Neural Organization Technique
Neural Organization Technique is a hands-on non-invasive technique that corrects faults in the body which cause disorganization within the nervous system.
What conditions can be treated by an experienced practitioner in The Neural Organization Technique? Neural Organization Technique aids in the treatment of a wide range of chronic and unusual conditions, including but not limited to the following:
- Neurological disorders
- Learning disabilities
- Autism
- Cerebral Palsy
- Chronic Pain
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Allergies
- Disc Conditions
- Down Syndrome
- Head Injuries
- Headaches (specified and unspecified, including migrained)
- Injuries from motor vehicle accidents and other traumas
- Joint and Muscle Pains and Disorders
- Low Back Pain
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD)
- Post Polio Syndrome
- Scoliosis
- Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ or TMJD)
- Whiplash
What is The Neural Organization Technique? The Neural Organization Technique is based on the idea that the human body is made up of various circuits extending between the brain and the various systems of the body. These different circuits control the body’s major functions, such as circulation, digestion, hormone secretion, excretion and learning.
Neural Organization Technique is a powerful tool that uses a different approach when treating a patient. To give a simple explanation of how the technique works, lets compare the human body to a house with its electrical system. The electrical system is set up so that electricity goes to different areas of the house to run the appliances, to run the heating, cooling and plumbing systems and to allow the lights to work.
There is a main panel board or circuit box that controls these functions. Some times outside stressors (like inclement weather) can cause a short circuit in one of the systems, but by touching the correct switches that are connected to the main panel, the circuit can be reconnected enabling a return to normal function.
Signals from the body, as well as from outside factors, come through receptors on the body into these circuits, where the information is then transmitted to the brain. In the brain these messages are organized and the redirected back to the body to effect change in a particular system.
Many health problems develop as a result of improper signaling from the body (like emotional and genetic stresses), or from outside sources, (like environmental, chemical or physical stresses). This improper signaling causes a break in the normal flow of information to the brain, creating disorganization in the system. The brain may then redirect inappropriate signals back to the body’s systems, which may in turn cause inappropriate physiological reactions.
When there are inappropriate physiological reactions, outside intervention is needed to accelerate the natural healing process. Neural Organization is a manual technique that corrects structural and physiological abnormalities by reorganizing the way information is transmitted in the body. Based on the principal of acupuncture, applied kinesiology, and chiropractic, it is a non-invasive technique in which the physician uses light to moderate digital pressure on various points of the patient’s body. Gentle spinal and cranial bone manipulation are used as well.
The method of assessment used in Neural Organization Technique is based primarily in applied kinesiological concepts in which an indicator muscle is used for determining which circuits or channels have been disrupted. This method accesses the body’s own knowledge of itself. If there is a functional or structural deficit anywhere in the body there will be a change in the electromagnetic energy in that part or function. When such an area is touched by the physician or patient this change in energy is registered in the indicator muscle.
The Neural Organization Technique Theory holds that the human body is set up in such a way that by just touching precise points on the body, the disrupted informational circuits can reconnect to restore the once normal function.
