KST is a highly systematic, full-body technique that assesses and corrects the entire spine and cranial system — addressing emotional and physical components of health that other approaches miss.
Overview
Koren Specific Technique (KST) was developed by Dr. Tedd Koren as a comprehensive system for locating and correcting vertebral and cranial subluxations throughout the entire body. What makes KST unique is its use of binary biofeedback (a form of muscle testing) to communicate directly with the patient's own nervous system — asking the body what it needs corrected and in what order.
How It Works
KST uses a handheld instrument (the ArthroStim) to deliver gentle, rapid impulses to precise locations identified through biofeedback testing. The approach assesses the full spine, cranial bones, and extremities in each session. KST also addresses the emotional components of physical dysfunction through specific protocols — a recognition that stress, trauma, and emotional patterns are stored in the body and contribute to physical symptoms.
Key Benefits
- Full-body assessment and correction in every session
- Addresses cranial and sacral components often missed by other techniques
- Incorporates emotional and stress components of physical health
- Highly precise — guided by the patient's own nervous system
- Gentle and comfortable for all ages
- Effective for complex, multi-system health problems
Conditions Treated
What to Expect
KST sessions are typically 15–30 minutes. Dr. Cayer performs a systematic assessment of the entire system using biofeedback, then delivers corrections with the ArthroStim. Patients often report feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease immediately after treatment — reflecting the combined structural and neurological effects.
KST is particularly powerful for patients with complex health histories, stress-related conditions, or problems that haven't fully resolved with other forms of chiropractic care.
