Applied Kinesiology or AK is a chiropractic technique in diagnosing and treating a patient by looking at a patient’s structural, chemical and emotional aspects of their lives. It achieves to help the patient by addressing the cause of the problem instead of trying to fix or mask the symptoms. AK uses muscle testing as an integral part of practice, but also heavily uses nutrition, biomechanics, Chinese medicine, cranial sacral therapy, and posture to treat its patients.
While there are many practitioners that claim to use AK in their practice, not many of them are certified. To become certified, it is required that a doctor take a minimum of 100 hours of post graduation education and pass a written and practical test. Dr. Spencer Shimabukuro is just one of two certified chiropractors in AK in the South Bay according to the International College of Applied Kinesiology.
