 Are you tired of having your
body hurt? Many of us have chronic body pain. We spend our time on the therapy
merry-go-round, going from doctor to doctor, from massage therapist to acupuncturist,
without lasting change. Billions of dollars annually are spent on medications to alleviate
(not cure) pain.Take heart! Help is on the way---in
the form of a new style of therapy that really works. NeuroCranial Restructuring,
developed after fifteen years research by Dean Howell, N.D. in 1995, is the first physical
medicine technique to treat the cause of physical pains rather than the symptoms.
Dr. Howell says, "I was frustrated with the treatments I was
providing in my naturopathic family practice. People came back week after week to receive
the same temporarily effective treatment. Why did their spines need to go 'out-of-place'
week after week? Why did their headaches continue to reoccur? I finally realized that I
was treating only the symptoms of their problems. The spine, I now understand, is working
perfectly when it continues to go into the same painful pattern week after week. The
spine's main job is to support the head, and the brain needs the skull to be as stable as
possible. The body's solution to insure cranial stability is to move the bones and muscles
into an alignment that stabilizes the head."
| "The old concept of the bones
being 'out' was wrong. The brain continually finds a pattern for the musculoskeletal
system that provides structural stability for the brain and body, and the body continues
to return to that same stable pattern again and again even if it is painful. With
traditional therapy techniques I was reducing pain and de-stabilizing my patients' bodies,
ensuring that they would need to return shortly for another symptom-relieving treatment. I
hated this. NeuroCranial Restructuring is the answer to this problem. The emphasis with
NCR is on correcting the cranial balancing patterns. This simplifies the skull and
musculoskeletal patterns too. The body no longer needs to return to the same stable
painful pattern. With NCR I provide a corrective treatment whose results accumulate with
continued treatment. NeuroCranial Restructuring optimizes
brain and body functions. The NCR doctors report that they consistently have results with
conditions as diverse as headaches, back pain, scoliosis, depression, learning
disabilities, sleep apnea and sinusitis. The link between these conditions is that they
are all caused by mechanical problems in the body.
Headaches, for instance, are triggered when structural problems
in the head and neck cause the top bone in the neck (the atlas, C-1) to move 'out'. The
cure is not to push the atlas back 'in' but to change the cranial balancing pattern so
that the bone no longer needs to move into that painful position. |
Other cranial movement techniques have
less success than NCR because they work only on the external bones of the head, and this
does not improve the stability of the sphenoid bone, an internal bone of the head. NCR
doctors carefully determine the position of the sphenoid, calculate a treatment pattern
and then enter the inside of the nose with small, inflatable balloons. The balloons are
inflated and re-positioned for two to five seconds one to four times per treatment
session, always determined by the results of physical examination that day. The pressure
used creates an intense sensation for the patient. The treatments work best in sequences
of four days, rather than the weekly or monthly pattern used in other physical medicine
techniques. Besides the relief of physical pain symptoms,
NCR patients report changes in their moods and feelings. Tensions decreases. Creativity is
enhanced. Marital relationships improve. Learning becomes easier. The symptomatic
treatment of psychiatric conditions can often be gradually discontinued. The optimization
of nervous system function creates these changes and more.
Why continue palliative
(symptomatic) therapy?
