The Neurological Rationale for a Comprehensive Clinical Protocol Using Applied Kinesiology Techniques
Walter Schmitt, D.C, D.I.B.A.K
ABSTRACT
A procedural protocol for the application of applied kinesiology techniques is presented. It is based on neurological and biochemical principles and thirty years of clinical observations of comparative applications of techniques. Short summaries of each section are included prior to the section to enable a brief review of the information.
CHRONIC PAIN
32. If Chronic or Persistent Pain: Use LQM Technique
Summary: The application of LQM technique will be applicable in chronic pain after all other procedures have neurologically and biochemically paved the way for its effective use.
If there is still pain, especially if the pain is of a chronic nature, then LQM (location, quality, memory of the pain) technique is appropriate. But prior to checking for LQM, restoration of balance to the cortex (and likely the cerebellum) is necessary, both to allow identification of the LQM problem as well as to enhance treatment effectiveness. In fact, some LQM problems will not even show up until all the other pain relief techniques (especially IRT and NSB) have been employed.
The cells involved with LQM are presumably cortical cells associated with each of the brain areas for L, Q, and M. Therefore, this technique is left until the end so that all other more general effects on the cortex and cerebellum, structural, visceral, and chemical, have been corrected. In patients who still have pain of a chronic nature after all of the previous protocol steps have been completed, it is likely that there is an over firing of pain perception neurons in an isolated area related to the patient’s problem. It appears that during LQM technique, those over facilitated neurons are activated when the patient thinks of L, Q, and/or M, and the same neurons become inhibited back to a normal state in the presence of tapping of the appropriate acupuncture head point.
After using LQM technique, if there is still persistent pain, other pain relief techniques may be employed. The AK tonification point technique (analysis of pulse points, alarm points, and finally identification of one tonification point) is a good choice, or any other approach known to provide relief. The rare cases that still report pain at this point may just require time for tissues to heal, or there may be a pathology present that must be differentially diagnosed.
CONCLUSIONS
The protocol presented herein is the result of thirty years of clinical observations presented in the light of modern neurology and functional biochemistry. At some point or other in the protocol, all known essential nutrients will be tested. All fundamental AK principles will have been screened for, either in their original form or with updated methods. Admittedly, there are natural therapies not included herein, most importantly those associated with altered neuronal metabolic function (transneural degeneration) as taught in chiropractic neurology programs. The assessment for and the application of these therapies can be correlated with the procedures discussed in this paper, but their discussion is the stuff of a future presentation.
Virtually all other natural therapies can be appropriately placed in this protocol. AK is an open system. This protocol is a comprehensive, well thought out, application of this open system. It is tight. It is complete. But, it is open to other therapies: past, present, and future.
These therapies may be added to the protocol like decorative ornaments on a Christmas tree. Like the decorated tree, there is an optimal system of placement. Large ornaments are placed on the bottom branches, small ornaments on the higher branches, tinsel on the outer branches, and a star on top. The trunk of the tree is muscle testing as functional neurological and neurochemical assessment. All other procedures discussed have been neurologically and biochemically placed as appropriate.
There is a physiologically optimal system of approaching a patient. I submit that this protocol represents the optimal approach to quality patient care… and the star on top of this skillfully decorated tree is the healthy patient who is the beneficiary of well designed care.
