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] Because of lack of evidence of efficacy, KST is considered experimental by insurers who cover other chiropractic techniques.[3][4][5]
Practitioners of KST may use their hands, or they may use an electric device known as an "ArthroStim" for adjustments.[4]
