Q: What is KKT spinal care?
A: The most sophisticated non-invasive medical technology for spinal restoration, and conditioning.

Q: What is the purpose of KKT spinal care?
A: The sole purpose of the spinal correction is to restore the body's structural and neurological balance, affected by disturbances from the spine and its associated contents. This restoration reactivates the transmission of healing messages from the brain to the affected part of the body and vice versa, so that the body's rhythms and natural healing processes can begin.

Q: Why should I learn about spinal care?
A: Today, more than ever before, Dr. Khan and his team are discovering clear associations between the spine and its effect on our life and health.

Irreversible damage can occur within a relatively brief period of time when the spine is compromised, even prior to symptoms appearing. Published research studies recommend proper spinal care and attention.

Q: How long does the actual KKT treatment take?
A: Once a patient has been through the initial consult/examination/x-rays and report of findings, follow-up visits take only as long as a routine visit to your doctor (10-15 minutes).

Q: How long before I start to feel the benefits of the treatments?
A: Some changes are noted immediately after treatment while other are noted in the subsequent six weeks. Other notable structural changes are observed in the following six to eight months. Patients who follow the recommended schedule of care will naturally experience the best outcome.

Q: What does the KKT treatment feel like?
A: The patient will feel a slight pulse on the upper neck accompanied by a slight reverberating sound.
Top

Q: What can I do to protect or stabilize my treatment?
A: The patient is advised to exercise good posture habits and maintain healthy balanced positions. It is important to refrain from moving too quickly or sharply, lifting heavy objects or stretching and reaching abnormally. One should refrain from stressful situations especially in the first six weeks of care. Depending on the individual, specific recommendations will be given by the doctor.

Q: Is it appropriate to consider alternative treatment methods after having KKT treatments?
A: Often, treatments in physiotherapy, massage, acupuncture and other various medicinal approaches to health will become more effective once the neuro-musculo skeletal restoration begins to take effect.

Q: Why is structural and neurological balance so crucial?
A: When the weight of the head is shifted off center, the body becomes imbalanced to compensate for the change. For numerous reasons, in an effort to keep the head centered over the neck, the spine and pelvis will twist, causing a shoulder and pelvic distortion as well as a functional leg length shortening. Spinal disturbances can restrict or distort the transmission of messages to/from the brain so as to keep the body functioning properly. The long term effect of being untreated is a degeneration of that body part serviced by these restricted messages, lowered resistance to illness, organ dysfunction, loss of mobility in limbs and degenerative arthritis of joints and soft tissue.

Q: What are the effects of restoring structural and neurological balance?
A: Each one of our 100 billion active brain neurons stores information that is transmitted to other cells and to all parts of the body by way of electrical and chemical impulses that travel along our nervous system. These messages control all body functions.

Disturbances in the transmission of these brain messages to the body are the direct or indirect cause many health problems. The treatment here is not a therapy, but a restorative procedure.

Q: Why are radiographs before and after the correction necessary?
A: No spinal correction can be made until careful and precise radiographs are taken and analyzed. The radiographs taken prior to the correction allow the doctor to determine the direction in which the vertebrae have shifted, tilted or rotated from the normal position. The calculation formula in order to determine how restoration should occur is done from the Spinalytics® software (proprietary system utilizing a digitization process which determines the customized treatment protocol). After the corrections, radiographs are necessary to determine the progress to date and what further modification may need to be done to allow future corrections.

Q: How do I know if treatment is required?
A: The KKT Doctor will do five specific tests to determine if your body requires treatment. These tests can be carried out in a short period of time at the clinic. Even prior to symptoms, every person should have the opportunity of being tested comprehensively to ensure no unnecessary damage is incurred before treatment.
