Precision begins with understanding. Every visit starts with what your body is already telling us.
The Gonstead method is one of the most specific, thorough, and scientific approaches in chiropractic care.
Before any adjustment is made, we conduct a detailed analysis to identify the exact source of your problem, not just where it hurts. The five criteria, taken together, give us a triangulated read. Patients tend to come to us after they have tried everything else. The method is the same in every case: read the spine first; correct the one thing that matters; leave the rest alone.
Find the subluxation. Accept it where you find it. Correct it. And leave it alone. – Clarence S. Gonstead, D.C.
Weight-bearing full-spine x-rays measure the exact angle of misalignment.
Hands-on assessment, at rest and in motion, to find vertebrae that won't glide.
The Nervoscope detects uneven heat, a reliable signal of nerve pressure.
Posture, gait, and symmetry reveal where the spine is compensating.
Every signal becomes one specific, measurable plan, not a protocol.
Dr. Dennis Stolyarov is a Doctor of Chiropractic with a genuine passion for helping people move, feel, and live without pain. A graduate of Southern California University of Health Sciences, he trained extensively in the Gonstead Technique, one of the most thorough and precise systems in chiropractic care, and built his practice around it.
For Dr. Stolyarov, chiropractic is a calling rooted in a simple belief: when the spine is aligned and the nervous system is free to function, the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. He takes the time to truly understand each person's condition before ever making an adjustment.

No. Most patients describe relief, not pain. Some mild soreness after a first visit usually resolves within 24 hours.
It depends on what we find. After your first visit we'll walk you through a specific plan. We don't sell long protocols up front.
Yes, both. Pediatric and prenatal care are part of the practice, and x-rays are not required for either group.
