Neural refers to the nervous system of the body, which includes the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. A nerve only functions correctly when it is able to move freely within its surrounding structures. The nervous system acts as a communication highway throughout the body. When the nervous system becomes dysfunctional:
• it will cause the body to protect or compensate to help that area
• its responsiveness is diminished
• the body's ability to utilize its innate self-corrective abilities is hindered
• the body's constant search for equilibrium becomes more difficult.
Neural Manipulation (NM) identifies local nerve restrictions and fixation (when "fixed," a nerve cannot glide and/or stretch, causing sensitivity and pain) while examining their effects on the rest of the body. NM is a gentle, hands-on therapy, comprised of precise engagement, mobilization and elongation of the soft tissues and nerves to re-establish neural communication throughout the body. As the source of a problem is released, symptoms will start to decrease and the body’s ability to adapt and restore itself will improve.
NM can benefit:
• Lower Back Pain & Sciatica
• Headaches and Migraines
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Joint Pain
• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
• Whiplash Injuries
• Tendinitis and Sprains
Once assessed and treated with NM, our therapists might suggest complementary treatment modalities, including physiotherapy, massage therapy and acupuncture.
