In addition to the diagnosis and treatment of common musculoskeletal issues like back and neck pain, Dr. Collins also has expertise in the following areas:
Applied Kinesiology
AK is a system used to evaluate structural, chemical, and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing alongside other standard methods of diagnosis. Muscles lacking sufficient neurological stimulation are identified and an attempt is then made to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. Dr. Collins has completed extensive training in advanced AK techniques.
Athletic Injury Evaluation
Dr. Collins has pursued both conventional study as well as AK focused approaches to problems afflicting the athlete. The ability to specifically evaluate how an athlete’s muscles function around an injured area makes AK an incredibly powerful tool in both prevention and management of athletic injuries.
Nutritional Evaluation
No single diet is right for all people. Dr. Collins has extensive expertise tailoring complex dietary, supplemental, and herbal regimens to meet the needs of unique individuals to help them avoid the pitfalls and common failures of cookie-cutter approaches to dietary management.
Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis
Stories about profoundly sick people coming back with “normal” blood tests are common. Dr. Collins’s training enables him to evaluate blood chemistry to uncover commonly overlooked or misdiagnosed conditions.
Endocrinology
Dr. Collins’s study of the management of our hormonal systems has aided in his ability to assess all aspects of health for both men and women.
Functional Neurological Assessment
As the effects of Chiropractic are primarily mediated by the nervous system, Dr. Collins has pursued additional study in this area through the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies, the premier organization for the study of Chiropractic Neurology.
