Applied kinesiology (AK) uses the - triad of health - chemical, mental and structural factors - to describe the proper balance of the major health categories. Dr. Richard Destefano is an applied kinesiologist that finds a muscle that tests weak and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. He will then evaluate and apply the therapy that will best eliminate the muscle weakness and help that muscle become balanced with all of the other skeletal muscles allowing the spine to unwind. Dr. Richard Destefano uses AK as an interdisciplinary approach to health care, which draws together the core elements of the complementary therapies, creating a more unified approach to the diagnosis and treatment of functional illness.

With all the options that are available to you today, do you really know which one is the best for you? For example, should you use drugs and pain killers – and if so – for how long?

Now chiropractic treatment can be virtually painless. You see, over 90% of pain is the result of bone misalignments in the spinal column that can be dramatically improved with just a few treatments. In fact, many pain sufferers experience relief after their very first treatment.
Chiropractors are the doctors that specialize in this type of treatment due to their extensive neurological training. Unfortunately, most people that experience pain go to their regular physician. Most physicians haven't received adequate training in this area. In fact, chiropractors have almost 3 times as many hours in neurology as the average physician, and more than 200 additional hours of medical training.

You may have heard the horror stories that chiropractors are "back-crackers?" Nothing could be further from the truth with Dr. Richard Destefano. Most chiropractic treatments are totally painless. Chiropractic treatments are now being recommended for children as young as 3 months of age.

The doctor will sit down with you - one on one - and discuss your history that has led you to this painful point in your life. The doctor can then outline a recommended treatment program that will eliminate your pain, and provide you with information regarding your insurance coverage. Then it's up to you whether to proceed or not.
