Applied Kinesiology, founded by Dr. George Goodheart, uses the idea that our body responds to positive and negative energy. If something is positive for us our body is strengthened by it such as our immune system, organs and muscles. Whereas if something is negative for us our body is weakened in all areas as well as the muscles. This is the basis on how muscle testing works and through it we are able to access the subconscious mind to know what the real issue is.
Through this technique Dr. Josef Patterson has incorporated multiple energy healing modalities to work to identify the root cause of his patients problems.
Even though Dr. Patterson has added variations of Activator Technique and Webster Technique to his style of adjusting, he primarily uses Diversified Technique.
Diversified Technique in adjusting utilizes “a short (low-amplitude), quick (high-velocity) thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint.” (See here).
Whatever your adjustment needs may be, we are your Salt Lake City Chiropractic Doctor.
The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro- biomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved. (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. About the Webster Technique - Click here.
The Webster Technique does not claim to treat the growing baby in the womb or to treat or attempt to “flip” breech babies. If there are concerns about the baby, the mother ought to consult with her Obstetrician.
The Emotion Code was founded by Dr. Bradley Nelson who, with the help of Chinese Medicine, developed this technique as a means to clear emotional baggage. Everyone can relate to the fact that we sometimes hold onto different emotions at different times and even carry them with us throughout our life. This technique utilizes Applied Kinesiology (a type of muscle testing), to identify what emotions are blocking some aspect of health in the patient.
Dr. Bradley Nelson states that about 80 to 90 percent of all of our physical issues have emotional components to them. Clearing these “trapped emotions” can allow the body to have the ability to heal.
The Emotion Code does not claim to cure any disease. If a patient is concerned about pathogenicity or disease, he or she should consult the care of their medical doctor.
The Body Code goes a level beyond the Emotion Code in that there are other reasons or energies that may be causing an imbalance in a patient's body. The body is composed of all kinds of energies, and the Body Code works to identify those other causes beyond emotions.
Once again this technique uses Applied Kinesiology to identify these imbalances within the body. The Body Code goes into energies that are toxic, energies that are blocking proper function of a circuit or system within the body, energetic pathogens, energetic misalignments, and energetic nutrition and lifestyle imbalances.
Many times there are imbalances that we find within the Body Code that are caused by emotions anyway.
The Morphogenic Field Technique uses Applied Kinesiology to identify collapses within the energy field of a patient and uses nutrition and herbs to expand the collapsed field. This technique accomplishes this through the use of filter vials that have the energies of problems a patient may have within them. These may include vials to identify energetic digestive issues, organ or gland issues, and/or immune system issues.
Once the issue is identified that is causing the energy field collapse, the Morphogenic Field Technique seeks to find the proper nutritional or herbal support that will correct that issue.
