Dr. C.S. Gonstead

Pioneer in Chiropractic

Dr. Gonstead was a pioneer in the chiropractic profession. The Gonstead System was founded in 1923 and has stood the test of time. His work has been the foundation of numerous other chiropractic techniques. His engineering background and precise attention to detail made his biomechanical approach very successful. All of our chiropractors are proud to exclusively utilize the Gonstead Chiropractic method at Keystone Chiropractic.

The Miracle Man

Dr. Gonstead was famous for the incredible results that he was able to obtain with his patients. So much so that he built a hotel and an airstrip next to his clinic in Mt. Horeb, WI due to the amount of people who would come from other cities, states, and countries to seek his care. We have been blessed to have numerous patients travel hours (and even internationally) because we utilize the Gonstead method.

Gonstead chiropractors utilize full spine x-ray analysis on the initial visit. They use the nervoscope (skin temperature thermometer) on every visit to determine when a segment may need an adjustment and when to leave it alone. Gonstead doctors never use prepaid, long treatment plans. The goal is to give as much time as possible between adjustments. Very few patients will need weekly visits unless there are significant health issues or demanding physical activities. Most people can go 1-2 months between maintenance checks.

"Find it, accept it where you find it, correct it, and leave it alone." CS Gonstead
