Applied Kinesiology in Fenton MI

Applied Kinesiology (AK) was discovered and developed by world-renowned chiropractor and alternative health care practitioner Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr. AK is a method of evaluating one's structural, chemical/nutritional, and/or emotional health to determine which treatment method(s) would be most effective for each individual.

AK is not just muscle testing and is not a yes or no answer system where someone holds something up against the patient's body and determines whether something is good or bad for that individual. Unfortunately, most people call these techniques "applied kinesiology" or "kinesiology", yet they have absolutely nothing to do with Dr. George Goodheart's work or with anything we do at Wardie Chiropractic & Nutrition. True Applied Kinesiology (AK) is much more involved and specific and is based on a great deal of scientific research. Call our Fenton MI chiropractic team today to get started.

The most important tool used in AK is taking a thorough patient history as well as using standard medical testing procedures such as blood pressure, pulse, height, and weight, evaluating a range of motion, and using neurological and orthopedic testing, blood testing, and/or other lab testing.

At Wardie Chiropractic & Nutrition, we never rely on one method of testing (such as muscle testing) to diagnose or care for any individual. Instead, we gather as much information as possible from as many different testing methods as possible to determine the best treatment(s) for each individual.
