Gonstead?<\/h2>[vc_column_text]Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead developed and perfected the Gonstead Method while practicing chiropractic for over 55 years.\u00a0 His great devotion to chiropractic began after he suffered an acute case of rheumatoid arthritis.\u00a0 After traditional medical treatments had failed him for months, he was treated by his aunt&#8217;s chiropractor.\u00a0 The results were exceptional!<\/p>\n<p>He graduated from chiropractic school in 1923.\u00a0 After working for his mentor briefly, he opened his own practice in Mt. Horeb, WI and practiced there until his death in 1978.\u00a0 With patients coming from all over the world to seek his help, he had to increase his clinic size 3 different times.\u00a0 To accommodate his patient load of 500-700 per day, his clinic was equipped with 11 adjusting rooms, a waiting room with a capacity for 128, a hotel, and an airstrip.<\/p>\n<p>His help was sought by so many due to the extraordinary results that his chiropractic technique was achieving for his patients.\u00a0 Thanks to having a background in engineering, he saw the spine as an engineering wonder.\u00a0 To further his knowledge beyond what was available at the time, he conducted extensive research and case studies.\u00a0 All of this led to some very important finds for the chiropractic profession and more specifically for the Gonstead technique.<\/p>\n<p>One very important finding that he is credited with is the realization that the pelvis can move.\u00a0 This paved the way for a very important principle of the Gonstead Method.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Importance of a Level Foundation<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>He understood something very significant.\u00a0 Slight imperfections in the foundation (your pelvis), can cause much larger deviations above.<\/p>\n<p>His great emphasis on analysis and specificity brought an extreme level of personalized care to each patient.\u00a0 He was devoted to <strong>finding the cause,\u00a0 <\/strong>correcting it through precise adjustments, and letting the body heal itself.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;2em&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;2em&#8221;]<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"columns_wrap sc_columns columns_nofluid sc_columns_count_2\"><div class=\"column-1_2 sc_column_item sc_column_item_1 odd first\">[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;2.2em&#8221;]<h2 class=\"sc_title sc_title_regular\">Why I Chose to Specialize in The Gonstead Method<\/h2>[vc_column_text]The answer is simple.
