Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology (A.K.) is a system using muscle testing as a functional neurological evaluation.
The methodology is concerned primarily with neuromuscular function as it relates to the structural, chemical, and mental physiologic regulatory mechanisms. A.K., which originated within the chiropractic profession, is an approach to clinical practice, with multidisciplinary applications.
Applied Kinesiology IS:
- A diagnostic system using muscle testing to augment normal examination procedures. It was founded and developed by Dr. George Goodheart, Jr., a chiropractor. Further advances have been made by other researchers from various disciplines.
- A diagnostic tool that uses the neuromuscular system and other measurable parameters to aid in evaluating what is wrong and what to do for a patient.
- An applied kinesiology examination depends upon knowledge of functional neurology, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and biochemistry and is combined with standard physical examination procedures, laboratory findings, X-rays, and history taking.
- An expanding body of knowledge that covers in depth the structural and chemical imbalances that are at the base of most patients’ problems.
- Is based on chiropractic principles and requires manual manipulation of the spine, extremities, and cranial bones as the structural basis of its procedures.
Applied Kinesiology IS NOT:
- A simple yes/no, radionics or pendulum-type testing system.
- Testing bottles in the hand or pills on the skin.
- Testing using mental telepathy.
- Using crystals or magnets as treatment modalities.
- Touch for health or any of the other forms of evaluation using muscle testing as a simple yes/no answer system.
- A simplistic, cookie-cutter approach to treatment.

Been meaning to leave a review for months. Dr. Sebastian, Robin and the rest of the team were super helpful in both customer service and alleviating my constant back pain. 7 months after my last treatment I still feel great. I was most impressed by their understanding of my family relocating and them providing reimbursement for the remaining sessions I had. Thanks guys!

I love this place! I found it by divine guidance, and it is certainly the place I needed. I received a massage there and have recently started adjustments with Dr. Sebastian. RELIEF!!! My only complaint is that I went out of town shortly after I started my treatment... cannot wait to resume! It is a well-run, professional, & nurturing business. Do yourself a loving favor & make an appointment there! Your body will thank you.

My back was in such severe pain I visited the emergency room the week before Christmas. After the holiday I scheduled a new patient appointment with Dr. Sebastian. I’ve lived in the area since the 80’s and have always know Dr. Sebastian was one of the best. Several treatments were administered and after the appointment I had immediate pain relief. I’m visiting Dr. Sebastian again today and looking forward to it. Thank you Dr. Sebastian and his team for everything you do.

I came to see Dr. Sebastian for a pinched nerve in my neck. I also had back pain in my lower right quadrant. I was more than a little skeptical, but the pain had become more than a nuisance. Upon examination, he explained his findings in a readily understandable friendly manner. Overtime, the pain was alleviated and I have been pain frèe for about 6 months. Thank you, Doc. Along the way, my lower back pain disappeared too. Thank you, Doc. Hîs staff is excellent and friendly too. I highly recommend the good Doc.

Dr Sebastian is the best chiropractor I have ever used. I've had great results here with treatment of acute sports injuries in my knee and neck. When I started regular visits after my last injury, I found that I felt noticeably better all around, and have suffered far fewer incidents of pain and inflammation after a hard workout than I felt before. Highly recommended.

I made an appointment because my back was bothering me. When I woke up the morning of the appointment my back was ok. I still went to the appointment because I felt I should keep my word. The staff were very friendly and after checking my spine the doctor agreed that I didn’t need further treatment. He called it a consultation and I wasn’t charged anything! Very refreshing! I’ll definitely go back when if I need help.
