Welcome to Triad of Health

Success with patient care is accomplished by holistically understanding how the body functions and understanding the TRIAD OF HEALTH: chemical, structural and emotional. The triad of health was initially described by D.D. Palmer (the founder of chiropractic) and then later described in great detail by Dr. George Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology. Dr. Goodheart is 85 years old today and still practices in Detroit, Michigan at the time that this web site is being written. Dr. Goodheart developed the most amazing scientific system of healthcare in the world today: Applied Kinesiology. Applied Kinesiology is now used by numerous healthcare professions in nearly every industrialized nation. Applied Kinesiology takes into account not just the patient’s musculoskeletal system (structure), but also their diet (biochemistry) and emotional state. Other important health risks which are considered by Applied Kinesiologists are environmental toxins and pollutants.

Each side of the triad of health affects the other two sides. Therefore, to take a magnifying glass and focus on one side only will never get resolution to a chronic health concern. This is why many people never seem to lose weight and keep the weight off when they go on a diet. This is also why many people never seem to get better after having seen a psychiatrist for many years. This is also why so many people often suffer years later after fracturing a bone or having a surgery. The reason why these things happen is because each of these professions only look at one side of the triad of health: orthopedic surgery – structure, psychiatry – emotions, and nutritionists/dietitions – nutrition. These professions never even stop to consider their colleagues in neighboring professions. Only in recent years has psychoneuroimmunology and similar fields come about which explore the roles, goals and results of not just their own profession but neighboring professions. Applied Kinesiology and chiropractic is light years ahead of its time in this respect. Applied Kinesiology utilizes the concept of consiliance – the coming together of knowledge as described by Edward O. Wilson.
