Wilk v. American Medical Association was a federal antitrust suit brought against the American Medical Association and 10 co-defendants by chiropractor Chester A. Wilk, DC, and four co-plaintiffs.

Applied kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnostic kinesiology. It is a method used to give feedback on the physical properties of the body. Proponents say that when properly applied, the outcome of an AK test, such as a muscle strength test, will determine the best form of therapy for patients. This claim has been refuted by scientists. Applied Kinesiology is distinct from academic kinesiology, which is the study of human movement and its application. Academic kinesiology is widely considered a legitimate science.

Misalignments of the vertebrae caused by poor posture or trauma result in pressure on the spinal nerve roots, which may lead to diminished function and illness. The chiropractor seeks to analyze and correct these misalignments through spinal manipulation or adjustments.
