Licensed Naprapath - Licensed Dietitian in Cicero, Illinois (IL)

Doctors of Naprapathic Medicine are connective tissue specialists who use the science of Neuromyology (the study of nerve and muscle) to increase their understanding of these disorders and enhance the treatment of their patients.

Naprapaths (Neuromyologists) are licensed Health Care Providers that treat connective tissues disorders. Naprapathic doctors use physical medicine which include the practices of hydrotherapy, exercise therapy, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and manipulation of the bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues to restore function and health.

Doctors of Naprapathy also use food, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other natural substances to stimulate a healing response. Naprapaths are fully trained in the use of botanical medicine.

What is Neuromyology and why is it different?

Neuromyology is a joining of applied neurology and applied muscle physiology into a very unique form of healthcare; this cutting edge approach consistently delivers powerful results, often where others fail.

With this technology, nervous system interference gets removed so that the body can effectively heal itself of ailments and illness, including challenging pain syndromes. Spastic, tight and ill contoured muscles are the greatest threat to the normal workings of the nervous system; being that the nervous system is of supreme importance in how the body works, integrates, heals and adapts, this ill functioning musculature is a very significant doorway to removing the impediments of healing.

Many professions and approaches consistently ignore disturbed muscle tone and very often disturb it further with inappropriate methods and procedures, which tend to contribute to conditions becoming and staying chronic as well as causing a lifelong dependency on medications.
