Dr. McCord on "What is QA?"

Dr. Kerry McCord is a graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic and a Diplomate of the
International Board of Applied Kinesiology. As a practicing chiropractic physician since 1973, Dr.
McCord has served on Committees of the ICAK, as Chair and Co-Chair, and written 14 papers for
presentation at its annual meetings.
In 2002, he began collaborating with Walter Schmitt, DC, DIBAK, DACBN, and teaching the body of
work now known as QUINTESSENTIAL APPLICATIONS (QA). Dr. McCord was the catalyst for the production of the QA
Book (co-authored with Dr. Schmitt), Audio (ICAK paper discussing the QA thought process) and Course
(www.quintessentialapplications.com), and is co-owner and clinical director of HEALTHWORKS!, a healthcare
delivery and health education company specializing in motivational wellness. Dr. McCord has lectured
nationally and internationally on stress, stress-induced illness and Applied Kinesiology.


Dr. Walter H. Schmitt is a graduate of Duke University (1970) and the National College of
Chiropractic (1974) and practices in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He was the first doctor to hold
diplomate status in both applied kinesiology and chiropractic neurology.
Dr. Schmitt is the author of two books for professionals, Common Glandular Dysfunctions in the
General Practice (1981) and Compiled Notes on Clinical Nutritional Products (second edition, 1990) and
one book for the public, Stop Your Pain Now! (2000). With Dr. Kerry McCord, he is the coauthor of
QUINTESSENTIAL APPLICATIONS: A(K) Clinical Protocol (2005). He has authored 70 papers for ICAK
meetings and has published over 30 papers in chiropractic trade journals and peer reviewed journals. He
serves on the Editorial Review Board of the journal Alternative Medicine Review.
His unique clinical approach is based on the blending of applied kinesiology, chiropractic neurology,
and nutritional biochemistry in a format that makes physiology come to life for both doctors and their
patients.
