Named after its developer, Clarence Gonstead (1898-1978), this approach came from his engineering background. His “foundation principle” explains how a subluxation pattern in one area of the spine can produce compensatory changes in another. Analysis includes instrumentation, digital palpation, motion palpation, visualisation and x-ray.

Chiropractic care goes far beyond a simple system of “putting vertebrae back in place” at the Hampton Chiropractic Centre. It is rather, a scientific program of carefully analysing the patient and their health problems on the basis of available information and then deciding on the proper corrective steps.

The Gonstead adjustment is given with care and specificity; only the problem areas of the spine are addressed. The specific adjustments help return the spinal joints to their proper position and motion resulting in proper nerve functioning and improved health.

Gonstead adjustments are incredibly safe. Our patients range from young infants and children to the old aged, pregnant women, celebrities and professional sports people. The specificity used in the Gonstead system allows for the greatest possible effectiveness and safety.
