The Gonstead System is recognized worldwide as the most thorough and complete method of chiropractic analysis and adjustment. Developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead, this approach uses five key criteria to precisely identify and correct spinal misalignments.
Unlike general chiropractic techniques that may adjust multiple areas, the Gonstead method focuses on finding the specific vertebral subluxation — the exact point where nerve interference is occurring. This precision means fewer adjustments, faster results, and more lasting correction.
The five criteria used in the Gonstead analysis include visualization, instrumentation (using the Nervoscope to detect uneven heat distribution), static palpation, motion palpation, and X-ray analysis. Together, these provide a comprehensive picture of your spinal health.
At Kind Chiropractic, our Gonstead-certified chiropractors apply this systematic approach to every patient, ensuring that each adjustment is targeted, specific, and effective.
