REDCORD

To achieve optimal structural spinal correction Advanced Chiropractic works with Redcord ®. This is a system for suspension training developed in Norway. It has been widely studied and scientifically documented for over two decades. In Redcord we can reactivate the deep muscles to keep the vertebras in their optimal position.

REDCORD MEDICAL -Pain relief and improved physical function

 NEURAC ® means “neuromuscular activation”. It is a method developed by Redcord that allows us to detect muscular imbalances and dysfunctions and thereafter correct them.

 The muscles that do not receive the necessary nerve impulses do not work as they should. This disturbs the normal muscle balance and leaves some of them continuously overloaded and as a consequence painful and stiff. This in turn can cause chronic pains and recurring problems. 

Neurac is a unique method based on therapeutic exercises by ropes and slings and the use of your own body weight. We systematically analyze the whole body to reveal weaknesses between the nervous system and muscles so we can correct them.

Neurac treatment has five main elements:

1. Suspension exercise

• Closed kinetic chain (body-weight-bearing exercises)
• The use of ropes and slings for graded suspension. 

2.Instability

• The effects of an unstable surface provided by the slings
• Perturbing the ropes and slings manually to increase 
  unsteadiness

3.Use of various movement planes

• Conscious use of movement directions like the body works in everyday life.

4. Workload

• Taloired exercise with precise grading of workload.
• Neuromuscular challenge gradually increase

5. Pain free approach

•  No provocation of pain
• Alternatively no increase of existing pain

Results in less time

In many cases it is possible to relieve pain and improve muscle function in only one session, but normally it is necessary between five to ten sessions to see structural changes.
