About Dr. Fogelman
Dr. Fogelman - Chiropractic Kinesiologist
Dr. Adam D. Fogelman was born and raised in New York. At an early age, his passions were reading, writing, drawing and creating. When he was eighteen, he took that creativity and moved three thousand miles to Arizona, where he attended Arizona State University. Through his trials and tribulations as a student, Dr. Fogelman realized that his life’s work was to help as many people as he could even if one person at a time. He was adamant about making his contribution to the Human race while he was here.
Dr. Fogelman spent the next five years as a rotating volunteer in a hospital emergency room. He was hand-picked by one of his genetic research professors to aid in cancer research and later graduated with four degrees and a minor, all with an emphasis in pre-medical studies.
As his undergraduate studies came to a climactic end, Dr. Fogelman developed an interest for the healing arts and natural medicine. He began to realize that there was more to helping someone live a healthy lifestyle than just treating them with western medicine or surgery. Although both are important therapies and belong in the health care field, they should not be the first line of defense when helping someone to become healthier.
This ultimately led Dr. Fogelman to leaving the impending medical path he began on, searching for an approach that would give him freedom to express the compassion others lacked and allow him to treat the body and the patient as a whole. He felt that could be done by identifying the root cause, not just the symptoms present.
Through his research and studies, Dr. Fogelman adopted a paradigm called the “Triad of Health.” This “triad” is denoted by an equilateral triangle listing the three basic causes of health problems. They are structural, chemical and mental; the structure being the foundation, the base of the triad. All health problems, whether on a functional or pathological level, are involved with one or all parts of this triad. A doctor, who is aware of this functional balance between all three sides, can evaluate and treat every patient from each angle and increase their ability to find the basic underlying cause of a patient’s health problem.
Dr. Fogelman realized that conventional medicine would not provide him the effective tools he needed to treat the structural side of this paradigm, so he chose to attend Chiropractic school in Los Angeles. He graduated Cum Laude, and furthered his education in adjunctive therapies and techniques that would enhance and compliment his Chiropractic treatment.
While starting his private practice, Dr. Fogelman also volunteered at the Los Angeles mission where he treated inner city kids and residents of a halfway house. He also taught Kinesiology and Physiology at a holistic school in San Diego where he infused some of his unique treatment techniques into his lectures, furthering the studies of those who were striving to become health practitioners themselves.
Dr. Adam Fogelman has completed extensive post-graduate training and has studied a variety of disciplines in holistic health care. He is certified in Applied Kinesiology and chose it as his specialty because it was the most effective in treating the whole person and the whole body.
He also specializes in the following techniques along with traditional Chiropractic and Applied Kinesiology (AK):
- Total Body Modification (TBM)
- Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)
- Cranial Sacral Therapy
- Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET)
- Biomeridian Computer Assessment (MSAS)
- Nutritional Biochemistry
- Endocrinology
- Acupuncture Meridian Therapy thru Acupressure & Vibrational medicine
- Lymphatic Drainage
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Reflexology
- Active Release Technique (ART)
- TMJ and Whiplash Techniques
In 2002, Dr. Fogelman had the honor and privilege to join an elite group of doctors who shared his vision on getting to the root cause of a patient’s problems. He started a second practice inside a world-renowned, multi-disciplinary clinic known as the Center for Advanced Medicine. For the past seven and a half years, Dr. Fogelman has continued his studies in the above, aforementioned areas, as well as learning new treatments: detoxification of pathologies, toxins, allergens and micro-organisms at a cellular level, and the restoration of a person’s health through nutritional biochemistry, etc.
The focus of Dr. Fogelman’s current work consistently challenges the ordinary. He co-hosts a Health Talk radio show on Saturday mornings and continues to volunteer his time and services whenever possible. His passion and dedication is focusing on the Triad of Health, and delivering to his patients the perfect blend of compassion, education and assistance in balancing the body, mind and spirit, bringing you back to a state of optimum health.
Health is a reflection of how we choose to live!
What is Applied Kinesiology?
Part of what we practice is called Applied Kinesiology (AK). What is AK? Rather than reinvent the wheel with a new article, we’ll go straight to the source: International College of Applied Kinesiology-U.S.A. (ICAK-U.S.A.)
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing combined with other standard methods of diagnosis. AK, a non-invasive system of evaluating body function that is unique in the healing arts, has become a dynamic movement in health care in its relatively short existence.
The combined terms “applied” and “kinesiology” describe the basis of this system, which is the use of manual muscle testing to evaluate body function through the dynamics of the musculoskeletal system.
Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counselling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.
Triad of Health
The triad of health lists the three basic causes of health problems. They are structural, chemical, and mental, with structure as the base of the triad. Literally, all health problems, whether functional or pathological, are involved with one part or all parts of the triad. This is not new to chiropractic, as its founder, D.D. Palmer states in his text, “The Science, Art, and Philosophy of Chiropractic,” “The determining causes of disease are traumatism, poison and autosuggestion.” AK enables the doctor to evaluate the triad’s functional balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides. The physician who is aware of the triad of health, and evaluates every patient for all three sides, increases his ability to find the basic underlying cause of a patient’s health problem.
AK skills are developed and approved by the International College of Applied Kinesiology Board of Standards. These skills are refined from many disciplines including Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Medicine, Dentistry, Acupuncture, Biochemistry, Psychology, Homeopathy, and Naturopathy etc. Members of these professions share knowledge through the publications and conferences of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).
