What is Naprapathy?
Naprapathic medicine utilizes manual manipulation, modern modalities (ultrasound and electrical stimulation), and nutritional counselingto treat connective disorders. Doctors of Naprapathic Medicine - a Naprapath - put to use their years of study of neuromyology (the study of nerve and muscle), as well as their knowledge of physiology, kinesiology, and nutrition to enhance the treatment of their patients.

Naprapaths are connective tissue specialists who detect tissue imbalances and structural imbalances in the body using the most sensitive instrument in the world — their hands! A thorough evaluation by a naprapath can include the following:

  • • Detailed medical history
  • • Postural analysis
  • • Orthopedic and neurological testing
  • • Muscle and range of motion examinations
  • • Use of MRI reports


  • Treatment
    Naprapathic treatment consists of Naprapathic manipulative techniques, adjunctive treatments (modalities) and nutritional counseling.

    Naprapathic Techniques • Gentle manipulation of the vertebrae to stretch the attached, contracted connective tissue that may be irritating the nerves as they exit the spinal column.
    • Manipulation/mobilization of the muscles and related soft tissue structures help restore imbalances.
    • Joint mobilization of restricted joints and articulations to restore full range of motion.

    What is connective tissue? Connective tissue is found throughout the human body. It includes ligament, tendons, muscles, cartilage and other structures, and provides support to every system of the body. Your body is a complex network of connective tissue, which can become imbalanced: too tight in some areas (contracted), too loose in other areas (lax). These imbalances often result in pain. You may be totally unaware that have comprehensive musculoskeletal imbalances until a build-up of signs and symptoms reaches an unbearable level of pain and loss of function. These imbalances can occur slowly and, over time, cause your body's connective tissue to become "tight" and distorted. This can put strain and stress on the body's musculoskeletal system and lead to a variety of problems.

    Some causes of imbalance are:
    •Poor sleeping position
    •Faulty posture
    •Improper biomechanics
    •Predisposition (family history)

    Imbalances can also occur due to sudden trauma, such as:
    •Motor vehicle accidents
    •Falls
    •Sports injuries
