Diagnostics that go deeper.
Applied kinesiology at Back and Body gives Dr. Brad an additional diagnostic lens that most chiropractors do not use. By testing the strength and response patterns of specific muscles, he can identify imbalances and dysfunction that standard exams might miss.
This is not guesswork. Applied kinesiology is a structured diagnostic method used by chiropractors, physicians, and healthcare professionals worldwide. Dr. Brad uses it to understand how your muscles, nerves, and organs are communicating — and where the breakdowns are happening.
The result is more targeted treatment. Instead of a one-size-fits-all adjustment, Dr. Brad can tailor his approach based on what your body is actually telling him. Better diagnostics lead to better outcomes.

Why muscle testing matters.
Find Hidden Problems
Muscle testing can reveal imbalances and dysfunction that X-rays and standard exams miss. Dr. Brad uses it to dig deeper when something does not add up.
More Precise Treatment
When diagnostics are better, treatment is better. Applied kinesiology helps Dr. Brad target exactly what your body needs instead of following a generic protocol.
Whole-Body Assessment
Applied kinesiology evaluates the relationship between muscles, nerves, and organs. It looks at the whole picture, not just the area where you feel pain.
Non-Invasive & Painless
No needles, no machines, no discomfort. Just gentle manual muscle testing that gives Dr. Brad real-time feedback about how your body is functioning.
What it can reveal.
How muscle testing works.
Assessment
Dr. Brad tests specific muscles by applying gentle pressure while you resist. The strength or weakness of each muscle response reveals information about the corresponding body systems.
Analysis
Based on the muscle testing results, Dr. Brad identifies patterns of imbalance — whether structural, nutritional, or neurological. This gives him a more complete picture of what is going on.
Treatment
The findings guide a targeted treatment plan. Dr. Brad may adjust specific areas, recommend nutritional support, or combine therapies based on what your body revealed during testing.
