Applied Kinesiology

Applied kinesiology (AK) is one of many modalities used at Christensen Chiropractic to optimize patient care. It is a diagnostic technique that uses muscle testing to determine how a person’s body is functioning.
Muscle response to a physical, chemical or mental stimulus is correlated with the patient's history and a physical examination to determine the best form of therapy for the patient.
Applied kinesiology procedures are not used as a single method of diagnosis. But in combining elements of many other therapies, they offer a comprehensive and integrated approach to health care.
Therapies can include specific joint manipulation or mobilization, myofascial massage, cranial techniques, meridian therapy, clinical nutrition, dietary management and various reflex procedures.
In
some cases, the examiner may also test for environmental or food sensitivities by using a previously strong muscle to find what weakens it.

I.R.T

When a tissue is injured, the body places a high priority on its healing. Also, all sorts of chemical and neurological processes begin. During the healing process the tissue will be in a state of reduced function and will likely be painful or sensitive to touch. That is because the sensory nerves located around and within the tissue are on high alert. This state reminds the rest of the body that this area is under repair. The nerves will maintain their state of heightened sensitivity until complete healing has occurred. Sometimes, for whatever reason, this does not take place, and so tissue function is reduced and the nerves remain highly sensitive. When present, a deeper neurological therapy is required in order for proper function to be restored. The procedure is very simple, but often produces a surprisingly strong therapeutic response.
