NCI: Neuro Cranial Integration
Neuro Cranial Integration (NCI) is a specific technique that aligns the bones of the head, the vertebra; balances the brain and nervous system from the top down and from the inside out. The re-alignment takes tension off the nervous system, releases cranial, fascia and muscle tissue fixations, and returns proper cerebrospinal fluid flow throughout the spine and entire body. When pressure is taken off the brain, it can do its job more efficiently and allow the body to function at a higher level. The brain and the nervous system control every function of the body.
Why is Neuro Cranial Integration Different?
NCI is able to affect the brain, the spine and the entire nervous system in a way that is simply not accessible through regular spinal manipulation or soft tissue techniques. Although other systems of care also affect the cranium, none reach the level of the dura mater so precisely. The dura mater is a protective covering over the brain and all the nerves; when this tough tissue is distorted there is pressure on the nervous system and irregular flow of nerve impulses – when re-aligned the nervous system works without interference.
How Long Does a Treatment Last?
The Neuro Cranial Integration procedure actually lasts only about two minutes and does not include any typical Chiropractic jerking, “popping” or “cracking.” Instead, it feels like a profound stretch throughout the body. Specific conditions, diseases or symptoms are not treated. Instead, the treatment addresses the body’s mastermind organ, the brain, and everything it connects to.
How Does Treating The Brain Affect the Rest of My Body?

Because Neuro Cranial Integration allows the left and right brain hemispheres to re-balance and reintegrate in a profound way, the functioning of the central nervous system improves. The brain is the master regulator of every organ and tissue in the body. It communicates to the organs through the nerves. In fact, 80% of the nerves in your body originate in the brain. These nerves extend down the spine and to all your organs. The job of your nervous system is to carry critical signals to your organs and tissues, then relay the information back. If this function is compromised, so is your health.
Neuro Cranial Integration helps restore optimal signal transfer and function to your nerves and brain. With signal transfer and optimal functioning back on track, the body is then able to restore health and balance in all its aspects – structural/physical, mental and emotional. It is often said that NCI “Triggers the Body’s Reset Button.” What this means is that it releases (in some cases, restarts) the natural healing ability of the body.

How Does the Brain Affect My Back Pain?
Research shows that the spinal alignment and cranial bone alignment follow the alignment of the Dura Mater. The major portion of the nervous system is protected bythe cranium (the 22 bones of theskull)and the vertebral bones. As discussed before, the brain and the spinal cord are protected in a tough material called the dura mater (translated from the Latin to mean, “tough mother’). It is a membrane that acts as a durable sheath holding the brain hemispheres together and extending down the spine and body. It is attached to the skull; to the spine to the first two neck vertebra and to the sacrum or tailbone. When the dura is misaligned/distorted it causes an uneven pull, causing distortions (twisting) of the skull, the spine and the entire nervous system.
What Does it Treat?
Neuro Cranial Integration takes contractions out of the body, re-balances the cranial bones, brain hemispheres and vertebrae, and leaves the patient with a feeling of release. The procedure can be performed on infants to geriatrics. (Note: many cranial problems occur at birth, so corrections early on can prevent years of suffering). Although NCI does not treat any specific condition, the types of patients that seek care with a typical NCI practitioner are: Patients who are seeking optimum wellness and…
Chronic conditions: Headaches, Migraines and other types, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, Cerebral Palsy. Many practitioners have seen dramatic results with ADD/ADHD and Autistic children. Mild traumatic brain injuries, strokes and Multiple Sclerosis have responded to this gentle approach to healthcare. When the nervous system is working better, the possibilities are endless.
