Gonstead Chiropractic.

A specific five-point examination guides each adjustment. See the method, fees and answers before you book.

The Gonstead method

Scroll to move through five scenes, or choose a chapter.

It all starts with the spine.

Every step, bend and turn runs through it — and so does your nervous system. A spine that moves well is the foundation of a body that works well.

Segment by segment.

Twenty-four vertebrae, each with its own job. We break the spine down section by section — because "back pain" is never the whole spine, it is a specific level.

The subluxation: where movement stops.

When one segment loses its alignment and stops moving freely, the nerves around it are irritated and the body compensates. That is the restriction you feel as pain and stiffness.

One specific adjustment.

By hand, only where the evidence points — and nowhere else. A precise correction that restores motion to the exact segment that lost it.

Recovery: a happy spine.

With the joint moving and the irritation settling, the body does what it was built to do — heal. Movement returns, and this time it holds.

The five criteria, in detail.

Most back pain gets a guess. Yours gets a five-point diagnostic system — so when we adjust, we adjust the right segment, in the right direction, at the right time.

01

Visualization

Reading posture, gait and symmetry for the subtle deviations that point to where trouble starts.

02

Instrumentation

A dual-probe Nervoscope glides down the spine, reading small side-to-side differences in skin temperature that flag a level worth a closer look.

03

Static palpation

Feeling the spine at rest for swelling, tenderness and tight muscles around each segment.

04

Motion palpation

Moving the spine through its ranges to find joints that are locked or not travelling freely.

05

X-ray analysis

Full-length, weight-bearing radiographs reveal exact alignment and disc integrity under real load.

No hidden fees. No surprise add-ons.

You will always know the cost before any treatment begins. Ranges below cover most cases — your exact plan is confirmed at your report.

The Aligned Honesty Promise

If the examination shows chiropractic is not right for you, we will tell you on day one and point you to who can help. You are paying us to find out what is wrong — not to be sold a plan.

  • No open-ended plans. You get a number of visits and a way to measure progress.
  • No adjustment the examination has not earned.
  • No lock-ins and no pressure on care plans — they are recommended after the assessment, never before.
  • Every price confirmed with you before treatment starts.

Common questions.

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Comfort varies from person to person. The Gonstead approach is specific and controlled: no twisting your whole body and no forcing. Some mild soreness afterwards, similar to after exercise, can occur for the first day or two.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on how long the problem has been building and what the examination shows. After your first assessment you will get a clear recommendation — including how many visits, how often, and how we will measure progress. No open-ended plans.

Is it safe for children, seniors or pregnancy?

We adapt the technique to the body in front of us — gentler, more specific setups for children, older spines and pregnancy. The five-point examination always comes first, so we know what should be adjusted and what should not. No treatment is risk-free. We will talk you through what applies to you before we begin. And we will tell you if you are better served elsewhere.

Do I need an X-ray?

Only when your case needs one. Weight-bearing X-rays show alignment under real load, which guides precise care — but if you have recent films, bring them and we may not need new ones.

What is the difference between chiropractic and physiotherapy?

Chiropractic focuses on correcting spinal joint misalignment affecting the nervous system; physiotherapy focuses on rehabilitating muscles and movement. They complement each other — our care plans often include rehab-style strengthening once your spine holds its alignment.

Can I claim insurance?

Some Malaysian insurers and employee benefit plans cover chiropractic care. We will issue receipts and reports you can submit — check with your provider, and message us if they need any supporting documents.
