NeuroCranial Restructuring - NCR
>> Saturday, August 22, 2009
NeuroCranial Restructuring™ is the newest and most powerful therapy in physical medicine. NCR is a cumulative treatment process involving controlled release of the connective tissue tensions -- resulting from traumas -- to unwind the body and return it towards its original design. NCR utilizes careful analysis of the body’s "proprioception" (patterns of balance) to determine the precise areas of the skull needing to be unlocked during each day’s treatment. An NCR series consists of four treatments given on consecutive days. Each case is evaluated individually for the optimal long-term outcome. Repeat treatment series are usually scheduled between one and six months apart.
This sounds very complex, but in practice it is relatively simple:
First, the patient receives customized NCR bodywork. This includes the limbs, abdomen, back and head. Next, the patient is specifically assessed to determine the cranial treatment pattern for the day. Then the patient is precisely positioned on the therapy table with the help of an assistant, including the support of pelvic wedges and sometimes a cranial pillow, for optimal treatment results and greater patient comfort. Then a small "endonasal" balloon is inserted into the nostril, briefly inflated, and quickly removed. Many patients describe the balloon pressure sensation as similar to getting water up their nose when jumping into a pool. Finally a recheck verifies that the treatment results have been achieved for that day.
"Endonasal" balloons in treatment are not new. They have been a valuable tool in practice since the early 1930s. Frequently these treatments, such as Bilateral Nasal Specific therapy, gave relief of symptoms and some long-term results. However these older treatment approaches were generalized and frequently painful.
In conclusion, NCR is different from these therapies. NCR creates incremental, cumulative, permanent structural changes to reverse the effects of the traumatic events of a body’s life. Birth trauma, accidents and falls, sports injuries, medical procedures, severe emotional and biochemical traumas are just some of the causes of musculoskeletal damage that are released with NCR.
I took Emily to have NCR done a couple of years ago to see if it would help with her seizures and also to correct her left eye that was not properly aligned. The process for this was four sessions in a row. Each session consisted of 45 - 1 hour of energy work by two different people and then the quick NCR adjustment at the end. Emily seemed to respond very well to this therapy, but it did not change her seizures like I had hoped it would. It did, however, correct her eye that was not following or properly aligned with her other eye. This was done two years ago and Emily's eye remains corrected to date.
I also had a session performed on myself. I can say that it doesn't hurt, but it is definetly uncomfortable. I could feel the facial plates shifting while balloon was being quickly inflated. It felt like I was diving way too deep into the water and the pressure in my head was building up fast. But it was all over in a matter of seconds and I saw that my face was better aligned after my four sessions.
