Our History

Conditions We Treat
At Katona Chiropractic, we treat a wide range of conditions, including lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, stomach problems, reproductive issues, and sleep difficulties. Whether you've been in a car accident, experienced a sports injury, or developed discomfort from gardening or playing with your kids, we're here to serve your health needs.
The Gonstead Method
At Katona Chiropractic, we use the Gonstead Method, a well-rounded system that provides the most specific and accurate chiropractic adjustments. Developed by Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead, the Gonstead Method is based on five criteria to detect spinal problems: x-ray analysis, instrumentation, static palpation, motion palpation, and visualization.
Dr. Katona is passionate about seeking the best, most effective care for his patients to ensure quick healing that is time and cost-effective. Like Dr. Gonstead, Dr. Katona is committed to advancing the Gonstead technique and chiropractic education so that more patients can benefit from chiropractic care.
