An interview with Tedd Koren DC the founder of Koren Specific Technique or KST, also known as Koren KST, a protocol used by many health practitioners, including chiropractors, MDs, massage therapists and osteopaths. In late 2003, as a result of research and clinical experimentation, Dr. Koren developed a new form of patient care. When used as a chiropractic technique patients can be more thoroughly analyzed than ever before, with the adjustments holding for longer periods of time. Additionally the doctor/practitioner can adjust him/herself.

The procedure is made up of three steps (the 3 Cs):

First Step - Challenging, is part of the analysis procedure. In a relatively short period of time the entire structural system can be checked: skull, spine, discs, hips, ribs, sternum, shoulders, arms, legs, hands, feet -- literally anything that is out of position can be analyzed.

Second Step - Checking, tells me if the body part is in its proper position. The base of the skull is used as a yes/no device. This system is akin to muscle testing (applied kinesiology or AK) wherein a muscle will become weak when confronted with a negative impulse.

Third Step - Correcting. When an adjustment is needed the area is corrected using the Arthrostim™ adjusting instrument. The ArthroStim™ is an FDA approved instrument developed by IMPAC technology. It has been continuously refined and perfected over its 22-year history. It introduces energy/force/information to the body to realign segments and remove nerve pressure at a speed of 12 "taps" per second (12 hertz); it is a fast, accurate, low force and controlled adjustment.

The ArthroStim™ gives patients a very specific adjustment, meaning that only the segment that is out of position is adjusted; there is no twisting, turning or "cracking" of joints. This technique permits adjusting in different postures.
