Neuroreceptor Therapy
What is neuroreceptor therapy?
The simple answer is, “The signals from the body to the brain are being reset.”
The confusion stems from the fact that the understanding of this concept requires somewhat of a paradigm shift, and a new frame of reference must be adopted with regards to how the body functions.
Most people understand the basic concept that the brain serves as a central processing unit and that the five senses; sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch serve as inputs to the brain from outside stimuli to interpret the external world.
Where most people’s understanding falls short is the concept of how many other signals are being conveyed to the brain from their own organs and tissues to regulate optimal functionality of the human organism. These other signals are coming from “Neuroreceptors”.
There are approximately 18 known neuroreceptors which are constantly monitoring the state of our bodily systems and sending this information to the brain. These Neuroreceptors respond to the following distinct stimuli: stretch, slap, light pressure, deep pressure, rub, vibration (125Hz, 256 Hz, 512Hz), tickle, itch, hot, cold, prick, swipe, tapping, looking towards, body hair stimulation, thinking about the pain.
Why am I feeling this ______?
Our Bodies are amazingly designed vehicles that are extremely complex, and more often then not what you are dealing with is a software problem, which if left unchecked or uncorrected will lead to major hardware problems.
How does neuroreceptor therapy work?
The neuroreceptor therapy concept clearly explains exactly how we create dysfunction, how to identify and assess dysfunction, & how to permanently treat dysfunctions.
The neuroreceptor therapy system encompasses a wide spectrum of functional dysfunctions on all levels - musculoskeletal, endocrine, autonomic, chemical, emotional and mental. Not only can it relieve painful symptoms, but it can also significantly improve human performance in all areas of life.
The menu of proprioceptive modalities that neuroreceptor therapy is able to treat includes mechanoreceptors, muscle spindle cells, Golgi tendon organs in ligaments, tendons and fascia, nociceptors, pressure, vibration, viscera, meridians, emotions, nuclei of the brain and others.
What causes dysfunctions? Too much of any stimulus at one time to...
- Emotional/Stress/Memory
- Physical/Trauma
- Chemical/Consumption of assortment of foods/substances
- Overuse/Sports/Anything Repetitive or for Long Durations
What does neuroreceptor therapy treat?
... Software, not Hardware.
- Aberrant proprioception of receptors is the cause of all neuromuscular dysfunctions.
- Neuromuscular dysfunctions exist for neurologic reasons, not b/c of some inherent quality with the muscle itself.
- This is not to say tissue damage in not a real entity.
- The tissue will heal itself in days or weeks, whereas the neurologic components can persist indefinitely. (This is why often people never "fully" recover from an injury)
There are four states/conditions a muscle can be in...
- Normotonic = Working properly and efficiently. The muscle is able to contract on demand, sustain a contraction, and relax. (THIS STATE IS WHAT IS IDEAL)
- Inhibited = Cannot contract or sustain a contraction. The muscle is unable to contract or help stabilize a joint through a motion, which forces other muscles to "pick up the slack" and work harder.
- Hypertonic = Constantly contracting and unable to relax. The muscle is unable to release a contraction and is constantly squeezing. Could be squeezing on nerves, veins, arteries, and joints in an improper manner.
- Switched = A switch is a neurologic disassociation in which the normal autogenic responses of the body are opposite. Meaning that the muscle is active when it should be relaxed, and relaxed when it should be active.
What are the types of receptor pathways that can house dysfunctions?
- Mechanoreceptors
- Nociceptors
- Chemoreceptors
- Brain Nuclei
- Spinothalamic
- Meridian
- Emotional
