Koren Specific Technique

At Winters Wellness we offer a unique, breakthrough approach to patient care called Koren Specific Technique (KST). There is no twisting, turning, “cracking” or “popping” of joints with KST. Instead, you receive very gentle, specific corrections to your spine and structural system. With this technique we are able to adjust all areas of the body with very light force.

Correcting Subluxations

We are correcting a serious form of nerve stress caused by distortions or misalignments in your spine and body structure. This stress or misalignment is known as subluxation. Subluxations can cause physical and mental/emotional malfunction. They are often associated with loss of energy, pain, weakness and disease of all types. Because your Central Nervous System controls the function of your entire body, any stress or interference on your spinal cord and nervous system will result in lowered function of the body as a whole.

What Causes Subluxations?

Subluxations may be caused by physical, chemical, or emotional stress or trauma. These can come in the form of slips, falls, auto accidents, childhood traumas or even the birthing process itself. Our purpose in this office is to remove this stress from your body so that you may function at a higher level of health.

Gentle, Yet Powerful

Koren Specific Technique is a very gentle process that results in powerful changes in the body. Patients usually notice dramatic changes even after the first visit. Your body will likely hold its corrections for a much longer time with KST, allowing you to go for longer periods between adjustments. The arthrostim instrument we use with KST taps at 12 times per second--the same rate of firing in the area of the brain that controls the
muscles. This allows a ridiculously light force to result in huge change in the nervous system. We find that children especially like to be corrected in this manner--many even say it tickles! Infants often smile during the procedure due to the soothing vibration.

How It Works

During each session, your structural system is scanned for subluxations as a certain body part is gently moved in various directions. If a that body part is out of its correct position, we will notice on your scan that the base of your skull (your occipital bone) will drop lightly on the left. This is called the occipital drop (OD) and is a binary neurological biofeedback device. That body part is then corrected and moved back into its proper position.

Retracing

Patients often experience retracing as deep, unhealthy stresses leave their body. This is an essential aspect of the journey toward health and wellness. At each session we correct the issues that your body is expressing at that time. Older injuries, distortions, subluxations and symptoms (both physical & emotional) may surface at later sessions. The release of old injuries is part of the healing process. On occasion, patients will experience “cleansing” symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, rash, etc. as their body rids itself of toxins and stresses.

Postures

A major advantage of KST is that it permits you to be analyzed and adjusted in different postures: standing, sitting, lying down, etc. This is very important as some subluxation can only be observed when you are in a certain posture. For example, if your injuries are due to an auto accident, your subluxations may only be revealed and completely corrected while you are in a seated position.
