In applied kinesiology a close clinical association has been observed between specific muscle dysfunction and related organ or gland dysfunction.
This viscerosomatic relationship is but one of the many sources of muscle weakness. Placed into perspective and properly correlated with other diagnostic input, it gives the physician an indication of the organs or glands to consider as possible sources of health problems.
In standard diagnosis, body language such as paleness, fatigue, and lack of color in the capillaries and arterioles of the internal surface of the lower eyelid gives the physician an indication that anemia can be present.
A diagnosis of anemia is only justified by laboratory analysis of the patient's blood. In a similar manner, the muscle-organ/gland association and other considerations in applied kinesiology give indication for further examination to confirm or rule out an association in the particular case being studied.
It is the physician's total diagnostic work-up that determines the final diagnosis.
An applied kinesiology-based examination and therapy are of great value in the management of common functional health problems when used in conjunction with information obtained from a functional interpretation of the clinical history, physical and laboratory examinations and from instrumentation.
Applied kinesiology helps the physician understand functional symptomatic complexes. In assessing a patient's status, it is important to understand any pathologic states or processes that may be present prior to instituting a form of therapy for what appears to be functional health problem.
Applied kinesiology-based procedures are administered to achieve the following examination and therapeutic goals:
* Provide an interactive assessment of the functional health status of an individual which is not equipment intensive but does emphasize the importance of correlating findings with standard
diagnostic procedures
* Restore postural balance, correct gait impairment, improve range of motion
* Restore normal afferentation to achieve proper neurologic control and/or organization of body
function
* Achieve homeostasis of endocrine, immune, digestive, and other visceral function
* Intervene earlier in degenerative processes to prevent or delay the onset of frank pathologic
processes
When properly performed, applied kinesiology can provide valuable insights into physiologic dysfunctions.
This is one of the methods we use in the office.
