Reveal a new perspective on your health needs. You’ll probably learn something new about yourself and how you can improve your strength, energy, vitality, adaptability, sleep quality, recovery from injury, resistance to infection, and your general outlook. This is what Applied Kinesiology offers you.
The new paradigm for health care and wellness recognizes that treating the person, not just their symptoms, offers the most profound and lasting results. Applied Kinesiology incorporates chiropractic, chinese medicine, and naturopathic principles to more accurately diagnose and treat the structural problems, chronic nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, and digestive problems that cause many common complaints. For example:
Sciatica, low back pain and even low back strain can be associated with an underlying digestive condition.
Repetitive stress syndromes such as carpal tunnel and tendinitis can be symptoms of underlying adrenal insufficiency.
Spinal adjustments affect muscles and joints in all the extremities, such as the knees, ankles, hips and shoulders, but extremity adjustments can also normalize muscle strength around the spine, such as ankle adjustments strengthening the neck muscles.
Evaluation and treatment at Belmont Street Natural Health includes standard history taking and physical examination. Applied Kinesiology muscle testing is used to more specifically identify your needs- what needs to be adjusted, muscles that are weak from injury or other reasons, where you will benefit the most from Chinese medicine-based meridian work, and what nutritional supplements will most benefit you at that time. Based on all the aquired information, the doctor can simply supply what the body asks for and observe the results, which are often immediate.
