Welcome

What is Naprapathic Medicine?

Naprapathic medicine is manually applied movements, passive and active, designed to bring motion with consequent release of tension into abnormally tensed and rigid ligaments, muscles and articulations of the human body.

Naprapathic Doctors are connective tissue specialists. They evaluate people with connective tissue disorders through palpation. Naprapaths treat patients by gently manipulating vertebrae to stretch the attached ligaments and connective tissue, which may be irritating the nerves as they exit the spinal column, causing pain.

Naprapaths may treat their patients in a variety of ways, via:

  • Connective tissue manipulation (working the soft tissue, or fascia)
  • Teaching therapeutic or rehabilitative exercises
  • Postural counseling
  • Nutrition counseling
  • Use of many modalities such as heat, cold, cupping, taping, scraping, and stretching. 
  • Recommending assistive devices for the purpose of preventing, correcting or alleviating physical disability.

Although similar in some capacities, Naprapathy differs from Chiropractic in critical ways. Patients view Naprapathy as an alternative to high velocity adjustments (popping and cracking) that Chiropractors utilize to treat musculoskeletal conditions. Naprapathy gently treats range of motion, muscular tension, and spinal alignment.
