Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic of Jacksonville opened its doors in October 2025 and celebrated its opening with a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, April 29. Dr. Daniel Brisuda, known to all as Dr. Dan, utilizes the Gonstead method, which offers an effective, holistic approach to chiropractic care.
“I love the Gonstead method of chiropractic,” he said. “Our specific, gentle adjustments restore function and promote overall well-being. We help people get back to healthy/happy. Changing lives in this way is a great feeling.”
Dr. Dan was first drawn to the Gonstead method due to his personal experience.
“I was just 9 years old when our family first received Gonstead Chiropractic care after a minor car accident,” he said. “I liked the doctor for his patience with me, given my many questions as a kid, and I was enthralled with the process: the many tests; the analysis and the care. I recognized even as a kid, how much better I felt afterward.”
He and his family are holistic-minded and athletic. Dr. Dan is a former NCAA athlete and he and his wife do crossfit and run marathons. The Gonstead method helps support their active lifestyle as chiropractic care boosts athletic performance and overall wellness.
Dr. Dan trained extensively at Palmer College of Chiropractic and has helped thousands of patients using the Gonstead method. It is a transformative approach that uses five main components, x-rays, palpation, instrumentation, visualization and case history to lead to optimal health and wellness.
Gonstead Chiropractic cares for all ages from infants to geriatrics. Dr. Dan is certified in the Webster method, which offers support to moms during pregnancy. He assists with back pain, extremity pain, various injuries and more.
The Gonstead method can improve motor control and digestion for children; offer speech and behavior support for children with special needs; lead to increased athletic performance and injury recovery for athletes; and improve range of motion and pain relief for geriatrics.
“We incorporate chiropractic care as part of being proactive with one’s health in every season in life, in order to do and be one’s very best,” said Dr. Dan.
Gonstead Chiropractic has had many success stories so far. Chiropractic assistant Evelynn Eller said that a 6-year-old patient with special needs previously had G-I tract issues as well as some physical and behavioral concerns. Dr. Dan worked to clear impinged nerves and the parents reported that their child no longer has to wear diapers and his behavioral issues are improving. Dr. Dan and the Gonstead team love helping patients improve their well-being.
Dr. Dan and his wife are very personable and are wonderful parents, Eller shared.
“They value faith, family, friends and community,” Eller said.
Within the past year, Dr. Dan has teamed with several area health care professionals and hosted numerous free wellness clinics for the public. Topics to date have included: Experience True Wellness: Inside & Out, Total Health: A New Year Reset, Pregnancy & Pediatric Wellness.
More recently, the clinic has partnered with a local artist group for ongoing quarterly art exhibitions throughout the clinic. The artists get the opportunity to showcase their work, and patients get to see beautiful art during their visits.
