Kinesiology, Nutrition, & Chiropractic

Kinesiology, Nutrition, & Chiropractic are the topic of today's blog. Chiropractors sometimes use an art known as kinesiology to determine what nutrional need a person has. Kinesiology can also be used as a way to diagnose vertebral subluxations, which are the specific problem that chiropractors seek to correct. Some physicians believe that a nutritional problem is also cause of subluxations. Kinesiology is essentially muscle testing. It takes practice to master, and even with a lot of practice, some doctors never seem to acquire the "touch" necessary to provide this service successfully. To do a kinesiologic exam, the doctor first tests a strong muscle, for example having the patient hold up his arm and then pushing gently with steady pressure. It is not a battle of strength. Then exposing the patient to an irritant that the patient's body rejects should cause the patient to be unable to hold the arm up with the doctor's steady push. Irritants can represent allergens, such as cat hair; or if the personhas an issue with their liver, merely placing a hand over the individual's liver is enough to weken the arm. Then introducing a nutrient that will potentially correct the problem, such as a liver detox herb, can then prevent the arm from weakening from the same push, with the hand over the liver. Using kinesiology to diagnose subluxations is done in a similar fashion. If the person has neck pain, the chiropractor can touch specific vertebra while pushing on the person's arm. WHen the problem vertebra is touched, the arm goes weak, and hence the doctor now knows exactly where to make the correction.
