Chronic pain treatments using The Neurocentric Approach (NCA)
Dysfunction of the nerves is the most common cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain that is regularly overlooked or misdiagnosed, leading to ineffective treatments that offer only temporary relief without addressing the root cause of the issue. Nerves are extremely important structures that impact the entire body. Their dysfunction can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, reduced movement, and decreased function. For nerves to function properly, they need to be able to slide/glide, stretch, tolerate tension, and move in various directions as you move your body. If any of these are impeded for long enough, chronic pain and dysfunction occurs. The Neurocentric Approach (NCA) is a system of diagnosing, treating, and resolving these issues quickly and often with long-lasting results. Using NCA as a framework, our doctors are able to pinpoint the cause of neural dysfunction quickly and provide targeted treatments to resolve your issue as quickly as possible. It is especially effective when combined with chiropractic manipulation, exercise, and massage. While this approach can be used to treat injuries of all types, it is particularly effective at resolving the most difficult of cases.
If you answer yes to 3 or more of the following questions, then you would benefit from treatment using the NCA:
Have you had your pain or dysfunction for 6 months or more?
Have you already tried several other treatments or providers without success?
Does your pain INCREASE or DECREASE with certain movements, postures, or positions?
Are you willing to undergo manageable pain in order to get better?
Are you looking for permanent relief?
Some of the most common conditions our doctors have had success in treating using NCA are:
Sciatica
Plantar fasciitis
Numbness/tingling anywhere in the body
Shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand pain (e.g., tennis/golf elbow, Carpal tunnel synd.)
Headaches
Sharp/shooting pains anywhere in the body
Hip, knee, ankle, foot pain
Rib pain
Conditions that keep coming back after treatment (i.e., feeling like your adjustments are “not holding” or you “keep going out”)
