How to Use Kinesiology Through Chiropractic Care
Kinesiology, the study of human physical movement, is crucial for physical therapists, dancers and other body-based professionals. In chiropractic care It can help pinpoint vulnerable, compromised areas that signal a weakness or injury in specific nerve groupings. This allows your chiropractor to target adjustments to provide a remedy to those areas. Chiropractic care is the manual adjustment of the vertebrae for the relief of back pain, neck pain, and other conditions.
Things You'll Need:

Chiropractor
Kinesiologist or chiropractor who knows kinesiology
Use Kinesiology Through Chiropractic Care
1
Find out if your chiropractor also utilizes kinesiology. If not, go through your directory of state chiropractic organizations and use them as a referral source to find one in your area (see Resources below).
2
Ask for a complete evaluation using kinesiology as part of the diagnostic regime. Make sure you have given your chiropractor your medical history. If the kinesological testing shows weakness in various organ systems, it will be important for your practitioner to know your prior history.
3

Tips & Warnings
The price for independent kinesiologist visits will be moderate to expensive. If the kinesiologist is part of your chiropractor's practice (or your chiropractor is also an expert in kinesiology), then the cost will be the same as your chiropractor's fee schedule.
If your problems persist or the claims made by your kinesiologist and/or chiropractor seem too far afield from your aches and pains, don't forget to look for a second opinion or to go back to your medical doctor for further evaluation.
If any of your original symptoms get worse or if any new ones--like intense pain or high fevers--develop, contact your medical doctor immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.
Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners are licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider and keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
