There are many different styles of chiropractic techniques. The Gonstead technique of chiropractic is a method of chiropractic assessment and adjustments that is very methodical, precise, and scientific. Also, the technique takes more time to learn than other methods. As a result, a Gonstead Chiropractor is often called the "gold standard" of chiropractic. The Gonstead adjustments themselves are more precise than a typical chiropractic adjustment, which allows the doctor to use a more gentle thrust, while still moving the bone. The precision of this adjustment also results in a higher degree of clearance of nerve interference caused by the VSC (Vertebral Subluxation Complex).

The Gonstead Chiropractor is also unique because doctors who practice this technique utilize a Nervoscope, which is a hand-held instrument that detects temperature differences from one segment of the spine to the next, giving the doctor an objective component to their analysis. In addition to using the Nervoscope, a Gonstead Chiropractor also use the tools of static palpation, motion palpation, x-ray, visualization, and symptomatology to determine which particular vertebra is subluxated and which direction (on three different vectors) that vertebra has moved.
