Koren Specific Technique

I’ve been a Chiropractor since March 16, 1984 when I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
To maintain my license to practice I have to take at least 24 hours each year of continuing education. So, within those many, many years I’ve taken a lot of seminars on a lot of subjects that are designed to make me a better doctor in all kinds of aspects.
But, of all the seminars I’ve ever taken that helps me to dramatically help people, more than any other, I have to tell you that none come close to the Koren Specific Technique (KST) seminar (s)! No exceptions. I attend as many KST seminars as I possibly can each year. I’m constantly studying and applying all that I learn from these amazing KST experiences so that my patients truly do experience «miracles» in their health.
KST is the art of asking the patient’s body questions (challenging) using a simple biofeedback device (called the occipital drop) and interpreting the answer. KST respects the wisdom of the body. Because of that I can ask the body all kinds of questions… I’m only limited by the questions I ask. I’m like a detective getting to bottom line to find out what their body wants and needs which is totally opposite of the doctor who «thinks» they know what the body wants and needs based on their assumptions which are usually wrong.
This «challenging» of the body is nothing new. Physiologists and clinicians have long known that the body reacts to stress in many ways: Muscles weaken, the leg appears to shorten, sweat responds, body rhythm changes and much more.
We KST practitioners use the occipital drop (OD) in which the skull appears to drop a little on one side if stress was caused by the challenge.
The correction is performed according to what I found. Just like all KST doctors, I use an instrument called the Arthrostim which is a very gentle low force that is perfect for a new born or an elderly person or even a professional athlete.
KST is not a disease treatment or therapy. KST’s purpose is to locate and release physical and emotional blockages, trauma, subluxations, disorders, stress and interference to proper body function. Whatever condition a person may be suffering from they definitely need to have a body functioning at its peak potential. KST’s purpose is to help the body function as close to its ideal as possible.
I can analyze my patients and correct their conditions standing, sitting, lying down or in nearly any position of dysfunction. I can actually correct them by also having them get into the position of the injury that caused them the problems in the first place.
With KST I can specifically and accurately analyze and correct a patient’s subluxations/​disharmony anywhere in their body and body/​mind; the entire structural system including the spine, cranial/​facial /​TMJ complex, pectoral and pelvic girdles, sternum, discs, extremities, glands, valves and internal organs. Other issues that I address include dental issues, allergies, toxicity, dehydration, disks, migraines, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, emotional tress, PMS, snoring, panic attacks, hypertension, sciatica, Dowager’s Hump, visual problems as well as many, many others.
The benefits are many: Corrections hold longer, immediate postural changes, no popping, twisting, pulling, cracking — none of that! No over-​adjusting, no x-ray’s, no adjusting table, no analytical instruments, and patient’s absolutely love the miracle like results!
I don’t have an office, rather I do «concierge chiropractic» in that I do KST in people’s home or office. You can learn a little bit more about that from my
site.
Bottom Line: If you’re a doctor of any kind you need to look into KST. If you’re a patient you need to find a KST practitioner near you by going to:
