DYNAMIC HEALING
through NeuroCranial Restructuring
(Foreword)

As a practicing chiropractor for twenty-two years, my professional life has been enmeshed with the dynamic interplay between structure and function. I have repeatedly seen the marvelous and awesome response the body makes when misaligned vertebrae are stimulated to move by a spinal adjustment.

The majority of our time in the work day is spent interacting with patients utilizing their spinal columns as our "portal of entry" to recruit a change in their health/symptom complexes. (Chiropractic gets results. That's why it has lasted - despite vigorous and persistent opposition.) The spinal column accounts for roughly 20% of the nervous system, the remaining 80% residing in the skull. Therefore, it seems that a natural imperative for those of us wanting to affect change in the nervous system would be to search above the atlas (Cervical-1).

Over the years, many notable and insightful clinicians and researchers have added to the body of knowledge of that branch of physical medicine dealing with cranial technique. One of these persons is Dean Howell, a naturopathic physician from Washington State. Dr. Howell has transformed his experience of Bilateral Nasal Specific Technique (BNS) - taught for about fifty years without modification - into NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR). I believe this procedure is the most powerful, effective tool in the arena of physical manipulation today and that it should be part of the foundation procedures of any practitioner doing physical medicine.

I was trained by Dr. Howell in November, 1996 and have used NCR in my practice since that time. The results obtained from the application of the technique are POSITIVELY EXCITING! Changing people's lives is much more the norm now than it used to be, and my practice is so much more rewarding as well. I have worked on people of all ages, ranging from infants to advanced seniors.

Suzin Stockton has done a wonderful job of detailing the history, mechanics and benefits of NCR. Physicians: If you are willing to EXPLODE out of your clinical "comfort zones," consider studying NCR. It will change your lives and the lives of the patients in your practice.
