Gonstead Chiropractic Technique Utilized at Grappin Clinics of North Port and Bradenton, FL

Hi I’m Dr. Robin and I want to answer a question that’s commonly asked of me either on my Facebook page or through email or on my website and that is what is the difference in the technique of chiropractic that you do versus the majority of chiropractors.

Gonstead himself was highly proficient with mechanical engineering and looked at things from a different perspective.

Number one he utilized x-rays to help identify mechanical misalignment in the spine, in the neck, the mid-back, and in the lower back.

He also used mechanical instruments, electronic instruments, to help figure out and get an objective measurement of heat differential in the spine, and it goes on and on.

He developed a listing system that tells us exactly how to reposition a bone back with a highly specific, precise adjustment, all without twisting or rotational manipulation of the spine.

It is a hard technique to learn to be proficient at. But nonetheless, it is considered the gold standard of chiropractic. I’m very proud to be practicing Gonstead chiropractic.
