Developed by chiropractor Clarence Gonstead over the course of 50 years of practice, this mechanically inclined technique to this day remains a cornerstone of contemporary chiropractic practice. He utilized x-ray analysis, static and motion palpation, spinal thermography, and visualization to ensure he could be as precise as possible in his analysis. Great care is taken to ensure a bio-mechanically correct position and precise thrust to provide the most accurate and painless adjustment possible. Gonstead technique is where the adjustment of the cervical spine while seated first originated.
