Full-Spine Analysis

🦁 Doctors with a Heart
Who We Are

Two doctors. One standard: find the exact cause.

Dr. Justin Harris and Dr. Zach Metz built Liberate on the Gonstead System — a full-analysis approach that examines posture, X-rays, nerve tension, and the entire spine before a single adjustment is made. They don't adjust what hurts. They adjust what's wrong.

Most offices guess. Dr. Harris and Dr. Metz analyze. Patients arrive skeptical — especially those who've tried chiropractic before without lasting results — and leave understanding exactly what was found and what was done to correct it.

A family atmosphere from day one. Parents bring their kids, first-timers are walked through every step, and the doctors actually take the time to get to know you.

Meet Your Doctors

Both Gonstead-trained. Both hands-on.

Together, Dr. Harris and Dr. Metz give every patient a full analysis before a single adjustment is made.

Dr. Justin Harris

Meticulous and detail-driven, Dr. Harris built Liberate around the full-analysis Gonstead approach. He takes the time to explain exactly what he finds — and why — so you understand your spine before any adjustment is made.

Dr. Zach Metz

Warm, patient, and thorough, Dr. Metz is the doctor patients credit with walking them through every step — especially first-timers who arrive nervous. He focuses on finding the true cause of your pain, not just chasing the symptom.

The Gonstead Difference

Why the Gonstead System finds what others miss

Developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead, it's considered the gold standard of chiropractic analysis — more training, more time, more precision than standard techniques. Which is exactly why most chiropractors don't use it.

Full X-Ray Analysis

We evaluate the entire spine — not just where it hurts — to find the true root cause.

Specific Adjustments Only

Only the vertebra causing the problem is adjusted. Nothing else is disturbed.

Nutrition + Rehab Integration

We also address what's feeding your inflammation through nutritional guidance and rehab.
