Neural Organization Technique   a noninvasive technique that corrects structural faults in the body, which may create disorganization within the nervous system. Neural organization allows the body to function in a subtle, synchronous manner. The body has self-regulating “switches” that can be turned on with outside intervention. Neural Organization Technique was developed in 1979 by Dr. Carl A. Ferreri, a chiropractor with extensive knowledge of Acupuncture and Applied Kinesiology. He recognized that there is an orderly neurological priority system and developed Neural Organization Technique to intervene in reorganizing normal function to the body. A central circuit (nerve) system organized in the brain and controlled primarily by the nervous system, controls the body’s major physiological functions, such as circulation, hormone secretion, digestion, excretion and learning. Signals from the body, as well as exogenous factors, come through receptors on the body into these circuits, which then transmit information to the brain. In the brain, these messages are organized and then redirected back to the body to affect change in a particular body part. Many health problems develop when improper signals, from either environmental, chemical, physical or emotional sources, cause a breakdown in the circuitry. This results in a disorganization in a particular system, often causing an inappropriate physiologic reaction. This protocol uses digital pressure found in the Meridian system of acupuncture and other points on the Lymphatic system in an organized manner to switch on these regulatory points. Precise pressure and location can help reconnect the circuits. 1 Neural Organization Technique has been used to treat concussions, scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine), multiple sclerosis, Down’s Syndrome, cerebral palsy, allergies, dyslexia and other learning disabilities. A pilot study examining the application of Neural Organization Technique on children with learning disabilities was published in Concern, a British children’s journal. All children showed significant improvements in intellectual functioning and in the ten skills that were tested. Every child improved In at least two skill areas with some improving in as much as six. Almost seven percent of the children showed improvements in full scale I.Q. tests, with gains from 4-14 percent. 2 An individual’s success depends on the stage or progression of his or her particular condition. 1 Stillerman, Elaine, L.M.T., The Encyclopedia of Bodywork: From Acupressure toZone Therapy, New York, New York: Facts On File, Inc., 1996, p. 163. 2 Kitay D.C., Annalee, Dr., “Neural Organization Technique—Treatment for Learning Disabilities,” Relevant Times, March/April 1993, P. 18.
