What is Neural Organisation Technique (NOT)?

Neural Organisation Technique is a specialised chiropractic approach that focuses on how the nervous system coordinates the body.

Your nervous system controls how your muscles, joints and organs communicate and function together.

When the body experiences stress — whether physical, emotional or chemical — the nervous system can develop protective patterns.

These patterns may contribute to symptoms such as:
• Neck or back pain
• Headaches
• Jaw tension
• Muscle tightness
• Postural changes

NOT works by identifying these stress patterns and helping the nervous system reorganise how the body moves and functions.

It often involves gentle muscle testing and specific adjustments or pressure to certain areas of the body.

Many people like this approach because it is gentle and focused on supporting the nervous system, rather than just treating symptoms.

Because when the nervous system communicates well, the body tends to function better too.

What is the fight or flight response?

The fight or flight response is your body’s built-in survival system.

It’s controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body to react quickly to stress or danger.

When this system activates, your body may experience:
• Increased heart rate
• Faster breathing
• Muscle tension
• Heightened alertness
• Reduced digestion and recovery

This response is helpful in short bursts.

But in modern life many people experience constant stress, which can leave the body stuck in this survival state — also known as sympathetic dominance.

When the body struggles to switch into rest and digest mode, people may notice:
• Difficulty relaxing
• Poor sleep
• Jaw tension
• Neck and shoulder tightness
• Headaches
• Digestive changes
Chiropractic care focuses on supporting the nervous system so the body can better regulate stress.

In practice, I often use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) to help unwind stress patterns and support nervous system balance. NOT works by identifying these stress patterns and helping the nervous system reorganise how the body moves and functions.

Because when the nervous system feels safer, the body can finally relax.

What is “text neck”?

Text neck is the strain placed on the neck from spending long periods of time looking down at phones, tablets or computers.

When the head tilts forward, it places much more pressure on the neck and upper back muscles.

Because screens are such a big part of modern life, text neck has become very common in both adults and children.

Common signs include:
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Tight shoulders
• Headaches
• Jaw tension
• Poor posture
• Upper back tension

Children and teenagers are especially affected because they often spend long periods using phones, tablets and laptops.

Chiropractic care focuses on improving how the neck, spine and nervous system are working together.

In practice, I often use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) to help unwind tension patterns affecting posture and movement.

Because in a world full of screens, supporting healthy neck function is more important than ever.

What is autonomic dysfunction?

Your autonomic nervous system controls many automatic functions in the body such as:
• Heart rate
• Digestion
• Breathing
• Blood pressure
• Sleep and recovery
• Stress responses

Normally, the body moves smoothly between fight or flight (stress mode) and rest and digest (recovery mode).

Autonomic dysfunction occurs when the nervous system struggles to regulate this balance.
This can leave the body feeling stuck in stress mode or struggling to regulate normal functions.

Common symptoms can include:
• Feeling constantly on edge
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Digestive changes
• Poor sleep

Chiropractic care focuses on supporting the nervous system so the body can regulate stress more effectively.

In practice, I often use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) to help unwind stress patterns and support better communication between the brain and body.

Because when the nervous system functions better, the body can too.

Did you know chiropractic care isn’t just for adults?

Children’s bodies are constantly growing and adapting.

From learning to crawl and walk to sports, school and daily activities, their spine and nervous system are always developing.

The nervous system controls many important functions including:
• Movement and posture
• Sleep
• Digestion
• Immune function
• Stress responses

Paediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting how the spine and nervous system are functioning during these important stages of development.

Adjustments for children are very gentle and specific, often using light pressure techniques.

Parents often seek chiropractic care for their kids when they notice:
• Poor posture
• Headaches
• Neck or back discomfort
• Growing pains
• Sports-related strains

In practice, I often use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) which helps support how the nervous system coordinates muscles and movement.

Because when the body moves well and the nervous system is supported, children can grow and develop more comfortably.

What is Chiropractic?

Many people think chiropractic is just about “cracking backs”… but it’s actually much more than that.

Chiropractic focuses on supporting the nervous system, which controls how your body moves, adapts and heals.

When joints in the spine or body aren’t moving properly, the nervous system can become stressed.

Chiropractic care helps restore healthy movement so the nervous system can communicate more clearly with the rest of the body.

In practice, this may involve adjustments, muscle work and nervous system based techniques.

I also use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) which helps unwind stress patterns in the body and is a great option for people who prefer a gentler approach.

Chiropractic isn’t just about pain relief — it’s about helping your body function at its best.

Your body doesn’t work in separate systems.

Everything in the body is connected.

Your nervous system acts like the communication network between the brain and the rest of the body, helping coordinate movement, digestion, stress responses, sleep and healing.

Because of this connection, when one system is under stress, others often feel the effects too.
For example:
• Neck tension → headaches
• Stress → digestive changes
• Jaw clenching → neck and shoulder pain
• Poor sleep → fatigue and tension
• Nervous system stress → muscle tightness

This is why symptoms often show up in more than one area of the body.

Chiropractic care focuses on supporting the nervous system and improving how the body communicates and moves as a whole.

In practice, I often use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) to help unwind stress patterns and restore better coordination between muscles, joints and the nervous system.

Because when the body communicates better, it functions better.

Many headaches actually start in the neck.

The joints, muscles and nerves of the neck and upper spine play a big role in how the head functions.

When these areas become tight or restricted, it can contribute to headaches such as:
• Tension headaches
• Cervicogenic headaches
• Headaches associated with neck stiffness

These headaches often feel like:
• A tight band around the head
• Pressure behind the eyes
• Pain starting in the neck and moving into the head
• Headaches that worsen with screen time or poor posture

Stress also plays a role.

When the body is under stress, the muscles of the neck, shoulders and jaw often tighten, which can increase pressure on surrounding nerves and tissues.

Chiropractic care focuses on improving how the neck, spine and nervous system are working together.

In practice, I often use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) which helps unwind tension patterns in the body and support better movement.

Because when the neck moves better and the nervous system is under less stress, headaches often improve too.

How does nervous system dysregulation cause anxiety?

Anxiety isn’t always just about thoughts.

Often, it’s connected to how the nervous system is functioning in the body.
Your nervous system constantly scans your environment for safety or danger. When it senses a threat, it activates the fight or flight response.

This response increases heart rate, tightens muscles and prepares the body to react.
The problem is that in modern life many people experience ongoing stress — work pressure, screens, poor sleep, emotional stress and physical tension.

Over time, the nervous system can become stuck in survival mode, even when there is no immediate danger.

This may show up as:
• Feeling constantly on edge
• Jaw clenching
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Racing thoughts
• Poor sleep
• Digestive changes

Supporting the nervous system helps the body move back toward a balanced state between stress and recovery.

In practice, chiropractic care focuses on supporting the nervous system so the body can regulate stress more effectively.

I often use Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) to help unwind stress patterns in the body and support nervous system balance.

Because when the nervous system feels safer, the body can finally relax.
