Is chiropractic effective? Chiropractic works by restoring your own inborn ability to be healthy. Chiropractic helps to remove postural imbalances and structural misalignments that can accumulate in our bodies over time.Â
What Our Patients Say About Us
What is Applied Kinesiology?
Asheville Chiropractor and Applied Kinesiologist
Dr. Snider has practiced chiropractic since 1983. Applied Kinesiology allows him to treat common chiropractic conditions along with many nutritional needs of his patients.
Applied kinesiology is an advanced technique used to diagnose and treat health problems by identifying weakened muscles. It should not be confused with conventional kinesiology (from the Greek word kinesis, meaning movement), which is the scientific study of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement.
Using an advanced diagnostic procedure called manual muscle testing, the AK practitioner can determine the internal source of muscle weakness and then plan a program designed to ultimately restore health.
Once a diagnosis is reached, the treatment may include a variety of alternative, as well as conventional remedies–from chiropractic adjustments to basic dietary changes. During a course of treatment, the patient will undergo periodic muscle re-testing as a measurement tool to verify overall improvement. Muscle testing is completely painless.
Because Applied Kinesiology is such an advancement over most chiropractic care, the use of it enables our office to help many conditions that Chiropractic alone may not help. This includes the most neck and back pain that many people seek care for, but also includes care for many other conditions we treat.
AK can help to improve gait, posture, and range of motion. It can also help restore normal function to the nervous, endocrine, immune, and digestive systems, and determine previously unsuspected foodr chemical sensitivities. The goal of applied kinesiology treatment is to intervene early enough to prevent or delay illness.
