A Whole-Body Approach to Understanding Your Health

At Lakeshore Chiropractic, we offer Applied Kinesiology (AK) as part of our holistic approach to diagnosing and treating the root cause of discomfort. Applied Kinesiology is a non-invasive technique that uses muscle testing, structural evaluation, and neurological responses to understand how your body is functioning as a whole.

This method allows us to look beyond symptoms and uncover underlying imbalances that may be affecting your health, mobility, or daily comfort.

What Is Applied Kinesiology?

Applied Kinesiology is a hands-on evaluation technique that helps your chiropractor assess:

• Muscle strength and weakness

   

• Joint function and alignment

   

• Neurological responses

   

• Nutritional and metabolic imbalances

   

• Stress patterns in the body

   

By gently testing specific muscles, we can identify the areas that need support, whether that’s a spinal misalignment, muscle imbalance, or stress on the nervous system.

How Applied Kinesiology Helps

Applied Kinesiology provides insight into how different systems of the body interact. When one area is out of balance, it can affect movement, posture, and overall wellness.

Patients often seek AK for:

• Back or neck pain

   

• Muscle weakness or tightness

   

• Postural concerns

   

• Chronic fatigue

   

• Digestive discomfort

   

• Stress-related symptoms

   

• Sports performance and mobility issues

   

Because AK evaluates the root cause rather than just the symptoms, it can play a key role in long-term wellness and corrective care.

What to Expect During an AK Evaluation

Your Applied Kinesiology session is gentle, educational, and completely personalized. Here’s what happens during your visit:

1. Muscle Testing – We evaluate how specific muscles respond to pressure.

    

2. Movement & Posture Assessment – We look at how your body stabilizes, compensates, or strains.
