Gentle Chiropractic Technique
Chiropractic as a healing modality is based on the premise that our nervous system controls and coordinates the body systems and imbalance to the nervous system causes pain and discomfort through the misalignment of the spine.
Gentle chiropractic technique is used for the alignment of the spine, pelvis and skull. This normalises nerve flow between the brain, spinal cord and body systems and relieves the symptoms of common complaints such as headaches, neck and back pain.
Chiropractic Kinesiology
Kinesiology is a muscle testing technique enabling the body to be read to gain information similar to the way a person uses a computer to access programs.
Robert uses chiropractic kinesiology to treat:
- Headaches, neck and back pain
- Cranial injury in children and adults
- Jaw problems
- Learning disabilities
- Sleep disorders
- Delayed development in children
Chiropractors using kinesiology can assist with problems that basic medical neurological/orthopedic testing have been unable to diagnose.
Cranial-Sacral Technique
Cranial bone treatment treats the whole nervous system (brain & body) by direct contact and gentle manipulation of a person's head and skull bones, and is effective for:
- Children who have had traumatic birth
- Children and adults with problems following accidents, trauma or blows to the body
Neuro-emotional Technique (NET)
NET assists people in becoming less reactive and more able to choose alternative responses. It can be helpful in treating
- People who want to change persistant personal issues e.g relationship, finances, self esteem.
- Anxiety and depression
- Digestive disturbances
- Post traumatic stress
This chiropractic technique was developed by Dr. Scott Walker in the USA to assist patients who had re-occurring spinal problems that were reactivated by stress, emotional upsets or life challenges.
The technique uses kinesiology to determine which organs are holding negative emotional patterns and to neutralize their negative effects on the patient’s physical and mental health.
The treatment process can be completed in one visit, and the relief of symptoms is immediate.
NET is not a psychological therapy, nor is it designed as a counseling technique to replace other forms of therapy. It is best used as an adjunct or complement these specialties to assist patients to identify how their emotions affect their physical health and body function.
Emotions=thoughts felt physiologically in the body. When we feel an emotion, it is transmitted through nerve signals along pathways to nerve centres that operate automatically in our body. This automatic system is the Autonomic Nervous System, which controls of our organs and their functions.
In stressful situations, the signals sent from our brain can overload these automatic nerve systems to our organs, and cause a negative memory in our organs that get reactivated the next time we encounter a situation that our body perceives as threatening. This creates a negative emotional pattern or complex (N.E.C.) that recycles through our organs, causing chronic health problems and the resulting conditions. Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) uses the nervous system to reset the proper nerve signals to the organ to eliminate the short circuit.
RESEARCH LEADS TO NEW FINDINGS
Recent research from medical experts in the new field of medicine called Neuro-Gastro Enterology, is bringing to light how these negative emotional patterns become fixed in the body and seem to operate independently of our mind. This research indicates that the nerves of our gut and the surrounding organs have an extremely intricate and complex feedback system which mimics the way our brain works, and in a sense is the second brain of our body.
This gut feedback system operates on its own, without the brain’s permission. Many patients may have one or more negative emotional patterns running in their body and yet may never be aware of them.
Negative emotional patterns travel through the nerve pathways or plexuses that control every organ and gland in our body-causing a range of psycho-somatic responses such as “butterflies in the stomach” to “cold and clammy hands on our first date” or the dreaded visit to our least favorite relative.
More serious results are the gastro-intestinal disorders such as Crohn’s disease, Colitis, Irritable Bowel and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
