Gonstead Technique at Lifeline Chiropractic
If you’ve ever felt like your care was rushed, random, or didn’t really lead anywhere, you’re not alone. The Gonstead Technique takes a different approach. It’s focused, thorough, and built to identify the exact source of your problem so we can help you feel better faster.
The team at Lifeline Chiropractic uses this technique because it delivers tangible results and lasting benefits. Whether you’re struggling with back pain, nerve issues, sciatica, or stress-related tension, Gonstead helps us adjust with purpose, not guesswork.
What’s Different About this Technique?
Developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead, this method is based on engineering principles. If your pelvis—the base of your spine—is misaligned, everything above it is able to shift and compensate. That’s why we examine your entire spine, even if your symptoms are limited to one area. Like a house with a crooked foundation, if the base isn’t level, the rest will always be under strain.
This technique is known for its precision. Unlike general chiropractic adjustments that may cover multiple areas, Gonstead doctors correct only what needs to be corrected. That means fewer adjustments, better results, and more trust in the process.
How Our Five-Step Process Works
Before we do anything, we go through a complete analysis that includes:
- Visualization: Noticing postural shifts and movement patterns
- Palpation: Hands-on exam to feel tightness or swelling
- Instrumentation: The Nervo-Scope® checks for temperature differences and inflammation
- X-ray Analysis: Full-spine films (if needed) help us see exactly what’s happening
- Case Management: We combine everything to create a care plan that fits your needs
Adjustments are gentle, specific, and safe. There’s no twisting or rotation of the neck or low back. Just intentional work to help your body move and function the way it’s supposed to.
