The human body has a plethora of nerves that travel and traverse a winding pathway to supply whatever structures they are designed to supply. Nerves are essentially just pressurized blood filled tubes that deliver messages to and from the thing they supply. Along this winding pathway, nerves have to pass around sharp corners and through tight spaces. They are all packed in closely near muscles, bones, intervertebral discs, blood vessels and fascial tissue. Along the route of a given nerve, it is possible for them to become trapped, irritated or compressed. The messages that the nerve distributes when this happens can be increased, decreased or stopped. When this occurs, you may start to experience symptoms such as numbness, pins & needles, shooting electrical pain, burning pain or pain somewhere else along that nerves pathway that is actually farther from the site of injury. 

Neurodynamic solutions is a conservative method of assessing, diagnosing and treatment of nerve related symptoms. This can be done by using neuromobilization techniques, decompressing areas of possible nerve compression or improving the nerves ability to interact with the mechanical interface. Knowing when, where and how to utilize these techniques requires a great deal of training but when used appropriately can be incredibly impactful!

Dr. Briant has been trained in Neurodynamic solutions and ensures to include this information in each of his assessments.
