The Gonstead System of Analysis
Two Sparrows Family Chiropractic is Whitefish's only exclusively Gonstead chiropractic clinic. That means you're getting expert-level care from two doctors who've dedicated themselves deeply to this precise, root-cause approach.
The Components of the Gonstead Method
Every one of us is uniquely designed, right down to the cells that make up our bodies — so when it comes to your adjustment, one size definitely doesn't fit all. That's why we use the Gonstead System. Through visualization, instrumentation, palpation, X-ray, and your own symptoms, we're able to pinpoint the exact area that needs attention.
When all of these pieces line up, we can give you a truly specific adjustment — and the more specific the adjustment, the more meaningful the change we see in your health. No cookie-cutter approach, no guesswork. Your health deserves nothing less than a thorough, in-depth approach.
-
To see is to know is our motto here. When we have the literal roadmap to your nervous system, we can see clearly what's going on and how to best adjust you. A joint can move in 6 completely unique directions, and it's our goal to have every adjustment be exactly what your body needs.
-
We use a tool called the Nervoscope (or Delta-T) — essentially a fancy thermometer that shows us exactly where the nerve pressure is in your spine. When there's nerve pressure in the spine, heat shows up on the surface of the skin, and this tool lets us objectively find it, every time.
-
A healthy spine has healthy motion. When we start to lose that motion, it's a sign something is wrong. By moving the joints of your spine, we can feel which joint is problematic and exactly what direction it needs to be adjusted.
-
While we don't chase symptoms, they're incredibly helpful for isolating exactly where to focus. Every nerve supplies a specific function of the body, so when a symptom shows up that correlates with nerve pressure, it helps build the case for where we need to focus.
-
Each of us has a spine unique to us alone, so we all stand and move a little differently. How you stand and walk uncovers so many small details about what's happening on the inside — piecing that together with our other clues helps us provide the absolute best adjustment for you, every time.
We're proud to be Whitefish's only exclusively Gonstead chiropractic clinic, dedicated to providing the highest quality of care possible. Through our in-depth, nervous system focused analysis, you and your loved ones can feel confident you're getting care built around exactly what your body needs.

What is Nervous System Focused Chiropractic Care?
Each of us is uniquely designed, right down to the very cells that make us who we are — so when it comes to your adjustment, one size doesn't fit all. Your body is also beautifully and intelligently designed to heal itself. Our goal is to find exactly where nerve pressure exists in your spine through careful chiropractic analysis. When a nearby bone or disc puts pressure and inflammation on a nerve, that nerve can't function the way it's meant to.
Since our nerves control every function in the body — not just muscles and joints, but our digestive organs, reproductive system, thyroid, bladder, even our heart and lungs — that pressure can ripple outward in ways you might not expect. Your organs are designed to work best free of interference, which is often exactly where symptoms begin.
While we don't chase symptoms, they're incredibly helpful clues in figuring out exactly where the disconnect is between your brain and body. Our goal with every analysis is to locate the precise areas of nerve pressure and gently release them through a specific chiropractic adjustment — restoring function and letting your body's healing process begin.
What to Expect
First Visit
At your initial consultation, we'll take the time to really understand your personal health history and everything that's contributing to how you feel. Paired with a thorough exam and full spine digital X-rays, this gives us the complete picture we need to provide the most personalized chiropractic care possible.
Second Visit
At your next visit, we'll walk you through your personalized report of findings, connecting what we see in your X-rays to what's actually going on with your health. We'll explain everything clearly, connect the dots together, and build a plan forward that's guiding you toward better health and function. From there, you'll receive your first adjustment, based on your complete analysis.
Subsequent Visits
Every visit, we re-analyze and adjust specifically based on your progress and the changes we're seeing. There's no cookie-cutter care here — each visit is tailored to exactly where you are that day. By understanding your daily habits and goals, we're able to offer further recommendations for small tweaks outside the office, helping you get even more out of your healing journey.
