The Gonstead System of Chiropractic
The Gonstead System is a specific and effective method of chiropractic. It is used to analyse and adjust the spine when necessary, removing interference that is impacting the clarity and efficiency of the nervous system. It is a gentle and safe technique, suited to everyone from infants to the elderly.
​
Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead developed the system over a span of his 50 years of clinical practice and millions of adjustments. He became known as the "chiropractor's chiropractor" and was begged by his colleagues to teach them what he was doing that was getting people even with the most severe and unusual cases so well.
​
Despite being trained in several techniques, Dr. Caruso has chosen to utilise only the Gonstead System as it best suits their pursuit for excellence, specificity and results when taking care of people. She has attend several specialised seminars and conferences each year so that she can provide patients always with the best care. Dr Caruso has also been selected as a Fellow in the Gonstead technique which is an honour and allows her the privilege of teaching the technique world wide.
