Chiropractic Care Focused on Nervous System Health - Gonstead Chiropractic
At our practice, chiropractic care is centred on supporting the health and function of your nervous system—the body’s primary communication network. Using the Gonstead approach, we take a precise, thorough, and individualised approach to understanding how your spine is functioning and how it may be influencing the way your body feels, moves, and adapts to everyday life.
The Gonstead technique emphasises detailed assessment, including posture, movement, neurological indicators, and imaging when clinically appropriate. This allows us to identify areas of spinal dysfunction and deliver specific, gentle adjustments designed to support joint movement and reduce mechanical and neurological stress on the body.
Neuroscience research, including the work of Dr Heidi Haavik, has highlighted the close relationship between spinal function and brain–body communication. This research suggests that spinal adjustments may influence how the brain processes sensory information, supports motor control, and helps regulate the body’s responses to physical and environmental stress. By supporting clearer communication within the nervous system, chiropractic care aims to enhance the body’s ability to adapt and function efficiently.
People seek chiropractic care for a wide range of concerns, including:
Spinal and disc-related injuries
Headaches and neck tension
Low back and pelvic discomfort
Sciatic-type symptoms
Postural strain and movement restrictions
General stiffness or reduced mobility
Rather than masking symptoms, our approach focuses on identifying underlying mechanical and neurological contributors that may be affecting how the body is functioning. Care is always tailored to the individual, with techniques chosen to suit your presentation, comfort, and goals.
Our chiropractic care is gentle, evidence-informed, and patient-centred. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing ongoing physical demands, or looking to support your nervous system and movement health, we offer a calm, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and cared for.
