Tedd Koren

Tedd Koren is a chiropractor[1] who created the Koren Specific Technique (KST)[2] around 2004.[3] Koren said he originated KST after practicing on himself to relieve his own pain.[4] He lives in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.[3]

In 2008 the World Federation of Chiropractic accused Koren of "serious professional misconduct" by offering seminars in the technique to non-chiropractic practitioners.[2] During the 1990s, Koren was under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after an anonymous complaint for "false and misleading advertising".[5] Koren rewrote a number of his pamphlets as a result of the proposed FTC consent order, given to him in 1997.[1] No charges were pressed and the investigation was subsequently dropped in 2001.[5]

Koren believes chiropractic is about more than treating back pain.[1] He believes the chiropractic method of adjusting subluxations may have positive results that range from asthma to premenstrual syndrome according to his pamphlets.[1]
