Gonstead Technique: Cervicals

This comprehensive seminar is designed for chiropractors who want to deepen their expertise in Gonstead cervical analysis and adjusting, combining the full spectrum of assessment tools—X-ray interpretation, static and motion palpation, and precise listing determination. Throughout the weekend, you will explore the entire cervical spine from Occiput to C7, refining your understanding of biomechanics, neurology, and clinical application according to the original Gonstead System.
A central focus of the seminar is the relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, and the importance of maintaining clarity between these pathways when developing listings and adjusting strategies. Using detailed case studies, you’ll learn how to apply the Gonstead approach to a variety of common and complex presentations, including headaches, dizziness, vertigo, numbness, otitis (acute and chronic), etc.
You’ll gain hands-on experience with step-by-step adjusting protocols for C2–C7, as well as in-depth analysis and adjusting procedures for the Atlas (C1) and Occiput (C0). The seminar also includes prone adjusting methods for the cervical spine, Atlas, and Occiput, along with a full review of chair and upper thoracic adjusting to help you integrate these skills confidently into practice.
Whether you’re new to Gonstead or looking to polish your technique, this seminar will strengthen your clinical reasoning, improve your adjusting precision, and provide you with practical tools to elevate your patient outcomes.
