Dr. Kitay believes that we all have an inherent ability to be healthy.  She sees her role as a facilitator to help attain, regain, or maintain a healthy state of being.  A person is more that their individual parts.  Every system, organ and limb is interdependent on each other.  Identifying the origins and the dynamics of an imbalance among these parts and the consequences thereof are important in understanding the resulting symptoms.  By creating balance at the core level, symptoms can disappear and a state of well being is restored.

DR. ANNALEE KITAY, a doctor of chiropractic, has studied Neural Organization Technique with Dr. Carl A. Ferreri, the developer of the protocol, since 1989. Formerly in practice at the Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine and in private practice in New Jersey, Dr. Kitay now practices in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale Florida. Dr. Kitay also sees patients in New Jersey during scheduled times throughout the year. She can be reached by calling toll free: 888-456-0065 or in Florida 954-481-8511 or 561-620-6007

What is Neural Organization Technique?

Neural Organization Technique is a powerful tool that uses a different approach when treating a patient. To give a simple explanation of how the technique works, lets compare the human body to a house with its electrical system.  The electrical system is set up so that electricity goes to different areas of the house to run the appliances, to run the heating, cooling and plumbing systems and to allow the lights to work.

There is a main panel board or circuit box that controls these functions.  Some times outside stressors (like inclement weather) can cause a short circuit in one of the systems, but by touching the correct switches that are connected to the main panel, the circuit can be reconnected enabling a return to normal function.

The Neural Organization Technique is based on the idea that the human body is made up of various circuits extending between the brain and the various systems of the body.  These different circuits control the body's major functions, such as circulation, digestion, hormone secretion, excretion and learning.

Signals from the body, as well as from outside factors, come through receptors on the body into these circuits, where the information is then transmitted to the brain.  In the brain these messages are organized and the redirected back to the body to effect change in a particular system.

Many health problems develop as a result of improper signaling from the body (like emotional and genetic stresses), or from outside sources, (like environmental, chemical or physical stresses).  This improper signaling causes a break in the normal flow of information to the brain, creating disorganization in the system.  The brain may then redirect inappropriate signals back to the body's systems,  which may in turn cause inappropriate physiological reactions.

When there are inappropriate many health.jpgphysiological reactions, outside intervention is needed to accelerate the natural healing process. Neural Organization is a manual technique that corrects structural and physiological abnormalities by reorganizing the way information is transmitted in the body.  Based on  the principal of acupuncture, applied kinesiology, and chiropractic, it is a non-invasive technique in which the physician uses light to moderate digital pressure on various points of the patient's body.  Gentle spinal and cranial bone manipulation are used as well.

The method of assessment used in Neural Organization Technique is based primarily in applied kinesiological concepts in which an indicator muscle is used for determining which circuits or channels have been disrupted.  This method accesses the body's own knowledge of itself.  If there is a functional or structural deficit anywhere in the body there will be a change in the electromagnetic energy in that part or function.  When such an area is touched by the physician or patient this change in energy is registered in the indicator muscle.

The Neural Organization Technique Theory holds that the human body is set up in such a way that by just touching precise points on the body, the disrupted informational circuits can reconnect to restore the once normal function.
