The “neuromusculoskeletal system” refers to the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems of your body as an integrated whole. This “frame” of your body consists of hundreds of bones connected by many more joints, which are stabilized and moved by thousands of muscles, controlled by millions of nerve fibers, and interconnected by a vast network of various support tissues.

All the components of the neuromusculoskeletal system are designed to work together smoothly, coordinated by your brain and central nervous system, to enable you to move confidently through life.

However, because of the vastness and complexity of your neuromusculoskeletal system, it is not uncommon for one or more components to malfunction or become damaged. Common causes of malfunction or damage include:

• Occupations that require lots of sitting or driving
• Improper use of one or more parts of the body
• Repetitive tasks that overuse some body regions while neglecting others
• Over-exertion that forces areas of the body past their current level of conditioning or strength
• Actual injuries, past or current
• Nutritional deficiencies or imbalances
• Past, current, or developing disease processes

These causes commonly result in a loss of normal function, and possibly a loss of tissue integrity. You might notice these changes as: loss of flexibility or strength, poor posture, difficulty performing normal daily tasks, and pain. These are your body’s “warning signs” of neuromusculoskeletal compromise.

Focusing only on the area of abnormal symptoms will not disclose the full cause of a problem, and no single therapy can address the needs of your entire neuromusculoskeletal system. Because of this, Dr. Eha uses a comprehensive approach to identify malfunctions and tissue injuries throughout your body’s frame and implements appropriate therapeutic methods to correct them. His approach takes into account all the causes of your current problems as well as all their effects, in order to help you regain the health of your entire neuromusculoskeletal system and retain it.
