Nutrition response testing (NRT) is a technique that alternative and holistic health practitioners like chiropractors often use to determine underlying causes of health concerns and return the body to optimal function.
This technique uses the body’s own neurological reflexes to determine underlying causes of health concerns, such as deficiencies or toxicities and also helps to identify the proper course of care to correct the problem (for example dietary changes, supplements, or other holistic approaches). It draws on several different theories of health, including kinesiology (biomechanics) and traditional Chinese medicine.
