George Goodheart, a chiropractor, was a pioneer in advancing the theories that form the basis of applied kinesiology today. According to the International College of Applied Kinesiology, Goodheart observed as far back as the mid-1960s that manual testing of a patient’s muscle function could be used to develop specific chiropractic methods designed to make dysfunctional muscles balanced. Goodheart’s work led him to explore areas beyond his own profession, including biochemistry, the effects of nutrition, and alternative therapies like acupuncture and psychology. His insights allowed him to establish the systematic, holistic way of examining and treating patients that developed into applied kinesiology. Today, applied kinesiology is also known as muscle strength testing. Its advocates work to demonstrate how it can be useful in identifying and treating nutritional problems and conditions affecting the nervous system, among other issues. In 1980, Goodheart became the first-ever chiropractor to hold a place on the medical team working with the athletes on the United States Olympic roster, for the Winter Games held in Lake Placid, New York. He died in 2008.
Nevada chiropractor Dr. Timothy Francis has completed extensive training in the areas of homeopathy, naturopathy, and applied kinesiology. He is a diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK) and the British Institute of Homeopathy and has earned a doctor of chiropractic degree, magna cum laude. Dr. Timothy Francis teaches applied kinesiology at the ICAK meetings and maintains his own holistic chiropractic practice.Spinal manipulation therapy is designed to relieve pressure on the nerves and reduce inflammation in the body by combining nutrition, diet, meridian balancing, herbs, homeopathy, emotional clearing, exercise, and movement of the joints. To perform this type of treatment, chiropractors apply sudden, controlled force to particular joints in the body, which often results in popping noises that are concerning to some. Despite the sounds, spinal manipulation is considered safe and extremely effective when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner.The primary goal of spinal manipulation is pain relief and correction of the cause of the symptoms. The treatment usually helps patients relieve some or all of the pain in their back, neck, shoulders, and head. For many patients, pain relief does not come until after several sessions with a chiropractor, but some patients experience relief in just one visit. Because of this pain relief, some patients can reduce their dependence on pain medications and may even avoid surgery. Patients may also experience the benefit of increased flexibility.
