Inlighted Structure
Kinesiology & Muscle Testing - Chiropractic Adjustments
Inlighted Structure Method includes Muscle Testing and Kinesiology and is the first branch of the Inlighted Method. It utilizes the connection between the brain and various parts of your body to determine where the best place for a gentle and specific adjustment. For example, the deltoid muscle raises the arm to the side. If there is a weakness to resistance, we can trace the nerve back to the spine that supplies the deltoid and adjust that segment. There are two reasons why this is beneficial. First, we have a way to find disruptions in the nerve flow, leading to a more specific and gentle adjustment. Secondly, we have a physical test that we can check after the adjustment to see if there was benefit.
Custom Built Foot Orthotics
“If you have feet, then you have a problem.”
Unfortunately, the ankles are one of the weakest parts of the human frame and one of the most highly used. As we age, due to genetically loose ligaments, or during pregnancy due to the hormone relaxin, the ligaments in our feet and ankles tend to stretch and the arch of the foot falls inward. This is known as pronation. Foot orthotics, also known as shoe inserts or arch supports, help correct improper foot biomechanics as we walk. Improper biomechanics of the feet can cause issues all the way up the chain of movement—not only ankles, but knees, hips, low back, all the way up to the neck. Many patients come to the office with neck and shoulder pain that is alleviated by placing custom built foot orthotics in their shoes. Evaluating the need for foot orthotics is a simple process and can be performed in office in a matter of minutes. The most important difference from our inserts is their immediate comfort, because they are built specifically for you.
