Course Outline
This comprehensive seminar is designed for chiropractors who want to deepen their expertise in Gonstead lumbar and pelvic analysis and adjusting. Combining the full spectrum of Gonstead assessment tools, including X-ray analysis, static and motion palpation, and precise listing determination, you will develop a deeper understanding of lumbar and pelvic biomechanics and their clinical applications according to the original Gonstead System.
A central focus of the seminar is the assessment and correction of biomechanical dysfunctions involving the lumbar spine, pelvis, and sacrum. Through detailed instruction and extensive hands-on practice, you will refine your adjusting skills using side posture and prone techniques, with particular attention to patient positioning, contact points, and precise adjustment delivery.
The seminar will also explore the clinical assessment and management of common and complex conditions, including sciatica, femoral neuralgia, lumbar disc herniations, and scoliosis. You will learn how to apply Gonstead principles to challenging clinical presentations, including patients with significant disc herniations, while developing your clinical reasoning and understanding of appropriate treatment strategies. Additional topics include pelvic biomechanics, leg length assessment, and the clinical considerations surrounding heel lift recommendations.
Throughout the weekend, practical case studies and interactive discussions will help bridge the gap between theory and everyday clinical practice. You’ll gain valuable insights into clinical decision-making, patient assessment, and the selection of appropriate adjusting techniques for different presentations.
Whether you’re new to Gonstead or looking to refine your existing skills, this seminar will strengthen your analytical abilities, improve your adjusting precision, and provide you with practical tools to confidently integrate lumbar and pelvic Gonstead techniques into your daily practice.
