1. What is Neurological Integration System Developed by the Neurological Integration System (NIS) bases its treatment methods on the neurophysiology principle that the brain governs optimum function of all body’s systems. This in essence makes the brain, not the practitioner the most knowledgeable and qualified to diagnose and correct your complaint. NIS is a modality of care that allows practitioners to investigate the status of body function from the neurological point of view. This is a very unique approach. Healthcare with NIS has everything to do with the brain and nothing to do with the mind. It is important to make that differentiation. All of the principles behind the system of treatment provided by NIS Practitioner are based on neuroscience. The brain brain controls optimum function, through its neurological circuitry. It is constantly receiving information from every facet of the body, and in turn sends back ‘fine tuning’ messages, many times per second. THis means every cell, gland, organ, muscle, tendon etc in the body is constantly monitored via these circuits to the brain. However, from time to time circuits break down-very similar to a fuse blowing in your care or home. Power is now lost to that circuit, reducing function.
2. How are complaints addressed? NIS Practitioner uses a prioritized set of treatment protocols to evaluate the neurological circuitry and the facets of the body function they represent. Once identified the Practitioner uses a method called Neurological Integration. The Practitioner is a facilitator in the feeding of data to and from the brain. To find out which areas of the body function the brain is not fully controlling, a muscle test* is used. A muscle test is a scientifically proven method of determining whether the brain is communication with body function. *Muscle testing has been scientifically validated as an indicator of altered physiological function. D.A. Monti et al, 1999
3. The Science behind NIS The Post Central Gyrus. This area of the brain is known as the message ‘receive and dispatch’ center of the brain. When this area of the cranium is touched, merkels tactile disks associated with slow adapting receptors are stimulated. These mediate sensations which project centrally via the dorsal column medial lemniscus pathway (DCML). This is a neuropathway directly associated with the post central gyrus. If you were to close your eyes and have someone touch a single hair on your body, you would be able to tell them exactly where they touched. That is the job of the post central gyrus. Once an area is identified the brain immediately begins instructing the body to make the changes required to restore function.
4. Is NIS suitable for the whole family? At each visit, the goal is to determine and address what aspects of your body function the brain is not fully controlling. The approach is very non-invasive, stress and pain-free. This makes an NIS treatment suitable for the newborn baby through to the very aged, and those who are very sick or injured. NIS is one of he safest methods of healthcare available.
5. What to expect at your session? We will be evaluating and addressing areas of physiological and neurophysiological function tha you Amy not even know could possible be related to your compliant. Some of these issues may have been present for a long time. It is important to understand that, even though physiological change will begin to take place from the moment you complete your first treatment, we do not always expect you to notice this improvement pattern prior to your follow-up visit. It is important to know that from your first visit, NIS is addressing causal issues so that a long-term sustainable result can be achieved. The changes that need to take place will often require time and patience. As you progress to ‘maintenance’ visits with us, you are more likely to experience results in a shorter time frame.
6. Do I need maintenance? Once you completed your initial treatment ongoing preventative care is important. Just like a car our bodies need to have a regular ‘tune-up’. As we go through our daily life there are always things that can potentially lead to one or more of our body systems being pushed to its maximum tolerance. With so many potential triggers in our ongoing stressful world, NIS seeks to address the issues hiding behind the symptoms that keep your system running ‘below par’. Keeping your immunize response at its optimum will exempt you from becoming a candidate for more serious complaints.
7. How often should I have maintenance? The life of a red blood cell is 120 days, and it is to this cycle that we suggest having that ‘tune-up’. Red blood cells perform the most important duty of traveling through your body delivering oxygen and removing wast. Your bones are continually producing new red blood cells. Aged red blood cells are removed by the liver, spleen and bone marrow. Your body is hard at work all the time. Our experience has shown that the body struggles to keep itself optimum longer than that 100-120 day cycle. While some may prefer to have tune ups more frequently it has not been shown to be beneficial beyond 120 days.
