The Gonstead system focuses on the body’s structural foundation and intervertebral discs. A Gonstead chiropractor primarily considers spinal misalignments, nerve dysfunction, foundational imbalance, and motion disturbances as factors that affect a patient’s chiropractic health. Gonstead adjustments are typically designed to have maximum impact on the discs, helping restore the spine’s natural alignment and movement.
Gonstead chiropractors use in-depth methods to examine and analyze various factors that can effectively uncover characteristics of intervertebral disc lesions, full spine and pelvis alignment, neurological effects of vertebral subluxation and overall health.
Gonstead chiropractors use various examination procedures such as visualization of spinal posture, motion, and gait, static and dynamic palpation of bone structures and tissues, and instrumentation techniques such as para-spinal skin temperature assessment.
Gonstead chiropractors use a more thorough method for spinal analysis, a system far more complex compared to what other chiropractors use.
