How does applied kinesiology work?

Applied kinesiology is a unique healing system that focuses on analyzing the body's natural response to a specific stimulus. For example, a person might experience back pain or a headache that won't go away. While doctors might prescribe shots and medications, these treatments often fail to treat the cause. In contrast, an Applied Kinesiologist can identify the symptoms of these conditions, prevent them from worsening, and provide holistic, integrative care. Look around the site

Applied kinesiology practitioners are licensed health care practitioners who have undergone rigorous postgraduate studies in order to become certified. They will conduct a thorough examination on their patients, asking detailed questions about their lifestyle and health. They may also use muscle testing to identify any physical problems. The results of the examination will be used to develop a treatment plan.

Applied Kinesiology tests are a powerful tool for identifying nutritional deficiencies, allergies, and adverse reactions to foods. They can even detect the effects of various foods by analyzing the way your muscles react. Because of this, a trained eye can pinpoint which organ, vascular group, and tissue are affected by a particular substance.

The basic concept behind applied kinesiology is that a muscle is not functioning properly due to an internal defect. This means that the muscle is not getting proper nutrition. By assessing the balance of muscle groups and correcting the imbalance, your body will be able to function as it should. The practitioner will then work with you to determine what the underlying problem is. Then, a treatment plan will be created to correct the imbalance and give you a healthy body.

If you suffer from migraine headaches, kinesiology can be a great way to help alleviate your migraines. It works by balancing the Ileocecal muscle, which is one of the primary triggers for migraine headaches. When the Ileocecal muscle is balanced, migraine headaches can be eliminated.

Although it's difficult to pinpoint the exact mechanism behind the application of kinesiology, there are a variety of potential benefits. Some practitioners believe the therapy can treat a wide variety of ailments, including anxiety. However, there isn't sufficient evidence to support these claims.

The basic theory behind applied kinesiology is that specific muscle weakness is a signal of an internal organ problem. By correcting muscle weakness, practitioners believe they can correct a patient's internal organ problems. The theory was developed in the 1960s by chiropractor George Goodheart, Jr. It is largely used by chiropractors and naturopathic physicians, but is also practiced by other health practitioners.

Applied Kinesiology uses noninvasive methods to identify and correct imbalances in the body. Using a variety of instruments, an Applied Kinesiologist can treat a range of ailments and conditions by treating the underlying causes. Unlike acupuncture, Applied Kinesiology works by assessing the body's function using the strength of the muscles. This helps identify imbalances that may be causing the symptoms. Next Article

Patient Testimonials

Dr Don Sharnowski is a doctor who is above and beyond all other doctors! Probably his most outstanding quality is that he LISTENS to what his patients say. He is willing to explain things to his patients in terms they can understand. Dr Don treats his patients with wisdom, understanding, gentleness, care, encouragement and he is willing to "go the extra mile" to give his patients the proper treatment they need. He does not treat patients like they were on an assembly line or like he is rushing them out the door. Dr Don has fixed many of the problems I had at my first visit, one of which I had endured for 3 years. Dr Don was able to fix that problem in 2 weeks when others had not. Dr Don has also helped me loose 40 lbs so far. My total recovery is still an ongoing process, but should be a cinch with Dr Don's expert help! Thank you, Dr Don! You are an awesome answer to prayers!

Dr Don Sharnowski is truly an amazing Doctor. He listens to his patients and treats in a very complete way. He is very knowledgeable because he never stops learning. He is a great communicator and will help you learn better ways to be healthy if you will actually do what he teaches.

Don (Dr Sharnowski) is truly one of a kind. He is warm, inviting and incredibly generous with his time, but also really knowledgeable about the body and everything within. You won't find crystal balls here. You'll find a super nice guy in sneakers who also sells farm fresh eggs at the counter. I went in expecting to get adjusted (and was scared, because I'd never seen a chiro before). Instead, what I experienced was someone who actually sat down and listened to my history, connected the dots between several ailments (instead of jumping to prescribe one drug apiece to treat each one), and explained things that no one had ever taken the time to do. I was there about my back specifically, but we talked about my whole health. Instead of just prescribing an anti inflammatory (which is what my other doc did), he explained why we get inflammation in our bodies, and how to help reduce it with what we eat. I've also been on thyroid medication for over 10 years, and he actually explained what the thyroid is, and what the drug I take is, and what it does. But not in a defensive or overly crunchy way. He just openly explained in a way that I could understand it. I highly recommend Don to anyone with a body who wants to feel better. His approach is approachably holistic. Just common sense, whole body-centered treatment.
