Introducing the new Koren “No Crack” Technique! There are many individuals who still think that chiropractic care still uses old fashioned adjusting techniques such as “cracking and popping” in treating patients. If you are one of these individuals who think that chiropractors still use old-fashioned techniques to treat patients, it is high time you let those thoughts go.
Over the past several years chiropractic has evolved significantly to accommodate more effective and gentle techniques that do not involve cracking to treat problems such as low back and neck pain. One of the newest techniques in chiropractic care is known as the Koren Technique that was developed to help chiropractors treat their patients more effectively and safely, providing long lasting results.
Chiropractors use a manual approach in providing preventive care, diagnosis and treating conditions related to the pelvis, joints, spine and the nervous system. The chiropractic care uses a combination of treatments which fits specific needs of an individual. During chiropractic care, a chiropractor diagnoses your problem and then come up with a treatment program that will provide the most effective and long lasting results.
There are some conditions such as neck pain and low back pain where chiropractic care is usually the major form of treatment. In other condition chiropractic, care can act as a complement for other forms of medical treatment by addressing the musculoskeletal aspects of your medical condition. Some of the conditions that may require you to seek the services of a chiropractor include a headache, neck pain, back pain, arthritis, strains and sprains, whiplash, repetitive strain injury and limited motion of joints such as the knee, elbow and shoulder joints.
Chiropractic care aims at achieving three major goals for each patient that comes in, they include:
- Detecting subluxations (or other spinal abnormalities such as herniated or bulging disks) also defined as dysfunctions or misalignments which compromise the nerve system.
- Determining the appropriate way of correcting the subluxation or spinal abnormality.
- Correcting subluxations or abnormalities either by use of manual manipulation techniques or specialized equipment.
The Koren Specific Technique also known as KST is not different. KST also aims at achieving the above goals using specialized chiropractic techniques. Koren technique is usually helpful in improving natural healing, boosting body function, releasing emotional and physical stress and also can go in hand with any healing practice. In fact, there are many professionals’ disciplines who are using KST to improve their performance which include:
1. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners
2. Massage therapists
3. Acupuncture practitioners
4. Cranial-Sacral therapists
5. Doctors of Osteopathy
6. Doctors of Neuropathy
