What is Neural Organization Work

Neural Organization Work (N.O.W.), also know as Neural Organization Technique (N.O.T.)  is a holistic physical and energy medicine modality, based in Applied Kinesiology which deals with our primal survival systems of fight/flight, feeding, reproduction and immune. Our health depends on how well these systems are maintained in their ability to receive, process and respond to sensory information as well as adapt to a constantly changing environment of both internal and external stressors.  Neural Organization Technique is both a diagnostic and treatment methodology designed to address many of our present-day health issues.

Treatment utilizes a sensory receptor-based therapy involving primarily skin surface reflexes designed to normalize nervous system function.

Neural Organization Work holds as its premise that everything that happens to us on a physical, chemical, or emotional level must be processed through one or more of the basic survival systems.  Our reaction to these stimuli will not be random but one of a chain reaction of neuro-biochemical events designed to compensate and maximize our survivability.  Our nervous system will  accomplish and navigate this compensatory state by constantly monitoring both the internal and external environment.  Much of the sensory input is processed subconscious utilizing a vast array of information gathering sensors in our skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments called mechano-receptors or commonly referenced as proprioceptors.

Receptor based therapies such as applied kinesiology, offer the practitioner ability to re-modulate/recalibrate aberrant sensory input receptors before they travel to the Central Nervous System resulting in an adaptive compensatory state.

Scoliosis is a classic example of the application of  Neural Organization Technique. Traditionally adolescent scoliosis (the most common form of scoliosis) is recognized in N.O.T. as an adaptive reactive muscle imbalance.  The condition of scoliosis is interpreted not as an disease or a random event but as a natural compensation for an aberrant (walking) gait resulting from aberrant sensory regulatory mechanisms. A successful treatment outcome is now possible with this understanding.  Click on this link for further explanation.

My goal is to optimize these survival systems by identifying compensatory states and remove the ones that are no longer needed. This approach is beneficial in addressing a wide variety of health issues ranging from scoliosis /poorly responding musculo-skeletal conditions, neurological disorders to systemic conditions including toxicities and persistent microbial infections and emotional overlays. 

Neural Organization Work and Applied Kinesiology methods are unique in their ability to restore normal/optimal function within these regulatory mechanism.

My theme is to address the concerns of my patients in a swift and cost efficient manner. This may and often requires a team approach in coordination with your present health care provider.   I am willing to communicate and work with other providers in an effort to maximize your swift return to health.  This is what patient centered care is all about ...you!

“The body heals itself in a sure, sensible, practical, reasonable, and observable manner. ‘The healer within’ can be approached from without. The opportunity to use the body as an instrument of laboratory analysis is unparalleled in modern therapy; if one approaches the problem correctly, making the proper and adequate diagnosis and treatment, the response is satisfactory to both the doctor and the patient.”
