Kang Corrective Chiropractic has an established and growing reputation within the surrounding medical community as a reliable and beneficial co-management partner.
Our goal is to support your diagnosis and treatment while complimenting it with our own approach when appropriate. Co-management with Kang Corrective Chiropractic will benefit patients.
Objective measures of posture, spinal structure and biomechanics are taken before and after treatment interventions to provide evidence based comparison reports.
Each treatment plan is prescribed with specific detail and is unique to the individual patient’s structural weakness or injury.
Diagnostic reports are provided following the initial evaluation and comparison reports are provided post interventions. Summary and progress reports may be requested at anytime.
Non-Surgical Case
Non-Surgical Providers should consider Kang Corrective Chiropractic Co-management when:
a patient is not responding to care as expected
when structural health is not a focus of the providers care
Co-management with Kang Corrective Chiropractic will benefit patients suffering with:
musculoskeletal pain syndromes
neuromuscular complications
motor vehicle collision injuries
unexplained visceral conditions
Surgical Case
Surgical Providers should consider Kang Corrective Chiropractic Co-management when:
a patient is deemed to not be a surgical candidate
pre-surgical sagittal or coronal presentation predicts poor surgical outcomes
Co-management with Kang Corrective Chiropractic for Pre-operative care:
Pre-operative “Pre-habilitation” to reduce fibrosis, increase flexibility, and improve sagittal curvature and coronal balance
Post-operative Rehabilitation to minimize fibrosis, speed healing times, correct remaining postural distortions, and improve sagittal curvatures and coronal balance.
Cervical curvature measured by our computerized spinal mensuration software. Green line is normal alignment, red line is patient’s abnormal deviation.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging study shows restoring cervical lordosis increases the diameter of spinal canal.
Research
Chiropractic BioPhysics Non-Profit is our research arm, which has published more than 150 peer reviewed publications to date, constituting the largest volume of research put forth by any one chiropractic group. Dr. Deed Harrison, the techniques lead instructor and researcher, is the most published chiropractor in history and currently serves as a manuscript reviewer for several of the top orthopedic journals in the world including; Spine, Clinical BioMechanics, Clinical Anatomy and The European Spine Journal.
There are multiple Controlled Trials documenting our ability to improve sagittal and coronal plane profiles:
