K-Protocols

The K-Protocols

Our K-Protocols represent a proven and systematic way to approach our treatment of your condition. Developed by Drs Kinney and Webb, the K-Protocols incorporate the best evidence-based conservative treatment methods to bring about a successful treatment plan for your pain.

The term “Kinetic” refers that which is characterized by movement and we named these our “Kinetic Protocols” (“K-Protocols” for short) because the focus of each treatment is to restore normal movement and function and ultimately correct the source of your pain. While each element of the K-Protocols has been researched and extensively used as a treatment approach by itself, we have found that incorporating each of these approaches into a systematic treatment protocol gives us treatment results that far exceed any single approach used alone.

By developing a specific treatment plan for each patient utilizing The K-Protocols, Drs. Kinney and Webb see unparalleled success and pain relief for their patients.

The K-Protocols include these key components:

I. K-Laser treatments. An exciting new therapeutic laser instrument that relieves pain by promoting true deep tissue healing rather than simply covering up the pain as with medications or injections.

II. Chiropractic manual therapy and adjustments. The traditional standard treatment approach of chiropractic care - to improve joint motion and relieve pain caused by nerve impingement or joint dysfunction.

III. Kinetic Postural Release. Our own adaptation Active Release Therapy and kinetic stretch to improve muscle function by removing myofascial restrictions that limit movement and cause pain. This also includes analyzing and correcting postural imbalances that cause recurring muscle and joint dysfunction and pain.

IV. K Tape. This is an innovative new therapeutic approach to healing that provides support and stability while allowing normal movement of the area while the healing takes place.

V. Rehabilitative exercise. If the muscles that support normal movement and function are weak and stiff you are doomed to a lifetime of recurring pain or to recurrent episodes of injury. Our K-Protocol exercises will include effective but concise and proven exercise plans to increase strength, flexibility, and function to the problem area. This will often include the use of our Med-x Core Strength Exercise Program to develop fast and safe gains in your essential “core” muscle strength.

VI. Nutrition and Lifestyle Analysis. We identify and support the keys to normal nerve, joint, and muscle function through education on food choices that reduce inflammation and promote healing and through the use of vitamins or nutraceuticals; therapeutic dosing of nutritional supplements proven to promote healing without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. We will also assess the Body Mass Index, help develop plans for proper weight management and address any lifestyle habits that may contribute to your condition.

K-Protocols vary in the length and frequency of treatment but generally range from 4 to 12 weeks of treatment with a frequency of 1 to 2 treatments weekly. K-Protocols have been developed and proven successful for a variety of conditions.
