The Chiropractic Experience
For over a decade, Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic has been helping the Kennesaw community restore and maintain their health in a natural way. Our mission is to create a compassionate, supportive environment where patients feel comfortable, informed, and empowered to take charge of their own wellness—living with vitality and freedom from pain.
The Gonstead Approach
The Gonstead Method is based on very specific hand adjustments of the spinal joints. By performing adjustments by hand, the doctor can sense the patient’s relaxation and individualize the care accordingly. No mechanical instrument can match the sensitivity or timing of a hand adjustment from a skilled chiropractor. The Gonstead Method was developed by Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead, who practiced chiropractic from 1923 to 1978 in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. His system brought him both national and international acclaim, and he came to be known as the “chiropractor’s chiropractor.” His practice drew patients from all over the world and is still the largest clinic in existence to date. Dr. Gonstead’s brilliant mind and lifelong experience of adjusting more than one million patients enabled him to develop and refine his technique, which is now taught and practiced by doctors of chiropractic all over the world.
