Roots Chiropractic & Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing combined with other standard methods of diagnosis. AK, a non-invasive system of evaluating body function that is unique in the healing arts, has become a dynamic movement in health care in its relatively short existence.

The combined terms “applied” and “kinesiology” describe the basis of this system, which is the use of manual muscle testing to evaluate body function through the dynamics of the musculoskeletal system. Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counseling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.

The Lebowitz Technique involves muscle testing techniques and Applied Kinesiology to address issues such as dysbiosis, food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, chemical and electromagnetic field sensitivity, and toxicities. It utilizes frequency vials to identify personalized herbal and nutritional protocols that aid in restoring the body to its optimal state.

Chiropractic care is tailored to each patient's unique needs, as no two patients are alike. A chiropractic assessment is conducted to determine the most effective therapeutic approach for the patient. This may include non-force, light touch, or traditional high-velocity techniques, which are customized to the patient's needs. Chiropractic adjustments are performed to alleviate symptoms and promote preventative care, allowing the body's innate intelligence to work with the treatment to facilitate self-healing. Proper structural alignment of the body is essential for the nervous system to function accurately, as it serves as the master communicator throughout the body, particularly for the brain-body connection, according to chiropractic principles and theories.
