Applied Kinesiology

A Whole-Body Approach to Understanding Your Health

At Lakeshore Chiropractic, we offer Applied Kinesiology (AK) as part of our holistic approach to diagnosing and treating the root cause of discomfort. Applied Kinesiology is a non-invasive technique that uses muscle testing, structural evaluation, and neurological responses to understand how your body is functioning as a whole.

This method allows us to look beyond symptoms and uncover underlying imbalances that may be affecting your health, mobility, or daily comfort.

What Is Applied Kinesiology?

Applied Kinesiology is a hands-on evaluation technique that helps your chiropractor assess:

  • Muscle strength and weakness
  • Joint function and alignment
  • Neurological responses
  • Nutritional and metabolic imbalances
  • Stress patterns in the body

By gently testing specific muscles, we can identify the areas that need support, whether that’s a spinal misalignment, muscle imbalance, or stress on the nervous system.

How Applied Kinesiology Helps

Applied Kinesiology provides insight into how different systems of the body interact. When one area is out of balance, it can affect movement, posture, and overall wellness.

Patients often seek AK for:

  • Back or neck pain
  • Muscle weakness or tightness
  • Postural concerns
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Digestive discomfort
  • Stress-related symptoms
  • Sports performance and mobility issues

Because AK evaluates the root cause rather than just the symptoms, it can play a key role in long-term wellness and corrective care.

Why Choose Lakeshore Chiropractic for Applied Kinesiology?

Our Sarasota chiropractic team uses Applied Kinesiology to enhance your treatment plan and personalize your care. With AK, we can:

  • Improve diagnostic accuracy
  • Understand how stress affects movement
  • Identify hidden imbalances
  • Tailor chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercises
  • Create a complete, whole-body wellness plan

Our goal is simple: help you move better, feel better, and function at your best, no matter your age or lifestyle.

What to Expect During an AK Evaluation

Your Applied Kinesiology session is gentle, educational, and completely personalized. Here’s what happens during your visit:

  1. Muscle Testing – We evaluate how specific muscles respond to pressure.
  2. Movement & Posture Assessment – We look at how your body stabilizes, compensates, or strains.
  3. Chiropractic Insight – Based on testing, we identify which areas need support or correction.
  4. Personalized Recommendations – You may receive chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, or wellness advice based on your results.

Most patients find AK relaxing, informative, and highly accurate in identifying issues they’ve struggled to pinpoint.

Is Applied Kinesiology Right for You?

Applied Kinesiology can benefit anyone looking for deeper insight into their health, from athletes and active adults to seniors, busy parents, and individuals seeking holistic wellness.

If you’re experiencing pain, weakness, or unexplained discomfort, AK may provide the clarity you need for effective, targeted care.
