The Gonstead
Difference
Dr. C.S. Gonstead graduated from Palmer College
of Chiropractic in 1923. Soon after, he started developing the most thorough, comprehensive, and specific form of chiropractic
for the analysis and correction of vertebral subluxations (misaligned spinal segments). For over forty years, thousands
of patients traveled to his Mt. Horeb, WI clinic to get adjusted for problems associated with a variety of health issues.
The sickest of the sick found health through the Gonstead Method of chiropractic care. Having seen the great results
achieved by Dr. Gonstead's work, other chiropractors requested that he teach them his unique approach. The Gonstead
Method has been shown to be the "gold standard" in chiropractic…a standard by which all other chiropractic techniques
measure themselves. It is this superiority and specificity to correcting spinal problems that has drawn Dr. Van
Ness to the Gonstead Method…bringing the BEST in chiropractic to the northwest suburbs.
The Gonstead Method specifically focuses
on the health of the disc. When a spinal bone becomes subluxated, the disc (shock absorber between
the bones) can be compressed and bulge, thus irritating surrounding spinal nerves. The bone must be realigned
for health to be restored. A specific Gonstead adjustment is the most natural, least invasive approach to correcting
subluxations and improving overall health.
