Gentle, Low Force Chiropractic Care

The Neuro Impulse Protocol (NIP) is a gentle, low force chiropractic technique developed by Dr Neil Davies (Chiropractor). Unlike traditional chiropractic, NIP involves no cracking, no twisting, and no uncomfortable positions. NIP works by assessing how well your brain is coordinating your movement, muscle activation and strength. Using precise muscle strength and movement tests, we identify where the nervous system is not communicating properly with the body — then apply gentle, targeted corrections to restore normal function. In most cases the result is a measurable change in movement and strength that patients can often feel each time corrections are made.

How Does NIP Work?

NIP begins with a thorough assessment of movement, strength and reflexes. When there is a problem with a joint or muscle in the body, it creates a predictable picture — a loss of movement and strength that follows a recognisable pattern. The art of NIP is reverse engineering that pattern to find the exact joint or muscle that needs correction for the brain to restore normal function.

We test muscle strength and joint movement precisely and methodically. Once we identify the primary problem — not just a compensation — we apply a gentle, targeted correction by hand. No force. No cracking. Patients remain in a comfortable, neutral position throughout.

After the correction, we retest immediately. In most cases the improvement in strength and movement is measurable right there in the room — something you can see and feel for yourself.
