QNRT® is a popular technique used by chiropractors because it considers the Longitudinal Level of the Neurological Lesion. Neurological tests are performed to assist the practitioner in determining the levels involved ie: receptors, peripheral nerves, spinal cord, Cerebellum, Brain Stem, and or brain.  A certified QNRT® practitioner can apply these methods before or after the chiropractic adjustment to facilitate the full neurological pathway from receptor to brain. A skilled chiropractor implementing this technique identifies the involved cranial nerves, provides activation and stimulus to the cranial nerves, mobilizes affected joints, muscles and or tissue and incorporates cold laser therapy. This  stimulates the neurological signaling to the brain creating central integration along the spine which aides in correction of vertebral subluxation, other abnormal articulations, neurological pathway disturbances, and structural alterations. 

Many patients demonstrate immediate improvement in ROM of affected joints and report reduction or resolution of pain in the site.  QNRT® pain protocol is very effective specifically with helping restrictive ROM in joints and relieving physical pain.
