Dr. Jen is one of few chiropractors in the area that uses muscle testing (kinesiology) to determine areas of joint dysfunction. Dr. George Goodheart of Detroit, Michigan, found that evaluation of normal and abnormal body function could be accomplished by using muscle tests.  Muscle tests are applied to different areas of the body in a manner that evaluates a specific muscle.  You will note from your examination that some muscles test strong and others appear extremely weak, perhaps the same muscle functions well on one side and poorly on the other side of the body.  This helps Dr. Jen find the areas that need to be adjusted and if correction is successful, there will be a remarkable improvement in the muscle test.

Dr. Jen is knowledgeable in Webster’s Technique. The Webster Technique is defined as a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and facilitates biomechanical balance in pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments. This has been shown to reduce the effects of intrauterine constraint, allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a high reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position.
