We offer the Gonstead Technique, which is only utilized by a few chiropractors in Pembroke Pines.
This comprehensive, scientific method uses a thorough system of analysis and chiropractic adjustment that is unlike any other technique in existence.
Back pain, neck tension, or headaches can feel like static in the background of your daily life: Something you try to ignore until it drowns out everything else. At Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic, your chiropractor in Pembroke Pines, FL, our goal is to turn that noise down and help you move through life with more comfort and control. Whether you're dealing with long-term discomfort or a recent injury, we’re here to help you find the right signal again.
Our clinic uses the Gonstead Method, a specific system of chiropractic care that focuses on accurate spinal assessment and hands-on adjustments. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we assess posture, spinal motion, and X-rays to locate the exact area needing attention. Think of it like tuning an instrument—you don’t twist every string, just the one that’s out of line.
We work with people of all ages and lifestyles. From office workers with stiff necks to athletes with lower back strain, we take time to understand what’s affecting your body and movement. If you’ve been in a car accident or are recovering from a fall, we can also support your recovery with careful adjustments and practical advice. Our care fits into real life, not just ideal scenarios.
The first time you walk through our doors, we’ll start with a full consultation, including a detailed spinal exam and, if needed, imaging. We’ll explain our findings and outline a care plan. Your body tells a story, and we take time to read it right.
The spine protects the nervous system, which runs the rest of the show. When the spine is misaligned, it’s like a pinched wire in a circuit—it can affect how your whole system works. That’s why adjustments aren’t just about cracking backs. They’re about improving communication between your brain and body, which can lead to better movement, less pain, and sometimes even improved sleep or digestion.
We believe chiropractic care is part of a larger picture. Our team will work with you on stretches, posture tips, and daily habits to keep your progress going. Regular adjustments can help maintain alignment and reduce the chance of future flare-ups. It’s not about chasing pain—it’s about staying ahead of it.
If your body’s been giving you warning signals, don’t ignore them. At Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic, your chiropractor in Pembroke Pines, FL, we’re ready to help you get back in tune. Call us to set up a visit, and let’s figure out the next steps together—clearly, directly, and in a way that fits your life.

Unfortunately, most people associate a “popping” or “cracking” noise as being on the same level as an adjustment. Certainly, If you rotate your spine hard enough you will likely create a loud noise! However, this in no way constitutes an adjustment and may prove to be more harmful than good!
Adjustments are specific! For instance, the Gonstead technique utilizes a listing system that helps the doctor determine how the misalignment is occurring and the best way to make the correction.
It’s important to adjust the bone in the proper direction in accordance to how the bone is misaligned. It’s of even greater importance that the adjustment reduces and eventually eliminates nerve pressure and restores vital nerve function.
Chiropractors restore “normal” nerve transmission/function to the body through specific adjustments to the spinal bones. “Abnormal” nerve function (too much/too little) comes from misaligned bones or what chiropractors commonly refer to as “subluxations”.
These “subluxations” can create a state of “dis-ease” in the body…sometimes resulting in certain conditions. Specific adjustments bring the body back to it’s “EASE” state, oftentimes restoring one's state of health.
Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe…given that they are performed by a skilled and competent chiropractor! Like I tell patients, anyone can make a “popping” or “cracking” noise but very few people can make a proper adjustment. This is an art or skill that takes years to become efficient at. Chiropractic has been around since 1895 with a proven track record of success!
To determine whether chiropractic will be effective or not, one must consider a few important factors:
Age of patient
To the degree that the condition has progressed
The body’s own innate ability to heal
The chiropractor's ability to correctly analyze and adjust your spine
The time you allow for recovery
Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic of Pembroke Pines uses the Gonstead method of adjusting and analyzing the spine. We're one of a few offices in Pembroke Pines that exclusively uses the Gonstead method. By thoroughly analyzing the spine through the use of x-ray, instrumentation, visualization, static and motion palpation you can expect a properly delivered adjustment.
No. Adjustments are intended to be specific. The specificity is what makes chiropractic unique! Treating everyone the same way with the same twisting of the neck and lower back from right to left and popping everything in between is not at all specific. Anything less than specific is not chiropractic and may do more harm than good to the patient!
Absolutely! During pregnancy, a women’s body goes through some pretty dramatic changes that can create stress along the spine. If the spine was already stressed before pregnancy, chances are it will intensify during the pregnancy. Great care is taken to be sure that both the mother and her baby are safe when performing an adjustment. We utilize special adjusting tables with different modifications to give the most gentle and accurate adjustment up to the time of delivery.
Sciatica often presents itself as pain down one leg or both. Oftentimes, the pain may travel all the way to the foot. Typically, when there is misaligned bone (subluxation) in the spine, this will induce an inflammatory response in the disc that can potentially irritate the spinal nerves…in this case, the nerves that travel down the leg.
With a proper analysis, the doctor can specifically determine how a vertebrae has misaligned and where the nerve pressure is being affected. This information is then used to determine the best approach to restoring proper position and motion of the subluxated vertebrae that may be affecting, in this case, the sciatic nerve.
