ABOUT
Neuro-Adaptive Technique
Innate Healing
We believe true healing happens when the nervous system is in balance—unlocking the body’s innate ability to restore and thrive.
Gentle Precision
This technique activates the body’s natural healing response through specific neurological input—without forceful manipulation.
Nervous System Reset
Targeted input through touch resets neuro-emotional patterns, guiding the nervous system from dysregulation to repair.
What Is NAT?
The Neuro-Adaptive Technique (NAT) is a neurologically-focused chiropractic approach developed by Dr. Jim Claussen, shaped by decades of clinical experience and hands-on mastery. Rooted in the foundational principles of chiropractic, NAT integrates subconscious communication, innate to innate communication, neuro-tonal testing, frequency dynamics, and precise, intentional touch to engage the body’s innate ability to heal and reorganize.
Rather than relying on force, NAT works through presence, precision, and purposeful connection. Using a combination of verbal cues, zone-specific contacts, and real-time nervous system feedback, this technique helps calm the system, activate healing, and guide patients through meaningful, long-term neurological change.
This work is powerful, personal, and deeply rooted in trust. NAT empowers practitioners to lead with their hands, their voice, and their certainty—delivering care that doesn’t just adjust the spine, but transforms the nervous system and the person as a whole.

Neuro-Adaptive Technique's Purpose
The purpose of NAT is to activate the parasympathetic nervous system—specifically the vagus nerve—to help the body shift from stress to balance. Using precise touch thru muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs, NAT creates neurological feedback loops that connect with the brain stem and cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for integrating movement, posture, and sensory input to keep the body regulated and responsive.
Many people live in a constant state of sympathetic dominance (fight-or-flight), which negatively impacts digestion, hormone regulation, immune function, emotional imbalance & much more. NAT addresses imbalances in the 3Ts (Traumas, Toxins and Thoughts) by creating new, neuro-adaptive pathways in the nervous system—essentially giving the body a new code to create a stronger, healthier, more vital life.Â
Through NAT adjustments, we can gently update the neuro-engrams stored in the nervous system—patterns often tied to physical tension and emotional defense. As these patterns shift, we see improved physiological function and restored balance, allowing the body to heal from the inside out.
Created by Dr. Jim ClaussenÂ
With over 30 years of clinical and teaching experience, Dr. Jim has helped countless chiropractors master a gentle, neurologically focused technique that supports true healing.
His approach is deeply rooted in the understanding that subluxations are more than just structural—they often carry emotional and neurological imprints. By addressing both the physical and emotional layers, Dr. Jim provides a more complete and compassionate path to healing.
Adjust with Certainty & Precision
Â
Neuro-Adaptive Technique (NAT) is a gentle, neurologically driven approach that activates the body’s healing potential through touch. Rather than forceful manipulation, NAT uses specific contact points to send precise signals to the brain.
These touchpoints create communication loops between the body and the cerebellum, where patterns of defense physiology can be stored and expressed as symptoms like anxiety, constipation, sleep issues, or chronic stress and much more. By updating these stored neuro-engrams, NAT helps reset the nervous system and shift the body from fight-or-flight into a state of restoration.
