A
technique that separates this practice from traditional chiropractors
is called
Applied Kinesiology (AK).
One way this technique is used is
to balance a patient’s muscles. Many times the pain or dysfunction
that the patient is experiencing is caused by the muscles not
firing properly. Correcting that problem can eliminate the patient’s
pain and discomfort.
Another important application of AK is
to determine what type of nutritional supplement a patient
needs
and how much should be taken. This is a very systematic approach
to determine if a supplement the patient is taking is appropriate.
This same technique can also be used to determine if a specific
food causes an allergic reaction in a patient i.e. ADD/ADHD,
headaches, etc.
