📚 The 4 Best Gonstead Extremity Books Available Right Now
If you want to become better at analyzing and adjusting extremities, these are the four resources I would recommend having in your library:
1️⃣ The Science and Art of Chiropractic – Extremity Chapters
The foundation. If you practice Gonstead, start here. Understanding the original concepts and listings gives you the framework everything else should build from.
2️⃣ A Practical Guide to Adjusting the Extremities – Dr. David Sheekey
One of the most practical resources available for learning extremity adjusting. Clear, applicable, and a book I have personally used throughout my journey.
3️⃣ Werking on Extremities – Dr. Mark Werking
Dr. Werking had a massive impact on my understanding of extremity analysis and adjusting. I became Gonstead Extremity Certified by him in 2008, and his work helped shape the clinician and instructor I am today.
4️⃣ Pediatric Chiropractic – Dr. Claudia Anrig
If you're serious about working with children, this belongs in your library. An incredible resource for understanding pediatric chiropractic and extremity considerations in the developing child.
I’ve spent nearly two decades studying, applying, and teaching extremity work—and these are four books I believe every chiropractor or chiropractic student serious about extremities should know.
