Dr. Hart practices the Gonstead method. The focus of a Gonstead adjustment is to be as specific, precise, and accurate as possible, addressing only the program areas of subluxation. It is the goal of your Gonstead doctor to restore and maintain optimal health by locating and correcting any interference to the nervous system caused by vertebral subluxation.
As a Palmer graduated, Dr. Hart is educated on the Palmer Package. The Palmer Package involves chiropractic techniques, once mastered, provide the Palmer graduate with the technique expertise needed to deal with practically any clinical situation that may emerge in practice. The core curriculum courses in the Palmer Package are mostly organized by regions of the spine, including courses on cervical, thoracolumbar, pelvic and extremity adjusting technique and management.
When Dr. Hart is not treating patients, he enjoys spending time with his family. He has two girls, two boys and a wonderful wife. You can often find them out and about in the Geneva community.
