Applied Kinesiology Chiropractic

Applied Kinesiology and Neuro-Organizational Technique (N.O.T.)

Applied Kinesiology is a test of functional neurology — how the nervous system manifests in the musculoskeletal system. Kinesiology was developed by Dr. George Goodheart (chiropractor). It is based on an understanding of connections between muscles, organs, glands, body chemistry, Acupuncture Meridians, the brain and nervous system.

Using muscle testing as its primary tool, it offers an insight into the way your own body creates patterns through movement. It is also used to assess the status of primitive survival reflexes and patterns of responses developed throughout life. It will also assess head and neck stability, structural balance, posture and muscular coordination.

The N.O.T. procedures, used in conjunction with kinesiology is derived from research pertaining to Applied Kinesiology, Nutrition, Craniopathy, Neurology, Acupuncture and chiropractic procedures. It was developed by Dr. Carl Ferreri, chiropractor USA.

Its philosophy is that the body was created to survive on its own in a hostile environment. It is genetically designed to function in a specific pattern for all its essential primitive needs such as digestion, reproduction and fight/flight. These functions are controlled by the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and its network of nerves to muscles, organs and tissues), which continually monitors all of these mechanisms, deal with them as needed, and, when necessary, creates compensatory functions to survive.

These functions can be disrupted by on-going stress and/or trauma, such as:

• physical (falls, car accidents, birth trauma, head injury and etc)
• emotional (loss of loved one/s, divorce, bankruptcy, emotional abuse, rape)
• chemical (environmental toxins, viruses, drugs, heavy metal toxicity and infections)

N.O.T. is an organized examination and treatment protocol addressing the body’s neurological, structural and biochemical priorities and its ability to respond to environmental stress/stimuli effectively and efficiently.

Following conditions have shown to positively respond to N.O.T. treatments:

• ADD/ADHD
• Chronic low back and neck pain
• Learning disability
• Chronic headaches
• food/chemical sensitivity
• stroke
• poor immunity
• snoring, sleep apnea, and sleep disorders
• Fibromyalgia
• Repetitious athletic injuries
• Post traumatic concussion syndrome
