Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that accesses the
neurological component of the body through manual muscle testing to gain
insight as to the cause and treatment of the problem. Since we are all
individually different, we need different treatments and lifestyle
recommendations. In other words, there is no one cure for each disease
or imbalance. AK helps to solve this problem by using your own body's
neurological system as a feedback mechanism to specifically find the
imbalance or imbalances and then find the specific treatment for your
condition. Some of the tools that an applied kinesiologist may use
include chiropractic adjustment techniques, various muscle and
connective tissue procedures, cranial techniques, meridian therapy,
reflex point procedures, nutritional supplementation, and dietary
management.
Applied Kinesiology, by itself, is not
an all-inclusive system but instead enhances the standard diagnostic
tools used by Dr. Groneck and other health care practitioners. Applied
kinesiology techniques should correlate with other diagnostic tools to
give the practitioner a better understanding of the patient's complaint
and what treatment course will be most appropriate. For instance, if
someone has low back pain, does the problem lie with the disc, muscles,
tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, or nerves? Is there a
nutritional component (there are certain nutrient deficiencies that can
contribute to the weakening of ligaments and discs)? Is there a
positional component (poor posture or poor mechanics)? Could the low
back pain be the result of all of the above mentioned or just a few of
them? There are many factors that must be addressed with each person.
Knowing which tools to use at the right time can be a confusing and,
often, overwhelming task for even qualified health practitioners. Using
applied kinesiology, Dr. Groneck is able to quickly determine the best
course of action to solve the problem. |
