  • Manual Medicine

    gentle, hands-on manipulation

Naprapathic Medicine is a system of healthcare that employs Manual Medicine, Nutritional Counseling and Therapeutic Modalities, specializing in the treatment of pain caused by Connective Tissue Disorders.

Connective tissue supports the spinal column and all joints and articulations of the body.* Connective Tissue Disorders are characterized by abnormal rigid and/or contracted (strained) ligaments, tendons and muscles. These disorders interfere with nerve conduction and the circulation of blood and lymph. This can result in pain and inflammation to the affected area of the body. Causes of connective tissue disorders can include traumatic injury (car accidents, sports injuries, falls, etc.), RMS (repetitive motion syndrome, such as work-related computer or machine use), heavy lifting and improper posture.

Doctors of Naprapathic Medicine are connective tissue specialists and use a three-fold strategy in the treatment of connective tissue disorders.

Naprapathic Manual Medicine. Hands-on (gentle) connective tissue manipulation (CTM) to the spine, joints and articulations of the body.

Nutritional Counseling. Recommendations for dietary changes, food supplementation (as through the use of herbs, vitamins and minerals) to assist the body in achieving optimal health.

Therapeutic Modalities. The use of the effective properties of physical measures of heat, cold, light, water, radiant energy, electricity, sound, air and assistive devices for the purpose of preventing, correcting or alleviating a physical disability. Modalities include ultrasound, electro-stimulation and low-level laser therapy (LLLT, also known as "cold laser therapy").

Some of the common connective tissue disorders that been successfully treated by Naprapathic Medicine include:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Headaches
  • Knee strains
  • Lower back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Pain in the extremities
  • Sciatica
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Tennis elbow

*There are four broad categories of connective tissue found in the body - Aerolar, Adipose, Dense and Reticular. Naprapathic Medicine primarily focuses on Dense (or Fibrous) Connective Tissue, which forms ligaments and tendons.

They filter lymph fluid, trapping pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, as well as cancer cells.

Additionally, they are involved in the production of lymphocytes, which are vital for adaptive immunity.

What is haemocromotosis?

I actually have haemocromotosis, so do my brothers and mother. And I am very sure so did my father. It's too much iron in the blood, and for people like my family, it doesn't matter what we eat, as doctors have told each of us at different times we would get iron out of water. The only so called cure for us is to have venesections on a regular basis. Which means going to the hospital and having blood drained from us. As far as I know, there is a particular blood test to diagnose the condition. So if you are feeling tired, lethargic, cranky... get tested. There has always got to be a 1st one in someones family to be the 1st diagnosed. I've been told left untreated that it will kill. Because it apparently causes cancer in major organs such as liver, heart, kidneys etc. If you are like me and female.. the ovaries are a concern too. I ended up with cysts in the ovaries, the cure? complete hysterctomy. Don't leave things to chance, if you are feeling just off, and can't put your finger on it.. get tested...
