Before we adjust, we analyze.

The Gonstead Difference

Most chiropractic techniques treat the whole spine the same way every time. The Gonstead method helps us find the exact vertebra causing the problem first – then we correct it specifically and intentionally by hand.

X-Rays

Full-spine films in two views — an exact count of the vertebrae and posture under natural weight-bearing.

X-Rays
Palpation

By hand — sensing contour, tone, texture and temperature, then how each segment moves.

Palpation

Instrumentation

A dual-probe instrument compares temperature side to side to pinpoint inflammation.

Instrumentation
Visualization

Posture and gait, and subtle differences in the height of ears, shoulders and hips.

Visualization
Case Management

Every finding correlated with your symptoms to reveal the true source — then the precise correction.

Step 04

Why Can’t You Just Adjust Yourself?

Chiropractors spend 8 years in school — 4 years of undergraduate pre-med education, then 4 more years of rigorous chiropractic college — learning to deliver adjustments that actually realign the spine and restore proper nerve function.

A DIY “crack” at home might feel satisfying for a moment, but it doesn’t do what a trained, specific adjustment does: clear the communication pathway so real healing can start.

Or call (920) 732-2285 to schedule.

We help patients find lasting relief by addressing the cause, not just the symptom.

Genesis Chiropractic really does a great job assessing you as an individual. Focused on the specific areas you need adjusted instead of just adjusting your whole body.

I first want to say that I think Genesis is a place that is genuinely interested in fixing people and setting them FREE. I have had major caution my entire life with chiropractors. I have seen many drain people of money and telling them they have to come twice a week forever and help them none…Read more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Genesis Chiropractic

What Does A Chiropractor Do?

Chiropractors restore normal nerve transmission through specific adjustments to the spinal bones, correcting the misalignments commonly called subluxations.

Are All Patients Adjusted the Same Way?

No. Adjustments are specific — that specificity is what makes chiropractic, and the Gonstead method in particular, unique.

Can I Get Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

Absolutely. We use specially modified adjusting tables to give the most gentle and accurate adjustment throughout every stage of pregnancy.

Can I Get Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

Absolutely. We use specially modified adjusting tables to give the most gentle and accurate adjustment throughout every stage of pregnancy.

Are Chiropractic Adjustments Safe?

Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe — given that they’re performed by a skilled and competent chiropractor. Anyone can make a “popping” or “cracking” noise, but very few people can make a proper adjustment. This is a skill that takes years to become efficient at. Chiropractic has been around since 1895, with a long track record of success.

Does Chiropractic Work?

Chiropractic care is effective for most patients when a few key factors line up: your age, the recovery time you allow, how far the condition has progressed before treatment starts, your body’s own innate ability to heal, and — most importantly — the chiropractor’s skill in correctly analyzing and adjusting your spine. At Genesis Chiropractic, Dr. Maycee and Dr. Alex use full-spine X-rays and the Gonstead method’s precise analysis to make sure that last factor works in your favor.
