Are you hoping to find a chiropractic adjustment that lasts for a longer period of time?
All chiropractic techniques aim to provide you with physical relief, some chiropractors will even pair your adjustments with therapeutic exercises that you can practice at home. But more often than not, you’ll need to return to the chiropractor as your body shifts back into old patterns and discomfort returns.
Yet, there are some chiropractic techniques that have longer-lasting effects. At our Littleton chiropractic clinic, we specialize in Koren Specific Technique (KST), which is known to provide more relief and, ultimately, require fewer trips to the chiropractor.
Keep reading to learn more about KST and how it can help you!
What is the KST Chiropractic Technique?
When most people think of going to the chiropractor, they picture getting their bodies twisted around until they pop. If the idea of these “hard cracks” makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. In fact, it often deters people from seeking out chiropractic care altogether.
KST is a gentler technique. No twisting, grunting, popping, or cracking. Instead of positioning your body into various poses, your chiropractor will use a device that delivers precise, low-force taps to your body.
Not only does it employ less force, but it’s been heavily researched and reported in numerous medical journals to have results that last longer. In many cases, with dedicated care, chronic pain disappears over time.
The KST chiropractor technique was developed by Tedd Koren in 2003. A prominent chiropractor, Koren was convinced there had to be a way to achieve better, longer-lasting results. He avidly studied the work of other practitioners, building on his already comprehensive knowledge of chiropractic care. And experimented with various techniques, using his own physical pain to determine the effectiveness of each of them. It was through this method of trial and error that KST was discovered.
To quote Dr. Koren, “KST is a healing protocol used to locate and correct/release areas of blockage, distortion, subluxation, interference, stagnation and other stresses in the body and body/mind that are often missed by most healthcare professionals.“
KST focuses on the three main types of subluxation – a term referring to the interference of the nervous system’s ability to communicate with the body. It is through the nervous system that our muscles, organs, and major systems of the body receive information. Interferences can prevent you from feeling your best and your body from functioning optimally. They can affect everything from physical discomfort and pain to irregular digestion and allergies to depression and anxiety.
Three types of stress that cause subluxation are:
- Physical stress or injuries
- Mental emotional stress or negative thoughts and emotions
- Chemical stress or toxins
What to Expect at Your KST Appointment
When you first arrive at our Littleton clinic for your KST appointment, we will examine your body for any subluxations with state-of-the-art scans, noting where those nervous system interferences are taking place.
Once the chiropractor reviews the scans with you, highlighting any problem areas, your appointment will end with a KST adjustment and a plan for long-term healing.
