Bennett Reflex Technique in Frankfort

When a concern keeps lingering, whether it’s low back pain or recurring headaches, many patients want something gentle, simple, and low-pressure to try next. The Bennett Reflex Technique is a non-invasive, hands-on approach designed to be easy to experience and straightforward to evaluate. Dr. Brian McGuckin, D.C., DABCI, offers Neurovascular Dynamics, also known as the Bennett Reflex Technique. This light touch, hands-on method uses sustained contact at specific areas of the body. The idea behind the technique is to encourage a reflex response that may affect blood flow. Perhaps best of all? There are no needles or medications involved, and most patients feel very little while the technique is being performed.

What Does a Session Feel Like?

You’ll lie comfortably on your back while one hand is placed along your spine and the other over a specific area of the body. According to the principles behind the technique, this positioning is intended to create a reflex response associated with blood flow in the targeted area. You may not feel anything happening, and that’s expected. Some patients notice a faint pulsing sensation beneath the hand, while others feel no noticeable sensation at all.

Trying It Without a Long-Term Commitment

The Bennett Reflex Technique is often used on its own, including for people who already receive chiropractic care elsewhere. Dr. McGuckin may also use it alongside chiropractic treatment when appropriate, including when working with patients experiencing headaches.He generally recommends trying the technique twice initially rather than committing to an extended course of care. You can then discuss your response and whether further visits make sense for you. When continued care is appropriate, visits may be scheduled weekly or approximately every three weeks based on individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I feel anything during the session?

How many visits should I try?

Does this replace chiropractic care?
