Applied Kinesiology in Larchmont
Dealing with stubborn discomfort that doesn’t seem to respond to traditional approaches? Looking for care that addresses more than just surface-level symptoms? If yes, Applied Kinesiology (AK) may be exactly what you need. At The Family Chiropractic Office, Dr. Henry Cohen uses this advanced technique to uncover the root causes of muscle weakness, imbalance, and dysfunction—helping your body function at its best from the inside out.
Applied Kinesiology goes beyond standard adjustments by evaluating how well your muscles support your joints and spine. When muscles aren’t working as they should, it affects everything from your posture and movement to your energy and overall well-being. Our chiropractor takes the time to understand why a muscle is weak and what’s needed to restore balance, so you can move better, feel stronger, and enjoy lasting relief.
Understanding How Applied Kinesiology Works
Applied Kinesiology is a diagnostic approach that uses muscle testing to assess the health and function of your body’s systems. Dr. Cohen evaluates each muscle to determine whether it’s contributing properly to the movement and stability of your joints and spine. For a muscle to be truly strong and healthy, it needs correct nerve supply, adequate blood flow, proper lymphatic drainage, and, in some cases, balanced nutrition and alignment with acupuncture meridians.
By integrating all of these factors, our chiropractor creates a complete picture of what’s happening in your body. This allows him to address not just the muscle itself, but the underlying imbalances that may be affecting your health. Because muscles move bones, ensuring they’re well-balanced is essential for a healthy, well-functioning spine and body structure.
What to Expect
Every AK session at The Family Chiropractic Office begins with a thorough range-of-motion assessment to see which joints are moving well and which are restricted. Dr. Cohen uses hands-on palpation to assess muscle spasms, tightness, or changes in tone, and may also use physiotherapy, ultrasound, or gentle manual adjustments. You’ll receive personalized guidance on exercises and at-home strategies to support your progress.
