Gonstead Chiropractic is named after its developer, Clarence Gonstead. It assesses your current state of health as well as your history of health. In particular, our assessment will consist of things like:

  • Observing your posture and movement patterns
  • Examining areas of your spine
  • X-ray analysis

Through this kind of assessment, our Chiropractor, Dr Nicholas Armitage, can identify any issues, including:

  • Tender muscles
  • Tight muscles
  • Pressure on nerves or inflamed nerves
  • How healthy your discs are
  • Swelling
  • Dysfunction in your spine

Once this is complete, we’ll know if chiropractic techniques are likely to be able to help you. At Hawthorne Chiropractic, we like to conduct a thorough evaluation using full spine X-rays and then make accurate adjustments in side lying and seated positions.
