Chiropractic adjustments can offer tremendous relief by realigning the spine, restoring mobility, and easing pain. However, for some patients, that relief doesn’t always last as long as they hope. The same areas can become tight or painful again, and the body seems to “revert” back to old patterns. This is often because the root cause of imbalance lies not only in the joints, but also in the muscles that support them. That’s where the Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (A.M.I.T.®) comes in - a breakthrough system designed to identify and correct these deeper sources of dysfunction.

Why Chiropractic Adjustments Alone May Not Hold

While chiropractic care effectively restores joint alignment and motion, it doesn’t always address the underlying muscular imbalances that caused those misalignments in the first place. When muscles are weak, inhibited, or neurologically “shut off”, they can’t stabilize the joint they’re meant to support. Over time, compensations develop - other muscles overwork, joints become unstable, and pain or dysfunction returns.

This is why adjustments can sometimes feel temporary. Without restoring proper muscle function, the body will naturally pull back toward its previous, imbalanced state.

What Is A.M.I.T.®?

Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (A.M.I.T.®) is a specialized system that evaluates and restores neuromuscular function. Developed by Dr. Alan G. Beardall, this technique is the result of decades of research into the connection between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system.

A.M.I.T.® incorporates a multifaceted blend of seventeen healing disciplines to address dysfunction at every level of the body. It focuses on identifying inhibited muscles - those that have lost communication with the brain - and reactivating them through precise manual stimulation. Once reconnected, the muscles regain their ability to stabilize joints, support posture, and move efficiently without pain. By restoring the body’s internal communication pathways, A.M.I.T.® allows the entire system to function as it was designed - balanced, coordinated, and strong.

How A.M.I.T.® Works

During an A.M.I.T.® session, Dr. Luke performs a comprehensive series of muscle tests to evaluate which muscles are functioning correctly and which are inhibited. Once weak muscles are identified, gentle stimulation techniques such as specific pressure points, joint mobilization, and proprioceptive input are applied to restore normal neurological communication.

This process allows the nervous system to reintegrate the inhibited muscle, effectively restoring its strength and coordination. The result is a more stable, balanced musculoskeletal system that supports lasting structural alignment and reduces the recurrence of pain.

Key Principles and Goals of A.M.I.T.®

The foundation of A.M.I.T.® is based on several key principles:

• Neuromuscular Activation: Reconnecting inhibited muscles with the nervous system.

• Biomechanical Balance: Ensuring muscles around each joint work together in harmony.

• Injury Recovery and Prevention: Correcting imbalances before they lead to re-injury.

• Performance Optimization: Helping athletes and active individuals function at their peak.

• Long-Term Stability: Supporting adjustments and enhancing their longevity.

The ultimate goal of A.M.I.T.® is to restore complete function, not just relieve symptoms. By correcting dysfunction at its source, the body becomes more resilient, balanced, and pain-free.

Who Can Benefit from A.M.I.T.®?

A.M.I.T.® can benefit a wide range of individuals, including:

• Athletes seeking faster recovery and better performance

• Patients with chronic pain whose adjustments don’t seem to “hold”

• Post-surgical patients working to regain strength and mobility

• Office workers dealing with repetitive strain or poor posture

• Active individuals wanting to move and feel their best
  
  

No matter your age or activity level, A.M.I.T.® can help your body move the way it was meant to - balanced, strong, and pain-free.
