality. This consistency aids in a reliable referral system, as patients can expect the same high standard of care from any Gonstead Chiropractor they visit.
The Gonstead system includes various specially designed benches to cater to different patient needs. This includes benches that allow for easier adjustments for diverse patient profiles, as well as a bench that lowers the person down gently, which is particularly beneficial for those who are injured, elderly, or have mobility issues.
The Gonstead method employs a five-step analysis process(links to the 5 step part of website), including X-rays, visualization, instrumentation (Nervoscope), static palpation, and motion palpation. This comprehensive approach ensures that the correct place for adjustment is accurately determined, taking into account all aspects of the patient’s spinal health and alignment.
The Gonstead technique is one of the few that strictly adheres to the original principles of Chiropractic care as established by D.D. Palmer. This adherence reinforces its reputation for providing authentic and effective chiropractic care.

Gonstead Chiropractic is esteemed as a pinnacle of excellence in manual spinal adjustments, embodying the highest standards in the chiropractic field.
This technique aligns closely with the original principles of chiropractic care as established by D.D. Palmer, the discipline’s founder in 1895. Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead, who began his chiropractic practice in 1923 in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, championed the belief that the most effective way to analyze and correct spinal misalignments is through skilled, hands-on chiropractic methods.
Dr. Gonstead’s unique approach and remarkable results in patient care led to his widespread recognition and the establishment of the Gonstead Clinic of Chiropractic in 1964. This clinic, the largest of its kind, was equipped with extensive facilities including a large waiting area to seat over 100 patients, 11 adjusting rooms, and advanced x-ray and lab facilities. It also featured a dedicated seminar area for training chiropractors in the Gonstead technique, reflecting Dr. Gonstead’s commitment to education and excellence in chiropractic care.
The Gonstead approach is deeply rooted in the principles of biomechanics. Dr. Gonstead, with his background in mechanical engineering, understood the crucial role of the pelvis as the body’s foundation. He recognized that misalignments in the pelvis or spinal column can lead to significant health issues, including pain. These misalignments, known as “Subluxations” in chiropractic terminology, can exert pressure on the discs and nerves in the spinal region. This can result in various conditions like herniated or slipped discs and nerve compression, ultimately disrupting the normal transmission of nerve impulses throughout the body.
By addressing these spinal misalignments through precise adjustments, Gonstead Chiropractic aims to alleviate pain and restore health by ensuring optimal nerve function and spinal health.
