Why Gonstead?
A Gonstead chiropractor carefully analyses a number of factors to determine the precise cause of any nerve irritation. We take into account the following 6 criteria to determine where you are suffering with nerve irritation and how best to correct it for the greatest response.
- Detailed history
- Instrumentation (or the tickle-o-scope to the kids)
- Visualisation
- Static palpation
- Motion palpation
- X-ray analysis
We then carefully determine the most accurate way to correct the subluxation and nerve irritation and correct it by hand using a specific and gentle adjustment. This adjustment aims to restore optimal joint function and thereby normalise the communication between the brain, joint, muscles and organs involved.

Our digital x-ray machine allows us to clearly see your whole spine. This allows us to confirm what we found on you as well as tells us how best to fix these problems. Please note: x-rays are taken on an as needs basis which means some people will not require x-rays during their visit.
The nervoscope is a tool to help us detect the precise location of any inflammation in your spine.
The Hilo moves slowly from an upright position to laying down. It allows for even the least mobile patients to be adjusted and can be used to adjust any spinal region as well as some extremity joints. The kids love it and some of our adult patients want one at home!

The pelvic bench is usually used for adjusting the lower back.
The cervical chair is used for assessing your spine and many other joints if required. It is also used to adjust the neck.
The knee chest can be used for adjusting any spinal segment. It doesn't look pretty but it is used to get deep and lasting adjustments making it a favourite of many Gonstead chiropractors.

The History of Gonstead
Dr Clarence Gonstead (Chiropractor) started his career as a mechanical engineer. When he became a chiropractor his engineering background meant he took great pains to analyse every patient from this detailed perspective with the principle of working from a stable foundation. He taught himself and then others how to achieve the most specific corrections of these subluxations possible. The more specific, the better the results he achieved.
