What Is Neural Manipulation?
Neural Manipulation (NM) is ideal for symptoms that radiate from the neck to an arm or from the lower back to a leg because
NM is specialized training to treat individual nerves.

Neural manipulation is the palpation of restrictions in individual nerves to restore mobility and facilitate restoration of efficient function. Precise neural mobilization also helps promote nerve conduction to support local and systemic responsiveness.

Is Neural Manipulation an appropriate treatment for me?
Neural mobility is crucial for efficient function and optimal health and movement of the human body. Often, relieving tension in the nerve and/or nervous system also allows the muscles joints and fascia to relax further reducing symptoms and pain.

Neural manipulation can be incorporated quite effectively with Functional Manual Therapy as well as Visceral Manipulation to enhance overall outcomes in functional restoration for each individual’s goals

What problems can Neural Manipulation address?
Neural Manipulation can be used to treat a multitude of diagnoses including headaches, neck and back pain in addition to pain or dysfunction in the extremities. Sciatica, thoracic outlet syndrome, trigeminal nerve pain, cervical and lumbar radiculopathy and weakness from inhibition and pain in extremities also respond well to restoration of neural mobility.

How will I respond to treatment?
Neural Manipulation is a gentle technique to decrease pain and increase mobility in the affected area as mobility increases. Multiple treatments may be needed, especially if symptoms have been present for prolonged periods, as surrounding tissue systems may need treatment to restore mobility and reduce strain in the neural system.

How safe is it?
Neural Manipulation is a gentle, non-invasive, technique and is very safe for most patients. Precautions exist to allow for proper tissue healing after trauma or injury and history should be discussed with your practitioner to ensure the best care.)

What training is involved for Neural Manipulation?
Sally has completed many NM courses from the Barral Institute as well as the Institute of Physical Art.
