Tedd Koren is a chiropractor[1] who created the Koren Specific Technique (KST)[2] around 2004.[3] Koren said he originated KST after practicing on himself to relieve his own pain.[4] Koren wrote on his website that "KST is an analysis protocol not a chiropractic technique."[2] He resides in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.[3]
Biography
In 1977 Ted graduated from the Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, South Carolina.[5] He practiced as a chiropractor in Philadelphia, PA.[5] He published brochures and his publications had greater than 60 pamphlets.[5]
In 1995 Koren was under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after an anonymous complaint for "false and misleading advertising".[5] Koren rewrote a number of his pamphlets as a result of the proposed FTC consent order, given to him in 1997.[1] No charges were pressed and the investigation was subsequently dropped in 2001.[5]
In 2008 the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) accused Koren of "serious professional misconduct" by offering seminars in the technique to non-chiropractic practitioners.[2]
Koren believes chiropractic is about more than treating back pain.[1] He believes the chiropractic method of adjusting subluxations may have positive results that range from asthma to premenstrual syndrome according to his pamphlets.[1]
