Applied
Kinesiology is the essence of integrative or wholistic medicine. Represented
by the Triad of Health, AK integrates the disciplines of Chiropractic,
Clinical Nutrition, and Functional Neurology to take the standards of
diagnosis and treatment to a higher level. By considering each patient
as a whole and individual person and looking for the causes underlying
their health issues, AK is uniquely able to identify root causes of chronic
and complex health problems and choose the right therapies to meet your
specific needs. We’ll explain both what AK is
and what it is not.

Chiropractic
is much more than adjusting vertebrae, although this certainly is an important
part of what chiropractors do. As the leading experts in conservative
non-drug therapies, doctors of chiropractic correct imbalances in all
the bodies systems. Structurally, we work with muscles, tendons, ligaments,
fascia, other soft tissues, and bones using a wide range of tools. Dr.
Blumenthal prefers to use the gentlest approaches possible and he is certified
in several different chiropractic techniques which are described on the
following pages.

Your
body depends on chemical reactions to create mental and physical energy,
define your moods, store and retrieve memories, run your digestive, immune,
and reproductive systems, and just about everything else you do. Even
sleep and blood pressure depend on your chemistry. Dr. Blumenthal holds
a Diplomate in Clinical Nutrition and uses vitamins, minerals, amino acids,
enzymes, herbs, and homeopathic remedies to correct and balance your body’s
chemistry and make it run smoothly.
Your nervous system is your body’s “information superhighway”. Completely interdependent and intertwined with your body’s chemistry, this electrical system carries messages from your senses to tell you where you are in time and space and to your muscles and organs to respond accordingly. When everything is working in synch, we respond to our environment appropriately. When we don’t, things can go seriously awry. Dr. Blumenthal is board eligible in neurology and, from autism, Asperger’s and ADHD to movement disorders, traumatic brain injuries, balance problems, post-stroke, and Parkinson’s, we work closely with brain and nervous system based problems by balancing function.
Interactive
Metronome Training (IM)
As an outgrowth of functional neurology, Interactive Metronome training
is a drug-free brain training technology which is effective at turning
on the parts of the brain used in timing, planning, sequencing, focusing,
and attending. Clinically, IM is exceptional for treating Asperger’s
(high functioning autism), attention deficits, OCD and Tourette’s,
and for restoring function in post-stroke and traumatic brain injury patients
as well as selected mild to moderate Parkinson’s and dementia patients.
IM is also phenomenal at increasing academic and sports performance. Typically,
math fluency increases by 1 ½ grade levels, reading by more than
2 grade levels and mental processing speed by nearly 3 grade levels following
about a month of IM training. Golf shot accuracy can increase by 20-28%
and “in the Zone” concentration and focus can increase by
magnitudes.
