NIP - Neuroimpulse Protocol
The chiropractors at Prohab all use a form of full body assessment referred to as the NeuroImpulse Protocol. This technique was developed by Dr Neil Davies. NIP is based on gentle touch and very light thrusting. This very specific, low force adjusting method allows your nervous system to better interpret and integrate the sensory input from the thrust and to appropriately process it throughout the brain and spinal cord.
What is NIP?
NIP is referred to as a ‘tonal technique’ because its intent is to normalise the natural tone held in the nervous system. Imagine that your nervous system has a volume control — if you turn the volume up too much it causes distortion — this distorted function in the nervous system can and does manifest as musculoskeletal stress and pain, internal organ dysfunction and diminished immune response. Similar inappropriate responses are also seen when the volume is set too low. When the volume is set wrongly the nervous system sends distorted messages to the body, adversely affecting tone. The result is sluggish body function with a slowing of normal responses. You may become aware of this as weakness in your muscles which are now not supporting your skeletal framework adequately leading to pain and discomfort.
Will I have to come back really often?
Your Prohab Chiropractor will tailor make a management plan to help you achieve your goals and tonal neutral as fast as possible. The speed with which you achieve this will be directly associated with how well you engage on all aspects of the programme. Typically our clients are out of pain in 30 days or less and our data shows more than 80% or clients normalise postural tone in less then 90 days. Many of our clients choose to continue receiving wellness care check-ups (typically every 30 days) because they love feeling balanced.
What can I expect after an NIP adjustment?
Most of our patients report feeling a great sense of relaxation and a feeling of wellbeing after each NIP adjustment. Many patients heave a deep sigh immediately following an NIP adjustment as their body releases tension from deep within the nervous system that may have been accumulating for years. NIP adjustments never hurt, they are not risky in any way and the overall experience as a patient is usually pleasant and enjoyable.
