Gonstead Seminar

Gonstead Seminar History – Dr. Betterton

Dr. Betterton began lecturing with the Gonstead

Seminar in 2009 and was invited to join the seminar

staff. His presentations focus on the precise application

of Gonstead Technique as it was taught directly by Dr.

Clarence Gonstead himself.

The accurate application of the technique has been

passed down through generations of Gonstead doctors

— from Dr. Clarence Gonstead to Dr. Alex Cox, then to

Dr. John Cox, and ultimately to Dr. Betterton. This

lineage has helped preserve the authenticity, precision,

and philosophy of the Gonstead System.

In addition to technique instruction, Dr. Betterton

regularly lectures on Gonstead history, case

management, X-ray analysis, and practice development.

In 2017, he began presenting internationally and has

since taught throughout the United States as well as in

Norway, England, Australia, and France.

In 2026, Dr. Betterton became an owner of the Gonstead

Seminar, continuing his commitment to advancing and

preserving the Gonstead System for future generations

of chiropractors.
