The Koren Specific Technique (KST) is a fairly new and innovative chiropractic technique, now offered in Calgary. It is very gentle, yet very effective. KST involves specific yet gentle adjustments to treat subluxations misalignment anywhere in the body.
It differs from the traditional chiropratic techniques in that it does not involve any sudden movements or noises in carrying out the adjustments.
This technique is also quick and easy, as it does not require the use of an adjusting table, since it is usually done with the patient either sitting or standing.
The KST Procedure
The KST procedure is carried out in three steps.
Challenging: This is the analyzing stage where the entire body structure is analyzed.
Checking: To determine which body structures are aligned and which need to be adjusted.
Correcting: Those areas that need adjusting are corrected using an adjusting instrument called the Arthrostim™.
The ArthroStim™
The ArthroStim™ is an FDA approved instrument that gives a low force, fast, but accurate adjustment. The ArthroStim™ adjusts only the structure that is out of alignment, making it ideal for making adjustments with the body in a variety of postures.
KST is considered to be one of the most gentle chiropractic techniques and as such is ideally suited for treating small children and elderly patients.
