Neuro Modulation Technique

NMT is an elegant method developed by Oregonian Dr. Leslie Feinberg, D.C. NeuroModulation Technique is not a medical or psychological diagnostic procedure and does not diagnose disease. NMT, however, does determine the patient’s perception of conditions contributing to illness.

The human nervous system is a very sophisticated “bio-computer” that can be thought of as having a voluntary/conscious control system as well as an autonomic/unconscious control system. Illness may result from confusion within the body’s nonconscious internal control center, referred to in NMT as the Autonomic Control System (ACS).

According to this model, illness may represent faulty or incomplete information that the ACS has been using to regulate body functioning.
Since the ACS represents the body’s nonconscious internal control center, some type of communication with the ACS is needed in order to find out what type of information or corrections the ACS may need in order to function more effectively. NMT uses Muscle Response Testing (MRT) to allow the NMT practitioner to communicate with the Autonomic Control System of the patient in order to detect ACS errors.

Bring the body back into balance

Enhance the body’s ability to heal itself

Permit real-time reprogramming of biological data processing systems that control our physiology

The human nervous system is a very sophisticated “bio-computer” that is separated into the conscious/voluntary, and autonomic/unconscious control systems. We aren’t aware of the Autonomic Control System that functions in the background of our nervous system – otherwise our conscious mind would be so distracted by body processes that we could not concentrate to do anything else. There is an awareness barrier between these two areas of our brain. We can’t know our own blood pressure, or the state of our digestion and other body processes just by thinking about them.

According to this model, illness may represent faulty or incomplete information that the ACS has been using to regulate body functioning.
Since the ACS represents the body’s nonconscious internal control center, some type of communication with the ACS is needed in order to find out what type of information or corrections the ACS may need in order to function more effectively. NMT uses Muscle Response Testing (MRT) to allow the NMT practitioner to communicate with the Autonomic Control System of the patient in order to detect ACS errors.

NMT uses this MRT method to first “Access” the ACS – to open the window to “see” internal function. We then “Assess” – to measure the faults in ACS function that are responsible for the patient’s illness. Finally, NMT uses a powerful system of clinical protocols to “Modulate” the condition – to push the control systems of the body in the direction of normal function. The NMT practitioner uses a system of clinical treatment pathways tailored to the various causes of illness we discussed earlier. These protocols involve a series of “queries” – questions used to find control system errors, as shown by MRT. Next the NMT practitioner uses specific corrective statements of the protocol to train the ACS toward normal function – the first step in the return to wellness. This part of us, not under our conscious control, regulates all the inner processes of our body and includes all of the physical components, and mental controls too. Unfortunately, it often gets “out of balance,” confused  –  one might compare the brain to a computer and the errors in maintaining optimal health  could be defined as a “bug” and one’s internal control system must be “reset”.

The premise is that some part of the body/mind/spirit, or ACS, knows what is wrong and it is possible for the practitioner to access this information through muscle testing. When effective communication is established, then the small part of you that knows what is wrong and how to fix it is brought into communication with the whole of you. In each step of this method we respectfully ask your body/mind’s permission and guidance before proceeding. This whole process is called OTC-to-OTC communication (other than conscious to other than conscious) and uses MRT (muscle response testing) as the tool to get answers. After finding the issue and enhancing the body’s awareness of it, we then ask the ACS to correct it; and then reinforce/install the correction with tapping on the head or spine while you breath in a rhythmic pattern.

Pain is almost always caused by some problem in the feedback loops, starting with abnormal sensations from sensors in the joints, muscles or nerves that go up to your brain. NMT tracks down this glitch or defect in the signaling and asks the body to correct it. This simple “reset” often helps long-standing pain/problems.

Neuro Modulation Technique also allows assess and ask the body to correct many pathways that seam to contribute to ill health, including the sensory motor systems described above, and also allergies, toxicities, and dysbiosis, inflammation and acute illness. This work goes far beyond pain and allows us to address challenges with autoimmune illness, fibromyalgia, asthma, and many other conditions.

Compassionate Art"

“Verena has given me not only safe and nurturing environment in which to work, but also an image I hope to embody with any healing practice I take on for myself during my life. She is perceptive, warm, extremely skilled, and compassionate beyond words. I am so grateful to her care, and to the space she holds sacred for those in need.”
