The Gonstead technique or Gonstead system is a chiropractic method developed by Clarence Gonstead in the 1940s. The technique focuses on hands-on adjustment and has been credited with expanding standard Diversified technique by implementing additional instrumentation including X-rays, Gonstead Radiographic Parallel, a measuring device, and the development of the pseudoscientific Nervo-Scope device. The technique gained popularity in the 1960s.
Prevalence
According to the American Chiropractic Association and the Board of Chiropractic Examiners, Gonstead technique is used by about 58% of chiropractors for approximately 25% of their patients.
