Ever heard of Applied Kinesiology (AK)? It’s like your body's secret messenger, helping us figure out how you’re doing health-wise. We use muscle tests to understand what might be causing trouble in your body.

​

How It Works

The head rests on top of the upper cervical bones, otherwise known as the upper neck bones. Our brains like to sit level with the world. The Upper Cervical bones are the most mobile joints in the body and let us nod our head "Yes" and shake our head "No." However, because they are so mobile, they are also the most likely to get stuck out of their proper position. This takes our head out of level and throws our body off balance.

​

Benefits

Correcting the upper neck bones has more impact on the body than any other place in the spine. An Upper Cervical Adjustment re-balances the head and restores function to the neck.

​

Applications

The lowest portions of the brain stem contain the body's rhythm centers: heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, sleep/wake cycles, and hormone release centers. Also, every nerve that leaves the brain to the rest of the body has to travel through the neck bones first. Fixing the upper cervical bones can improve our body's rhythm and overall function!
