The above question is most likely what you are asking yourself when you hear us announce that we now offer the KST healing protocol. After all, it is human nature to be curious and it is even more so to want to know how it can relate to you. We are always asking questions. What’s for dinner? Did I leave the oven turned on? What am I doing with my life? We ask questions and we want answers for those questions. We have problems and we want results to those problems.

First to answer your curiosity, KST stands the Koren Specific Technique. It was developed by Dr. Tedd Koren, who built upon the research of past doctors. It is a holistic healing method that focuses on what your specific body needs for optimal health. KST focuses on the three causes of subluxation (interference in the nervous systems ability to communicate with the body). Those three causes are traumas (physical injuries), toxins (bad chemicals in our air, food, and medications), and thoughts (bad emotions that are out of control). Our bodies are built to always regenerate themselves from birth until death. As long as the body regenerates itself faster than it is worn down, you are healthy. However, if it wears down faster than it rebuilds, then you are sick. Chiropractic is all about finding what (subluxation) is stopping your body from healing itself and removing that interference. KST simply streamlines the process to find these interference which may not always be readily noticeable to either the doctor OR the patient.

Secondly to answer your practicality, KST can help you because it produces results. You may have a recurring problem that doesn’t quit no matter how many ways you treat it because you have not treated the cause of the problem. You may be seeing a chiropractor who adjusts all your vertebrae back into place, yet an emotional outburst or hazardous chemicals may be causing you to lose your adjustment. You might think that chiropractic only fixes your back without realizing that your arms and legs can also subluxate. You must find the cause if you wish to take care of the effect. You must find out what activity provokes your body into problems.

For example, a chiropractor x-rays your body while you are standing so that they can see how gravity affects your spine. However, if you are only adjusted while lying down, how can you be sure that every subluxation was corrected when gravity was not affecting your spine? If you only have pain when you walk, clean, play guitar, bowl, etc., then how can you be sure your problem was removed as you were peacefully lying still? These are questions that need answers and KST can provide those answers. Please ask your chiropractor in Spartanburg today if KST is right for you. Your body will thank you.
