Koren Specific Technique (KST) is a technique developed by Tedd Koren.[1] While the technique is associated with chiropratic techniques, Koren has variously described it as an "analysis procotol" and "healthcare 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]
