Neurodynamics Treatment in Sunset Hills, MO
Looking for Neurodynamics Treatment or Nerve Mobilization Near You?
If you’re dealing with pain, tingling, numbness, burning, or symptoms that travel down your arm or leg, the problem may involve more than just muscles or joints.
Sometimes the nervous system itself isn’t moving or functioning as well as it should.
At Body First Chiropractic, Dr. Justin Hill uses Clinical Neurodynamics along with chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Technique®, Graston Technique®, dry needling, and other hands-on manual therapy treatments to evaluate and treat nerve-related movement problems.
Our goal is to identify the source of your symptoms and restore normal movement—not just temporarily reduce pain.
What Is Neurodynamics?
Neurodynamics is the assessment and treatment of how the nervous system moves and functions throughout the body.
Healthy nerves are designed to slide, glide, and tolerate normal movement.
When a nerve becomes irritated, compressed, inflamed, or restricted, it may lose its ability to move normally. This can contribute to pain, numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, or symptoms that travel into the arms or legs.
Clinical Neurodynamics uses specific examination procedures to determine whether the nervous system is contributing to your symptoms and, when appropriate, applies carefully selected treatment techniques to improve nerve mobility and reduce irritation.
Conditions That May Benefit From Neurodynamic Treatment
Neurodynamic treatment may be appropriate for patients experiencing:
- • Sciatica

Every patient receives a thorough examination to determine whether the nervous system is contributing to their symptoms.
More Than “Nerve Flossing”
Many people have heard the term “nerve flossing.”
While nerve gliding exercises can sometimes be helpful, Clinical Neurodynamics is much more comprehensive.
Treatment begins by determining:
• Which nerve may be involved
• Where the restriction or irritation is occurring
• Whether the symptoms are coming from the nerve, surrounding tissues, joints, or another source
• Which treatment progression is appropriate for your specific condition
Treatment is then individualized based on your examination findings rather than applying the same exercises to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Neurodynamics?
Neurodynamics is the evaluation and treatment of how the nervous system moves and functions throughout the body. It helps determine whether irritated or restricted nerves are contributing to pain and movement problems.
Is Neurodynamics the same as nerve flossing?
Not exactly.
Nerve flossing is one type of exercise. Clinical Neurodynamics includes a complete examination, diagnosis, and treatment system designed to determine when and how nerve mobilization should be performed.
Can Neurodynamics help sciatica?
Yes. Neurodynamic treatment is commonly used as part of a treatment plan for patients experiencing sciatica and lumbar nerve irritation when the examination indicates a neurodynamic component.
Does every patient need Neurodynamic treatment?
No.
Treatment depends entirely on your examination findings. If the nervous system is not contributing to your symptoms, other treatments may be more appropriate.
