About Neuralign
What is Neuralign?
Neuralign is a unique, purely physiological method of realigning the body.
A light touch is applied to skin receptors at specific points on the body.
This activates a feedback process within the central nervous system.
The body responds by readjusting and moving into its optimal alignment.
Neuralign is so gentle that it is suitable for all ages, from the newborn
to the elderly, including those who may have osteoporoses or other degenerative diseases.
It is an effective treatment for acute or chronic conditions, even though there is
no manipulation involved.
 The human body has specific receptors for
all major joints, including the skull
and jaw, elbows, wrists, knees and ankles. So, although most of our patients come
to us for back and neck pain relief, we also treat many other conditions including
frozen shoulders, headaches and other joint pain caused by misalignment.
What does a Neuralign treatment involve?
 Please bring your X-rays etc, that relate to your condition. Wear loose,
comfortable clothing during your treatment (no jeans, please). You don't need to undress.
For a Neuralign treatment to be effective, the muscles need to be relaxed,
so treatment is usually given while you rest in a prone position (face down)
on a massage table. For those who may find this uncomfortable (eg pregnancy),
we have other alternatives that I will discuss with you.
A basic treatment lasts approximately 30 - 45 minutes. The receptors for the whole spine,
as well as the hips, shoulders and neck are activated in a Neuralign treatment.
What will I feel?
You will feel a gentle touch on the specific points that we treat. Sometimes
you may feel warmth or tingling as your body responds.
Due to changes in your balance, you may feel a little dizzy
when you first stand after having a treatment and your shoes
may feel strange. The dizziness soon passes as you adjust to
your new posture. However, if your shoes are heavily worn, we
recommend that you have them resoled to prevent recurrence of
old walking habits.
"I feel so relaxed" or "I feel looser" are
common response after a treatment.
Your body will only realign
itself at a rate that is comfortable for you, so you may continue
to experience changes for up to 48 hours after treatment. You
may experience some muscle stiffness the following day , but
it can be minimised by having a warm shower or bath before going
to bed.
Some of the changes you may notice as your body realigns
and your balance changes are:
- sleep better and get out of bed more easily
- stand more comfortably with better posture
- it more comfortably for longer periods of time
- experience less tension in your neck and shoulders
- exercise more easily
How many treatments will you need?
Most people experience an increase in mobility and a reduction in pain after one or two
treatments, however response varies according to the length
of time the condition has existed, as well as individual recovery
rates.
Older injuries can still be treated successfully, although
they may take a little longer due to the stiffness in the affected
muscles. In these cases, remedial massage may be suggested to
accelerate recovery.
