Aetna describes the technique as follows: "The KST allegedly opens up a new horizon on the analysis and correction of health problems by accessing the binary information of the holographic body, which supposedly enables a trained practitioner to access information about a patient's physiology that otherwise would not be available." |

A practitioner offering the technique describes it as follows: "The first step, “challenge,” involves gently moving a body part in various directions. Your structural system is scanned for subluxations. The second step, “check,” reveals where you are subluxated. If your body part is out of its correct position and the challenge moves it (ever so slightly) further out of position, the base of your skull (your occipital bone) will slightly drop on the left. This is called the occipital drop (OD) and is a binary neurological biofeedback device. If the body part being challenged is in its proper position then there will be no occipital drop. The third step, “correct,” moves the body into its correct position. If there is an OD then the area is gently corrected, usually using an adjustment instrument."<ref name="sunr_KST:">{{Cite web| title = KST: Koren Specific Technique| work = Sunrise Health Institute| accessdate = 2015-06-30| url = http://www.sunrisehi.com/kst-koren-specific-technique/}}</ref> |

Koren Specific Technique (KST) is a technique first proposed by Tedd Koren in 2005.[1] While the technique is associated with chiropratic techniques, Koren has variously described it as an "analysis procotol," "healthcare protocol," and "healing protocol."[2] Practitioners of KST may use their hands, or they may use an electric device known as an "ArthroStim" for adjustments.[3] Because of lack of evidence of efficacy, KST is considered experimental by insurers who cover other chiropractic techniques.[4][3][5]
Aetna describes the technique as follows: "The KST allegedly opens up a new horizon on the analysis and correction of health problems by accessing the binary information of the holographic body, which supposedly enables a trained practitioner to access information about a patient's physiology that otherwise would not be available."[3]
A practitioner offering the technique describes it as follows: "The first step, “challenge,” involves gently moving a body part in various directions. Your structural system is scanned for subluxations. The second step, “check,” reveals where you are subluxated. If your body part is out of its correct position and the challenge moves it (ever so slightly) further out of position, the base of your skull (your occipital bone) will slightly drop on the left. This is called the occipital drop (OD) and is a binary neurological biofeedback device. If the body part being challenged is in its proper position then there will be no occipital drop. The third step, “correct,” moves the body into its correct position. If there is an OD then the area is gently corrected, usually using an adjustment instrument."[6]
