When you experience chronic pain, fatigue, or illness, your body is trying to communicate that something is structurally, chemically, or emotionally out of balance. Traditional medicine often treats the symptom, but at Phelts Chiropractic PC, we treat the root cause using Applied Kinesiology (AK).
How Applied Kinesiology Works
Applied Kinesiology uses specific muscle testing to evaluate the body's functional health and pinpoint underlying dysfunctions. Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. uses AK to determine if a muscle has too little or too much tone. By identifying these neurological short-circuits, AK also corrects muscle imbalances that can cause low back and joint dysfunction and pain, restoring proper structural support to your skeletal system.
The Modalities Within Applied Kinesiology
It is important to understand that Applied Kinesiology is a comprehensive diagnostic system. Nutrition Response Testing (NRT), allergy clearing techniques, phobia clearing techniques, and chiropractic care are all distinct, powerful modalities within Applied Kinesiology.
- Chiropractic & Muscle Balancing: Once we determine which muscles have abnormal tone, we use targeted chiropractic adjustments to align the spine and restore the nervous system's proper function.
- Nutrition Response Testing (NRT): We use reflex testing to identify specific nutritional deficiencies or organ stressors, allowing us to prescribe the exact whole-food supplements your body needs to heal chemically.
- Allergy Clearing (HST): Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. uses the Hypothalamic Set Point Technique (HST) to desensitize patients to allergens. HST involves the use of acupoints and natural antihistamines to clear and cure people of their allergies. It works very well, as you can see in our Google reviews!
- Phobia Clearing Techniques: We use specific neurological protocols to decouple emotional trauma and deep-seated fears from the physical stress response, allowing patients to overcome severe phobias.
Comprehensive Wellness Technologies
In addition to our hands-on modalities, we offer advanced non-invasive natural therapies to rebuild your body and face.
EMSCULPT NEO for Core and Recovery
We offer EMSCULPT NEO, which is FDA approved for pain management. Research studies show that it is highly helpful for surgical and injury recovery/rehabilitation. It combines HIFEM and RF technology to build an average of 25% more muscle, reduce fat by 30%, and reduce Diastasis Recti by an average of 19%.
EMSELLA for Pelvic Health
The EMSELLA chair is FDA approved for the treatment of urinary incontinence. It treats men with erectile dysfunction and women who want to improve vaginal tightness, lubrication, and comfort.
When discussing the value of EMSELLA treatments vs doing Kegels, remember: There is no resistance or load when doing Kegels. Research shows that strengthening muscles, including pelvic floor muscles, requires resistance exercise. As resistance increases, more muscle fibers are recruited, which results in stronger muscles. Kegels improve strength minimally, because there is no progressive resistance and only a few muscle fibers are recruited and they fire minimally.
EMSELLA stimulates all muscle fibers to contract maximally for maximum strengthening. The increase in muscle also causes the body to create more blood vessels in the area via a process called angiogenesis, which in turn further increases blood flow to the area for firmer erections in men and better arousal and lubrication in women.
EMFACE for Facial Rejuvenation and TMJ
EMFACE is FDA cleared for the treatment of TMJ. It is a needle-free procedure that simultaneously treats facial skin and muscles. Clinical studies show: 37% Less Wrinkles. 23% More Lift. 64% reduction of dark circles. 28% reduction of crow's feet. 1.4 ml puffiness volume reduction. 25% skin evenness improvement. 95% patient satisfaction. 36% Double-Chin Reduction.
