Gonstead Chiropractic — Lakeland, FL
Liberate Chiropractic is one of only a handful of practices in Polk County trained in the Gonstead System — a full-analysis approach that finds the exact cause of your pain, not just the symptom.
At Liberate Chiropractic, care begins with a thorough analysis — posture, X-rays, nerve tension, and full-body assessment before a single adjustment is made. That’s the Gonstead System: find the exact vertebra causing the problem, then correct it with precision.
Most chiropractic offices adjust whatever hurts. Dr. Metz adjusts what’s wrong — which isn’t always the same thing. Patients come in skeptical, especially those who’ve tried chiropractic before without results. They leave as long-term patients.
A family atmosphere from Day 1. Parents bring their kids. First-timers are walked through every step. Everyone leaves knowing exactly what was found and what was done about it.
Developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead in the 1920s, the Gonstead System is considered the gold standard of chiropractic analysis. It requires more training, more time, and more precision than standard techniques — which is why most chiropractors don’t use it.
Full X-Ray Analysis — Evaluate the entire spine, not just where it hurts, to find the root cause.
Specific Adjustments Only — Only the vertebra causing the problem is adjusted. Nothing else is disturbed.
Nutrition + Rehab Integration — Liberate also addresses what’s feeding your inflammation through nutritional chiropractic guidance.
