Applied Kinesiology
What Is Applied Kinesiology?
Applied Kinesiology is a form of alternative medicine. It’s a way of accessing the body to find if there’s an imbalance. In order to achieve genuine well-being, patients need to be assessed and treated using the “Triad of Health”.
- Structure: Assessing your spine and cranium is imperative as they protect and control your central and peripheral nervous systems.
- Chemical: Evalutating toxins and environmental toxins, plus what your body is lacking, for example nutrients. Here we evaluate your diet, digestion, allergies, cleansing, and detoxing to determine what nutrition is needed.
- Emotional: Evaluated by Neuro Emotional Technique. NET is a mind body technique that uses a methodology of finding and removing neurological imbalances related to the physiology of unresolved stress.estive
Applied Kinesiology specialists utilize manual muscle-strength testing to determine bodily strengths and weaknesses. It is often used in combination with other practices. Whereas chiropractic focuses on the spine and your bone structure, Applied Kinesiology tests the strength of your organs and examines your muscles and other parts of the body.
Testing
During an appointment, our certified Applied Kinesiologist Specialist will introduce you to several different tests. These tests are used to narrow down potential problem areas that prevent optimal wellness. After diagnosis, your doctor will be able to prescribe a recommended treatment plan.
Types of testing include:
- Manual Muscle Test: Resisting force applied to a muscle or muscle group
- Delta Test, or “arm-pull-down” test: Resisting attempts to apply downward force to an extended arm
- Nutrient Test: Muscle exposure to different stimulants to potentially pinpoint allergies
- Therapy Localization: Examines muscle response to having a hand placed over an area
- Additional Allergen Testing
- Food Sensitivity Testing

Applied Kinesiology Success Stories
“My wife and I are recent “transplants” from Illinois and sought to resume our Chiropractic care. By chance, we found Dr. Vaughan. We have found her passion to provide good health to be exceptional! Combining Kinesiology with Chiropractic has produced amazing results for both of us. Thank you Dr. Kristi for your care and compassion!” – Terry & Debbi V.
“Dr. Vaughan has been awesome. I was rear-ended about 5 weeks ago and suffered from whiplash, a concussion, and a pretty severe back strain. She has dramatically helped relieve my neck and back pain. She’s also used her skills with applied kinesiology to advise me on certain changes I needed to make in my diet. I’ve also had to take my 3 & 5 yr olds with me to all of my appointments and she and her staff have been super sweet and accommodating. Would DEFINITELY recommend her services.
I would also like to add that Michelle the massage therapist is AMAZING!! She applies just the right amount of firm pressure without hurting you and keeps the communication open which I love. Always checking to see how Im feeling. She is also super sweet and very comforting.” –Genevieve D.
“I went to see Dr. Vaughan for a pain in my arm that kept getting worse with time. She proceeded to give me 4 laser treatments, and after the fifth treatment, the pain had gone away. I was also very impressed with Dr. Vaughan’s ability to determine the root cause of a problem through thorough muscle testing. I love her Holistic approach to healing.” –Sylvia A.
“I was suffering from frozen shoulder and the pain was all over my arm. My range of motion was so limited. I tried PY and chiro but no change. I visited Dr Kristi and although I only had 2 sessions the result is amazing. My pain is reduced and my range of motion is much better. Thank you Dr. Kristi. You are great!” –Nasrin N.
