Neuroemotional Technique(NET)
Can Help the Body Heal Faster
| |
|
Most people can't deny that the mind has a profound affect on the body. Numerous studies have been conducted that show people who identify as having mild or moderate depression and or anxiety have a much higher incidence of physical pain in their bodies. As a chiropractor I have personally witnessed the correlation between increased stress in a person's life and their severe episodes of low back pain, midback pain, neck pain, shoulder pain etc.
Recently, I had a new patient come into my office and tell me that he has had low back pain consistently for one year, with only one full week that it dissipated 3 months prior. He elaborated that the pain went away when he took off from the tarmac at laguardia airport, and he was pain free for his entire week of vacation. His pain returned when his plane landed back in New York. How's that for the mind affecting the body.
What is Neuroemotional Technique?
Neuroemotional technique or NET is a mind body technique that helps the body with emotional stress and freeing the body of this stress. Emotional stress in the body can be understood as a physiological response to a an emotional stimulus. If we are stunned or frightened by something, our heart rate may increase, our breathing becomes more rapid, our palms may become sweaty.
Specific emotions can cause a physiological response as well. An immediate response to anger may be an increased breathing rate, a flushing of the face, sometimes even pupil dilation.
 Hans Seyle's work showed that emotional and mental stressors produce the same biochemical physiological responses as do chemical and physical stress. Emotions are related to neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, and hormones.
They are information substances that can interact with every cell in the body. When an emotion is produced these chemical messengers get to work on the different parts of the body in different ways.
A major component of NET is the acupuncture theory of the five element law. This theory associates specific emotions with a specific meridian system. Some examples of this are the connection between anger and the liver meridian, fear and the kidney meridian, and grief with the lung meridian. NET identifies specific emotional stressors in the body through the connection of acupuncture pulse points and or chiropractic body map points.
Muscle testing is another component of NET that allows a practitioner to identify a treatment solution for the patient. NET works with the limbic system of the body or the primitive mammalian part of the brain. This is also known as the subconscious. Psych therapists mostly work with the neocortex, which is the conscious or reasoning brain.
NET can assist the body in the extinction of an emotional response to a specific emotional stimuli. Extinction is a gradual weakening of a conditioned response. For example, pavlov's dog would salivate at the sound of a bell because the dog was conditioned to believe food was being served. After multiple times of food not being served with the bell sound, the dog no longer salivated.
Sometimes the emotional stressor will remain as a conditioned response, and the body will have the same repeated physiological response with many similar types of stress. If that is the case than a neuroemotional complex or nec is present and the NET technique can be used to help the body.
A new patient came into my office and had severe pain in her low back. She indicated that she has an episode of severe pain about every 3 or 4 months. I tested her to see if there was a neuroemotional complex associated with her pain. She tested positive for the NET technique. The technique identified an association of resentment towards her father and the pain. She started to cry when this was verbally suggested to her and confirmed that it made sense to her.
We went right into a specific pulse point correction to address this underlying emotional stressor. The session concluded with her having a strong muscle test and she reported feeling more calm and less back pain. The next visit I saw her she said her pain had decreased by sixty percent. She also indicated that over the weekend she decided to call her father and express how she felt, which I believe helped her tremendously.
If you, your family or friends would like to work with NET, please call my office and tell kari or bill that you would like an NET session.
Healthfully yours, Dr. Lou Granirer |
