The Gonstead technique requires years of post graduate study and training. The Gonstead concept of chiropractic technique begins with the body’s structural foundation and the intervertebral discs. Maximum balance and stability in the spinal column may be achieved when the pelvis and leg lengths are level. Foundational unleveling, intervertebral misalignments and motion disturbances, as well as nerve dysfunction are primary considerations in Gonstead chiropractic health care and patient management. Injury to the intervertebral disc is of paramount importance in causing spinal subluxations, and therefore Gonstead adjustments are designed for maximum effect to the discs, while also working to restore alignment and motion.
