information on gonstead chiropractic

The Gonstead system that is employed at Vertical Wellness Spine and Health is unique because it is the most thorough and analytical chiropractic method. The Gonstead system is the most complete method of biomechanical analysis available for use by today’s doctors of chiropractic, and requires the highest level of training, mastery and practice.

Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead, the founder, practiced chiropractic from 1923 until 1978. He decided to become a chiropractor after chiropractic adjustments allowed his body to heal from a painful, crippling episode of rheumatoid arthritis. Using his background in mechanical engineering and extensive hours spent studying cadaver spines, he developed a unique approach to applying chiropractic care. His aproach brought him both national and international acclaim, and he was known as a “chiropractor’s chiropractor”

The Gonstead chiropractor goes beyond what many chiropractors consider a spinal assessment by conducting a thorough analysis of your spine using five criteria:

Visualization
Spinal Thermography
Static Palpation
Motion Palpation
X-ray Analysis

After a complete analysis, the Gonstead chiropractor is ready to deliver any necessary spinal adjustments. The focus of the Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise and accurate as possible, addressing only the problem areas.
