ask: Anyone use Neurological Relief Center for Fibro relief?

Dear lslassister

Thanks for your question - allow us a day or two to check our resources and we'll share with you what we know. Thanks - and welcome!

I googled to ask this very same question! I am SO RELIEVED to at least find someone in the same predicament. Apparently this is going to cost big money even if insurance picks up part. Of course if it is a cure for Fibro I am IN somehow! I can't make this decision on one treatmt, however and I plan on telling my Chirop. that. I am going to listen to testimonials this am. Something I didn't want to do prior to my first treatmt. so I wouldn't be swayed.

Dear Anon and lslassister

The website for this organization is difficult to navigate. The testimonials cannot be proven obviously - there are no email addresses, just a testimonial and a person's first name. Many of the people pictured seem to be the same people, wearing different outfits, so that it looks like there are more success stories. One has a man in glasses with a shirt, and you then see the same man, in a different shirt, without his glasses. This happens over and over - one woman is pictured in three different outfits! I tried to download their testimonial videos and was unable. Of course, the same patients made have made many video testimonials on different days but this is a very unusual way to do things. The website is very basic and no information is given about techniques used. It's more of a "call now to learn more!" and " we have developed the amazing test to determine if you suffer from this debilitating condition. Along with the test we have also developed the treatment to help your condition." But no information is given at all.

The doctor has not had any peer reviews that I could find. There is no street address and no on-line locator available - you will to call or email "to find a doctor near you". This is also very unusual - most places have their geographic locations readily available - I have never heard of having to call to get an address!

In summation, it's hard to tell you anything because of the basic level of the website, lack of address, none of the videos work and there are no peer reviews. I wish we could tell you more. The practice may be perfectly fine, but as with any health center - use caution.

Thanks for the research, Susan! I suspected something was fishy when the whole pitch was about testimonials from an unknown clinic. When a medical treatment is not forthcoming with information on cost and what it entails, it's, well, sounding like a duck to me (hint: what sound does a duck make?). I got relief from the informational session that included putting pressure on the space between your jaw and ear, and then some pressure on the neck area. However, I would prefer straightforward accupuncture or accupressure or chiro treatments rather than this hush-hush pitch. It makes me angry that people in such pain are getting sucked into something out of their desperation for help. I don't believe infomercials and this is the same kind of pitch. I'm not going to use this clinic anymore and see what they might have billed my insurance company. Best of luck to others, Linda

My physician husband is actually getting trained on Nuerological Relief Technique. You are correct, In the video testimonials mentioned above, it is the same patient in the video because it shows "Joan's" progress over time. She begins to move and feel better each treatment. It is not an overnight remedy and takes multiple treatments, but so far I have seen first handedly amazing results. We are keeping an open mind, as testing and studies are being produced. The treatment/technique was actually designed from a fibro patient/physician himself. I will post again when my husband begins treating his patients. We hope and pray to provide relief to these patients suffering. Thank you, Cacy

Cacy, thanks for the insight. I don't understand what the treatment is supposed to be classified as for insurance purposes. Or, is the treatment an out-of-pocket service like getting acupuncture or massage therapy? Is your husband a chiropractor?

I read the comments on this blog. I am a certified doctor trained in the Neurologic Relief Centers Technique. I know many of you are skeptical and suspicious because of your past experience with "to good to be true" treatments and promises. Let me first say that as a doctor I take seriously my comimtment to be ethical and scientific and to tell you what I have observed first hand in offering this treatment to my patients. I have personally tested hundreds of people around the country. The results have been remarkable. I have personally many patients to date and they are regaining control of their lives and coming back to health with this natural approach. Yes, it does take a commitment to get well and the treatment protocol is intensive; but for those who we accept into our program the cost and the life saving results are worth the effort.

Consider this: if a person had cancer would they balk at the fact that the may have to receive dozens of radiation treatments or receive chemotherapy that can make them very sick? If that was the way back to health they take the road out. No question. We take the same attitude in handling this condition. It is a chronic and progressive condition that can rob people of their daily lives, relationships, and can lead to severe debilitating diseases. Fibro patients are isolated, often medicated and imprisoned in their body. Many well meaning doctors will prescribe drugs to handle them mentally or for pain. They do this because they have nothing else to offer as help. They are frustrated, too. Fibro patients can be medicated for years and years with no end in sight and no hope for change. They are lost and the medical costs run into the billons of dollars yearly.

The test screens out those that have a specific nerve compression problem that irritates the system and precipitating their condition, it is worth keeping an open mind to at least find a doctor near you that does perform the test and get tested. The testing criterial is very specific as is the results. There are a handfull of doctors currently adept at this program. Find a doctor specifically trained in NRCT can offer some answers.
