1.STRUCTURE
As a Chiropractor, Dr. Cohoon focuses on your structural integrity, which is the foundation for your health. Everyone knows that your home must have a solid foundation in order to last, so why should your body's health be any different? The human body requires nerve communication for every function. When structures interfere with nerve flow, health is compromised! Pain and illness are actually warning signs of interference.
Structural interference can be cuased by:
 1. Spinal sublusations or misalignments - resulting in pinched nerves or bulging discs.
2. Extremity sublusations - ex: Carpal Tunnel or Tarsal Tunnel
3. TMJ dysfunction
4. Fascial restricitons - fascia wraps your brain, spinal cord, muscles, and organs
5. CrainioSacral imalances
All of thes could be caused by traumas such as:
With the combination of A.K. and other diagnostic procedures, Dr. Cohoon will be able to determine if your problem is structurally related and find the best treatment for you.
2. CHEMICAL
Most of us have heard the saying, "you are what you eat." At Cohoon Kinesiology, we take it one step further. We believe, " you are what you eat, digest, and absorb!" The Standard American Diet has left most of us lacking important nutrients. In addition, the amount of simple sugars and other harmful ingredients in today's processed foods actually INHIBIT our body's lines of defense against infection. On the other hand, if you are someone who actually eats a balanced diet, you may not be reaping the benefits. Improper food combinations or incomplete digestion may be robbing you of these vital nutrients.
Allergies and sensitivities fall under the chemical side of the Triad. There are three basic types of allergies:
-
Dust pollens, molds, andother environmental substances
-
Food or food additives such as milk, soy, gluten, or MSG
-
Antigenic responses to the body's own tissue
With an allergy or sensitivity your body is overreacting to something that may be harmless to someone else, but may be very harmful to you! Dr. Cohoon can determine, using A.K. and other tests, what you need to avoid and eliminate from your diet or environment.
Also affecting your body's chemistry is pH. Are you too acidic or too alkaline or a combination of both? Improper pH can lead to problems such as arthritis, bursitis, allergies, indigestion, gas, and bloating -- just to name a few.
Dr. Cohoon uses specific supplements, herbal remedies, and dietary modificaiton to restore your body's functioning to an optimal level.
3. Mental / Emotional
Research has shown that our emotions are a complex reaction between the body and mind. The brain produces chemicals that affect the entire body. Do you remember a time when you were in a very stressful situation and your stomach began to churn? Your stomach was becoming "upset" because of the chemicals that your brain was producing due to your emotional state. What about that time that you worked through lunch and by the end of the day not only were you exhausted, but you were ready to "explode with anger". The process of blood sugar handling stress can be the cause of emotional disturbance. Through A.K., Dr. Cohoon has many examination and therapeutic procedures that are closely involved with the mental side of the triad of health.
