Injury Recovery & Human Performance

Appointment Form


    Amazing experience, relief beyond my expectations! I injured my back and was in a lot of pain and had trouble moving. Within a few sessions my pain was gone and I was able to get back to golfing and gardening. I was shocked at how quickly I healed! What truly sets Noble Chiropractic apart is Steve's deep knowledge of how the body functions and his holistic approach to healing. Thanks Steve!

    Elevated Pain
    Relief

    Muscle inhibition is the cause of most pain in your body. Activating inhibited muscles will alleviate your pain and restore your strength.

    Muscle Inhibition Removal Technique

    Dr. Noble’s proven technique (MIRT) instantly removes muscle inhibition, effectively “turning on” the muscle. This “turning on” of the muscle removes pain while improving strength, power and stability.

     

    Most health care providers will see an inhibited muscle as a weak muscle that needs to be strengthened through exercise. But this is wrong. The weakness is due to a neurological pattern created to inhibit the muscle when it was injured. The patterns stay indefinitely and typically will not change in response to a strengthening protocol. Using MIRT for re-patterning corrects the inhibition, alleviates pain, and immediately enhances strength and stability.

    Arthogenic Muscle Inhibition

    Arthogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI) is a recognized condition that can affect any of the over 600 muscle in the body when an injury occurs. It is done to protect the injured area initially, but this protection becomes part of your neurological pattern leaving those muscles inhibited for years setting one up for chronic pain and joint issues.

    Detecting Inhibitions

    Understanding the body’s 600+ muscles is crucial for identifying muscle inhibitions – muscles that are inactive or sluggish – and pinpointing their locations. Dr. Noble uses sEMG (surface electromyogram), Dynamometers, postural assessment, Muscle Response Testing (MRT) and over 18 years of clinical experience to locate inhibited muscles.

    Improving Performance

    Inhibited muscles are slow and sluggish. By their very nature they lower your potential for performance. Using MIRT to remove the inhibitions gives way to increases – often marked increases – in power, speed, reaction time, agility, stability, balance, postural changes and athleticism.
