The Koren Specific Technique (KST) is a revolutionary chiropractic technique. It is named after Dr. Tedd Koren, who discovered it in 2003. The technique uses a specific tool called an ArthroStim. The chiropractor uses this tool to deliver precise and specific adjustments to the patient. In theory, this procedure asks the body where the problem is, and it specifically targets that area for treatment.
