Spinal Assessment
Contact us for a spinal & whole body assessment.
Scientific research has shown that to get past the brain stem, which is the neurological 'gate to the brain', impulses have to be fast enough to beat the gate. NIP works on the principle of using a light thrust but fast enough to beat the gateway to the brain. NIP integrates the latest neurological research available in assessing the nervous system to provide hard neurological evidence for Chiropractic intervention. An NIP practitioner will assess each patient's neurological deficits and then match movement patterns and compensation patterns to provide reproducible outcomes. Essentially, by addressing each person's neurology with NIP, a chiropractor is able to achieve individualised and effective results for any person in the family.
NIP provides an assessment protocol for your chiropractor to listen to your child'symptoms and to uncover what lies beneath the surface. A fully functioning nervous system & muscular system goes a long way in expressing your child's health potential!
Babies and children are much like a blank canvas. Having a good foundation to grow and develop is essential for the child to thrive to their full potential. As the nervous system is immature in children, there is little scar tissue involved with spinal misalignments (subluxations). It is a lot easier, and more effective, for the 'masterpiece of human nature' to take form in a child in comparison to an adult's 'canvas that is well used'. As health professionals are working with a blank canvas with children, it is essential for all health professionals to be respectful of the power of human form. Indeed, as family practitioners, our chiropractors at Life Balance do their upmost to care for every client, young and old alike, in the same way they would their own families.
Chiropractic, and especially the technique of NIP in Chiropractic, addresses the concept of the child, only providing the baby or child with health care that is necessary. If the child requires intervention, it is found through a number of neurological processes, and not just relying on the practitioner's feel in their hands.
