Gonstead Chiropractic Technique
The Gonstead System of Chiropractic is unique because it’s thorough, complete and specific in the diagnosis and correction of these subluxations. It is a safe and gentle technique suited to everyone from infants to the elderly.
The technique is named after its founder; Dr Clarence Gonstead. Dr Gonstead was a mechanical engineer who applied these mechanical principles to the human body.
After much study, reining and practice, the Gonstead technique was born!

The Gonstead Technique
Your Gonstead Chiropractor conducts a through examination using six criteria to evaluate the spine- Your health history
- Visualization
- Instrumentation
- Static Palpation
- Motion Palpation
- Radiographic analysis
Once all this has been completed, your Gonstead chiropractor can combine these important factors to determine which specific adjustments are necessary to correct your problem!
...............................................................
The Gonstead Adjustment
After a complete evaluation, your Gonstead Chiropractor will have a thorough understanding of your problem and its location. The specific, accurate and precise correction of the subluxation is known as the adjustment. Only the subluxated segments need to be corrected, other segments that show some signs such as tenderness are compensations and are best left alone.
The Gonstead adjustment is a specific force delivered by hand. This provides individual control over the adjustment so it can be varied to suit any situation and person. It is a very fast thrust, that is gentle and effective. The adjustment will restore proper function to your spine and nervous system. The body can then begin its natural healing process, and operate to its full potential! The examination used in the Gonstead system of analysis help determine if certain adjustments are required. There maybe times where your Gonstead chiropractor, once they have examined you, decide that an adjustment is not required.
Myotherapy
Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment and pain management of muscular pain and dysfunction. The Myotherapists’ aim is to restore the integrity of the muscular system. On your consultation, your Myotherapist will start by asking you about your problem.
They will then conduct a number of tests including, but not limited to:- Full postural analysis
- Range of motion testing
- Special orthopedic tests
- Palpation of muscles, joints and ligaments.
...............................................................
How will Myotherapy benefit you?
A thorough assessment means the CAUSE of the problem can be located and corrected, thereby reducing your symptoms and preventing recurrences.
A common condition treated by Myotherapists is trigger points. Trigger points are areas of tight muscle fibres. They can cause local or referred pain and can be caused by injury, emotional stress, physical stress or disease. Elimination of trigger points through Myotherapy can help reduce chronic and acute pain.
Other types of conditions that respond to Myotherapy treatments include:- Low Back Pain
- Neck Pain & Headaches
- 'Tennis/Golfer's' Elbow
- RSI
- Tendonitis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- 'Shin Splints'
- Acute Conditions
- Muscle Strains
- Wry Neck
- Frozen Shoulder
- Muscle Spasms
- Contusion/'Corky'
- Plantar Fasciitis
Orthotics/ Footlevers
At Chiropractic Solutions, we recognize that the feet are the foundation of the entire body. So any fallen arch or misalignment in the feet can lead to pain (now or later) in the feet, knees, hips, back or neck and cause these joints to wear out prematurely.
It is important that you have you feet assessed, adjusted and supported.
...............................................................
Associate Platinum Scanner from Footlevelers
Footlevelers is a company that has been manufacturing custom made orthotics called spinal Stabilizers for 55 years. Their new product - The Associate Platinum - is a special scanner that allows examination of your feet and each foots three arches. It then prints a color photo of your feet and highlights issues that can affect the rest of your body, and then recommend stabilizers made just for you!
These Stabilizers are particularly useful for those with recurrent feet, knee, hip and low back problems but can be used by athletes for injury prevention and performance enhancement.
...............................................................
What is the advantage of Footlevelers Stabilizers over standard orthotics?- Only Footlevelers Stabilizers provide support to all three arches of the foot.
- The combination of flexible, yet supportive and durable materials ensures that the Stabilizers will both guide the feet when walking and provide support for long periods when standing.
- A variety of styles are available for all activity levels. Full length and dress length Stabilizers fit a wide variety of shoe style.
- The flexible spinal Stabilizers encourage optimal muscle and nerve function by guiding feet through a more normal pattern with each step taken.
The process is relatively simple; after your Chiropractor performs a few tests, a scan is performed of your feet whilst standing. This scan then enables your Chiropractor to see if there is any uneven wear or problems with your feet. This information is then sent to Footlevelers laboratory, where it is used to create a special orthotic unique to you!
Treating all patients
Infants & Children
From the moment of conception, the growth and development of a baby is one of life’s most incredible processes. A baby grows from two small cells, evolving at an incredible rate over the next nine months before birth.
The nervous system is so important, that the first cells to form at about 7 hours after conception are the brain and spinal cord. The heart starts to beat at 24 days and the eyes are formed at 36 days. The nervous system gives commands on how everything is formed and controlled just as in an adult.
...............................................................
Pregnancy and Chiropractic
During pregnancy, there are many changes that occur in the expectant mother’s body to create the environment for the developing baby. As the baby develops, increasing strain is placed on the mother’s body, especially on the low back and pelvis. The following changes in can result in misaligned joints of the spine:- Uterus enlarges and expands forward
- Pelvic position changes
- Protruding abdomen and an increased back curve
- Posture changes
How can Chiropractic care help during pregnancy?
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association recommends that women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy to establish pelvic balance and optimize the room a baby has for development throughout pregnancy. With a balanced pelvis, babies have a greater chance of moving into the correct position for birth, and the crisis and worry associated with breech and posterior presentations may be avoided altogether. Optimal baby positioning at the time of birth also eliminates the potential for dystocia (difficult labor) and therefore results in easier and safer deliveries for both the mother and baby!
In addition to ensuring correct pelvic balance, Chiropractic care also helps maintain an optimally functioning nervous system. The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems including the reproductive system. Correction of spinal misalignments and nervous irritation helps the body work more effectively.
