How do you know when you're healthy?

Ask most San Francisco residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.

Is average normal or is normal average?

Every chiropractor knows that so-called "normal" is merely an average. What's normal for you may not be normal for anyone else. So the chiropractic approach to better health is to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each of our San Francisco patients.

Applied Kinesiology

A lack of health indicates an imbalance among one or more component of the Triad of Health.

Applied Kinesiology borrows from many different disciplines, using muscle testing as a guide for diagnosis and treatment.

The ancient Chinese observed that every muscle in the body links to a specific organ, gland or acupuncture meridian. Testing the strength of its related muscle reveals the condition of the organ or tissue. Muscle testing helps us find structural, chemical and mental problems in your body. It can also direct us to the best treatment options to restore health.

Finding the Problem

First, we review the history of your complaint. This is followed by a thorough physical examination. Instrumentation and laboratory tests may be needed. Then we analyze your posture, the way you walk, turn and bend. By combining these findings with muscle testing, we develop a unique insight into the underlying cause(s) of your problem.

Resolving the Problem

We find muscles that test weak, find out why and make recommendations to help restore its proper function so health can return.

With an understanding of your problem, we select from a variety of healing modalities, which may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments
• Joint mobilization
• Acupuncture meridian therapy
• Nutrition supplementation
• Osteopathic cranial techniques
• Muscle rehabilitation

As the discipline of Applied Kinesiology has been refined, it has broadened to include the evaluation of vascular, lymphatic systems and cerebrospinal fluid circulation.
