Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a method of assessment and therapy that involves observation and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. The practice includes testing different muscles and muscle groups to identify areas of weakness that link to imbalances in the organs, the digestive system, the blood supply, or other parts of the body. Treatments are then aimed to stimulate the body's own natural healing abilities. 

AK is considered a holistic approach to health and wellness, and it is a valuable tool in functional medicine. Elite Spine Chiro specializes in Applied Kinesiology and considers it as one of the pillars of its practice.

What is Applied Kinesiology?

This approach to health and wellness is a valuable tool in functional medicine. It involves testing different muscles and muscle groups, identifying areas of weakness that link to imbalances in the organs, digestive system, blood supply, or other parts of the body. Treatments are then aimed to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. 

AK is a method of assessment and therapy that invokes observation and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. The practice includes testing different muscles or muscle groups which identify areas with weakness linked to imbalance within organs like one’s digestive systems as well as one’s circulatory system among many others. Treatment consists of stimulating the body's own self-repairing abilities.

 By evaluating the muscles' response to stimulation, chiropractors can help identify areas of dysfunction in your body. The person being assessed is asked to hold a specific object while their arm is held stationary by the practitioner. If you are holding an object like a pencil or coin which does not have enough weight, it will be easy for you to move your arm when tested with light pressure from a finger or thumb.

What Can You Gain From Applied Kinesiology?

Some of the most common benefits from AK are greater emotional well-being, increased mental alertness, stress relief. The therapy treats the mind and body as a single unified system which helps not diagnose or treat diseases but also help to prevent disease by identifying food allergies and sensitivities

Some of these include having higher levels of energy while experiencing less anxiety & depression because you’re eating better foods that make your mood brighter. Along with this comes more stamina for exercise due to recovering faster after workouts - plus there is pain relief since it can be used in conjunction with Tai Chi exercises.

It is also important not to get intimidated by Applied Kinesiology because the first appointment usually takes more than one hour. The chiropractors will start by testing your muscle strength and reflexes, observing your posture and gait before taking a full medical history to get a complete understanding of you.

Chiropractors and patients work together to achieve wellness goals by establishing well-being plans that include lifestyle changes at home, as well as in office therapeutic treatments.

When talking to a therapist, they may ask about your sleeping and eating patterns, relationships with friends or family members at home or work. They will also ask you for any sources of stress that might be causing the anxiety disorder in question. 

After this conversation,  there is typically an assessment process which includes identifying what areas need improvement as well as coming up with goals based around those improvements so that we can start getting those feelings under control again rather than leave them unchecked like before.

Do I Really Need Muscle Testing?

Did you know that your muscles can be used to diagnose a disorder? This is called muscle testing. Muscle testing in applied kinesiology has been around for many years and it's still being used today. 

Applied Kinesiology is an alternative medicine practice which aims to provide help for those with chronic pain or other disorders who are not responding well to traditional treatments such as medication, therapy, surgery, etc.

Do you suffer from chronic pain and have a difficult time finding the right treatment? It may be because you're not using muscle testing.

When it comes to treating pain, there are many options available; however, none of them work for everyone. Many patients find that traditional methods of treatment do nothing but offer false hope. With so many people suffering from chronic pain, an alternative method is desperately needed.
