The cervical (neck) chair is used to examine the patient with the nervoscope, palpate and adjust the cervical vertebrae.  The Gonstead cervical adjustment focuses on the posterior to anterior ( backwards to forwards) component of the cervical subluxation.  Dr. Gonstead developed this unique method.  This sitting adjustment does not rotate the neck more than 15 degrees and NO rotation occurs during the actual adjustment.

The pelvic bench is used to adjust the iliums (hips), the sacrum (connects both hips to form the sacroiliac joints) and the lumbar vertebrae.  The pelvis side posture adjustment is also unique to the Gonstead Method.  With this system, every effort is made to contact and adjust the specific misalignment of the segment as determined by the x-ray measurement.

The hylo table is used to adjust all areas of the spine.  Since the primary direction of misalignment of these vertebrae is posterior (backwards), this table provides a comfortable enivronment for subluxation correction.  Its motorized "up and down" function makes transition to the face down position much easier for all types of patients.

The knee chest table is used to adjust everything from the pelvis to the upper neck.  Patients are adjusted in a kneeling position.  It works well for the late term pregnant patient, the person with rib injuries such as fractures that cannot lay on a solid surface and for the more full figured patients that do not adjust well on the pelvic bench or hylo table.
