What actually makes Gonstead different? Two things.

First, it’s all about the disc. That’s the true weight bearing structure of your spine, not the joints at the back. A lot of adjustments rotate the spine to get movement from those back joints. Useful for range of motion, but it doesn’t change what’s happening at the disc.

Gonstead adjusts with no rotation, moving the bone directly back onto the disc where it belongs. That’s the foundation.

Second, it’s specific. We don’t guess. Careful analysis tells us exactly which bone, and in which direction. We adjust that one bone, in one direction, and leave the rest alone. No stirring up new areas each visit, no adjusting broadly just to create movement.

Disc focused. Precise. That’s the whole difference, and it’s why the results last.

My neck can’t handle a twist.

I found that out a long time ago, and it’s part of what drew me toward Gonstead Chiropractic in the first place. Once I understood why, it changed the way I adjust every patient who sits in my chair.

Here’s the simple version. Every bone in your spine is meant to sit directly on the disc beneath it, specifically on the nucleus, the soft centre that acts like a cushion and a pivot point. When a bone shifts even slightly off that centre, one side gets squashed, and the other bulges out. The fibres holding everything in place end up stretched on one side, compressed on the other. Over time, that causes pain and weakens the structure.

In the Gonstead system, we adjust straight, from the back of the bone forward, with no rotation. The goal is precise: get the bone back onto the centre of the disc, sitting evenly, so it can bear weight the way it’s designed to and actually start to heal.

It’s also why this approach can work on spines that seem complex or delicate: old injuries, fusions, long-standing degeneration. The disc is always the target.

Everyone around you is getting sick.

Influenza A. Influenza B. Swine flu. Covid. I’ve seen them all in the past week.

But here’s what nobody talks about - some people in the same house, the same office, the same room, don’t get it at all.

Same virus. Different bodies.

That difference is not luck. It’s function.

If someone you know keeps getting sick, send them this.

Not to scare them. Not to sell them anything. Just because understanding why makes all the difference, and what they can actually do about it.

Chiropractic has a lineage. A philosophy passed from one set of hands to the next. D.D. Palmer founded it. B.J. Palmer developed it. Clarence Gonstead perfected the clinical application. Alex Cox preserved it and taught it with integrity.

Bill Droessler and John Cox brought it to me.

I am standing in a line of men who believed the body has an extraordinary capacity to heal, when the spine is specific, the analysis is thorough, and the adjustment is purposeful.

That is what I carry into practice every single day.

Happy Father’s Day to the fathers of Gonstead chiropractic, and to the men who made me the chiropractor I am.

And an even bigger Happy Father’s Day to my own father, love you Dad.

The man who started it all in 1895. A single adjustment changed everything. Every chiropractor alive today traces back to this moment.

He took his father’s discovery and built a profession from it. Without B.J., chiropractic doesn’t survive its own beginning.

The chiropractor’s chiropractor. He demanded excellence and to know where and how to make the perfect adjustment. His passion and research built the most famous chiropractic clinic in the world. That standard is what I practice by every day.

He kept the Gonstead method alive, along with his brother Doug and passed it on with precision and conviction. He devoted everything to the Gonstead clinic, especially his time whilst still being a father to incredible children.
He also happens to be the loveliest man alive and one who I am so blessed to have learnt from and call a friend.

Bill Droessler and John Cox brought it to me. I owe these men everything. They are true mentors whom I still call on for advice to this day, and I am so lucky to call them friends.

Most people have never seen a table like this.

This is the Gonstead knee chest table, and it’s my favourite piece of equipment in the clinic for a reason.

No gimmicks. No mechanisms. NO Y STRAPS! Just gravity, precision, and the skill to use them together to move a specific bone, on a specific disc, in exactly the right direction.

Your pain is here. The cause might be somewhere else.

If you’re not looking at the whole spine, you’re guessing. Read why X-rays change everything in our latest blog.

Most people think chiropractors just “crack backs.”

But before I adjust anything, I use this instrument called a Nervoscope.

Why?

Because irritated nerves can create subtle changes in temperature and blood flow along the spine. This helps me detect areas of neurological stress and guide care with far more precision.

It’s not about guessing.
It’s about understanding what your nervous system is doing.

I’ve just written a new blog explaining:
• what the Nervoscope is
• how it works
• why I use it
• and why specificity matters in Gonstead Chiropractic

Dancers demand more from their bodies. They should demand more from their care should too.

Dancer’s strength and flexibility are remarkable, but when one area isn’t moving properly, the whole system compensates more than most athletes, this is why being specific is so important when finding the problem as well as correcting it.

Whether you have had an injury and are experiencing symptoms, or looking to prevent injury and function and dance to your bodies optimal potential, specific care is imperative for dancers of all levels.

Whilst symptoms may be the reason you initially seek care, our focus is always on identifying and correcting the underlying cause within the spine and nervous system, not just the symptom itself.

Find it. Fix it. Accept it. Leave it alone.
