About the Gonstead Method
The Gonstead method is a precise, biomechanical approach to understanding spinal structure. Developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead, this technique has become recognized as one of the most thorough systems in chiropractic care.
What sets Gonstead apart is its emphasis on thorough analysis before any care is provided. Practitioners use a five-step process to gather comprehensive information about each individual's spinal condition:
- 1 Visualization — Postural analysis and gait assessment to identify structural patterns.
- 2 Static Palpation — Feeling the spine in a stationary position to detect areas of concern.
- 3 Motion Palpation — Assessing movement patterns and identifying restrictions.
- 4 Instrumentation — Using a Nervoscope to detect temperature differences along the spine.
- 5 X-Ray Analysis — Full-spine imaging when clinically indicated to visualize structural alignment.
