HOW THE NIMMO TECHNIQUE WORKS
Dr. Rubanenko, DC is certified in a unique trigger point release therapy called NIMMO. NIMMO is a trigger point therapy treatment that offers chronic pain relief. NIMMO goes beyond the treatment of symptoms to eliminate the cause of pain, promoting healing and preventing recurrence.
THE PAIN CYCLE
-
Trauma — Chronic pain can be caused from any type of injury, or recurring motions.
-
Protective Reaction — The nervous system responds by sending an impulse to the muscles around the area of injury, causing them to tighten. Muscles tighten and create a network of tension areas known as “trigger points”.
-
Repetition — These protective impulses are helpful while the injury heals, but the body learns through repetition. The nervous system does not sense healing and continues to send protective impulses, causing unnecessary muscle tension.
-
Chronic Discomfort — This constant tightening creates a cycle of pain. The pain stays until the protective impulses are interrupted.
DR. RUBANENKO’S SOLUTION
Isolate the Pain — Finding the source of chronic pain requires expert knowledge of the:
-

Skeletal System
Dr. Rubanenko understands the relationships between these systems, allowing her to to target the source of pain.
-
Apply Specific Pressure — Dr. Rubanenko uses pressure to relieve trigger points, which restores joint function.
-
Break the Cycle — The resolution of the trigger points allows for relaxation and pain relief, as well as prevention from re-injury.
