Applied Kinesiology in Takanini, Auckland South
It’s always a goal to offer our people the latest and greatest care, and Applied Kinesiology (AK) is no exception. AK is a unique technique that utilises muscle testing to communicate directly with the brain, providing valuable insights into the body’s needs and imbalances.
Understanding Applied Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology involves the chiropractor testing the strength of specific muscles and engaging in a dialogue with the body by applying pressure to different areas or having the patient perform specific movements. By observing the body’s response, the chiropractor gains valuable information about areas of stress or imbalance. This non-invasive method helps identify where corrections are needed, leading to targeted and effective treatment.
Holistic Analysis and Benefits
One of the key benefits of offering applied kinesiology is its holistic approach to healthcare. Not only does it allow us to assess and address musculoskeletal issues, but it also provides insights into the function of internal organs and other body systems. Different muscles correspond to different parts of the body, enabling us to gain a comprehensive understanding of overall body function.
Targeted Care for Lasting Results
Frequently Asked Questions
This non-invasive diagnostic system primarily revolves around functional muscle testing. Our chiropractors apply a precisely timed pressure to a muscle while the patient resists, observing the muscle’s response. Practitioners of this technique have shown that if a muscle responds abnormally under specific conditions, it signals an issue with a related part of the body or a particular factor influencing overall health.
Additionally, AK considers five key factors that may affect muscle function. These factors help us analyse and address various health concerns.
What conditions can it help with?
AK is an analysis tool which allows the practitioner to find underlying problems. Depending on what is found, specific conditions can be helped using various techniques, while also aiming to restore overall body function. By improving function, practice members may experience relief from various issues, including injury, pain, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, PTSD, and more.
Yes, this technique is considered safe when performed by licensed healthcare professionals trained in applied kinesiology. Our chiropractors take great care to ensure the process is comfortable for practice members.
The number of sessions varies depending on the person and the complexity of their issues. Some practice members may notice improvements after a few sessions, while others with more chronic conditions may require ongoing care.
Can AK be used with other treatments?
Yes! AK can complement other therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, or nutritional support. It works well as part of an integrative healthcare approach.
If you have health insurance that covers Chiropractic care, then yes.
While AK is generally free from side effects, as it is a non-invasive analysis method, some practice members may experience mild soreness after a session due to muscle testing, which usually resolves quickly.
How can AK help with chronic pain?
AK can help identify the underlying factors contributing to chronic pain, such as muscular imbalances or neurological dysfunctions. Addressing these root causes can promote better overall function, potentially reducing chronic pain symptoms.
Our chiropractors can modify the muscle testing technique to suit younger practice members and help address functional imbalances that may affect their growth and development.
