Applied Kinesiology in Ontario

The chiropractor may ask you to hold an arm or leg in a particular position while they apply light pressure and observe the response. Tell them if a movement is painful or uncomfortable.

Muscle testing alone cannot diagnose an injury or replace an appropriate medical examination. Your clinician may recommend further evaluation or a referral based on your symptoms.

Muscle testing should not be used to diagnose food allergies, organ problems, or other medical conditions. Ask about appropriate medical testing if you have those concerns.

A chiropractor may use muscle testing alongside your history, physical examination, and other appropriate assessments. Any recommended care should reflect your individual findings and goals.

Manual muscle testing generally uses light pressure. Let the chiropractor know about any recent injury, pain, or limited mobility so the examination can be adapted.

That depends on your examination and care plan. Your chiropractor can explain the available options and discuss whether an adjustment or another approach is appropriate.

Expect a discussion of the collision, your symptoms, and your health history, followed by an examination. Your clinician can discuss any findings, next steps, and whether another evaluation is needed.
