Specialized Muscle Testing
Dr. Tinsley's formal training is in Chiropractic, she have advanced specialties in Applied Kinesiology or “AK” for short. Kinesiology is the study of movement - and “applied kinesiology” uses movement in the form of muscle testing to find where the dysfunction is occurring in the body. Utilizing AK in her practice, she is able to diagnose specifically where the problem is coming from and offer her patients an individualized treatment.
Muscles are connected to every single system in the body - the respiratory system, digestive system, reproductive system, circulatory system, lymphatic system - every single system. Muscles are organs, and organs communicate with one another in the body. Therefore, we can use muscle tests to find which system is in dysfunction that is causing you to feel pain or hinder function. For example, if you are experiencing low back pain, a regular chiropractor will locate the dysfunction in the low back as there is most often a misalignment in the vertebrae of the low back. AK can uncover where the core problem lies, giving you a deeper diagnosis or explanation. Whether the problem lies in your digestive tract or lymphatic blockage - Using A.K. to find missing piece will allow your body to heal quicker and respond faster to treatment, because we will be able to treat the actual problem, not just the symptom.

A Unique Approach to Chiropractic Care
Dr. Tinsley offers a unique approach to Chiropractic Care. Many of her patients mention that she is different than most chiropractors - they notice that she doesn't “crack” the vertebrae. She using a non- forceful adjusting technique called “respiratory adjustments.” This technique is taught in the Chiropractic Applied Kinesiology speciality program.
Not many know this, but the cranial bones and the vertebrae move when you breathe. This movement is a pumping mechanism that moves cerebral spinal fluid around your brain and out and down your spinal column. When the vertebrae or cranial bones are affected by trauma, poor posture, stress - the bones can easily move out of alignment, pinching on the vital nerves that exit your cranial bones and your vertebrae. When these bones get stuck - the pumping mechanism that takes place is compromised and the fluid stagnates and pools - causing your central nervous system to become inflamed, weakened and your body to become out of balance.
Using Applied Kinesiology, she can diagnose where the bones are locked or restricted and move the bones back into place using your breath to assist in this motion. Once the bones are in proper alignment, it will take the pressure off the nerve and allow the body to heal properly and function at its optimum. Respiratory adjustments are highly effective because it utilizes your body's natural mechanism - respiration and movement. Dr. Tinsley adjusts the stuck bones in the direction they are trying to move when you breathe. This allows the brain to understand where the bone should be and acclimate to the adjustment faster.

Functional Medicine
Dr. Tinsley analyzes blood work from an alternative approach, known as functional medicine. Instead of waiting for a disease to manifest, she catches it early on and offers dietary and supplemental support to allow your body to heal.
She offers her patients a individualized meal plan geared forwards their specific needs. While most diets might work for some. How do you really know if it is working for you unless you assess lab work.
