This was my first series of treatments by CNS Restoration. I decided to get treatment because my son had done so well with his first series of treatments."
"After the third day I found the hip problem I had that had been chronic for 30 years disappeared. My mind seems sharper and clearer. I bought a book in the afternoon of over 200 pages and read the whole thing in a few hours. It seemed easy. I have never done this before."

"I came to Dr. Jim McCarty with continuous pain in my lower back and hips, as well as pain down my legs. Dr. Jim told me about the various problems I had when he did some x-rays. He also mentioned about the cranial work that he did ( Central Nervous System Restoration). He said I needed some fluid to get to my disc in the lower back where I was having all my problems. He mentioned that the fluid I needed was supposed to come from the fluid around the brain."
"I let him do the work to my head and within two days the pain in my back was almost gone. Continued cranial work allowed my back to have no pain at all. It has been 16 days and I have no pain whatsoever in any part of my back or hips or legs. This is a blessing for me, for I have had this pain for 10 years. Thanks Dr. Jim, God is working through you."

"I came to Dr. Jim because of terrible pain in my right hip, right leg would go to sleep. I could not stand up more than 5 minutes because my right hip would lock up and the previous week I was in so much pain that I could not walk my dog more than one block."
"The same day I had the head treatment ( CNS Restoration) on the table, my pain went away in the right hip and leg. That night and the next few days, I can now bend over and tie my shoes without pain, my right foot is alive and not asleep. I don't seem to have as large of an appetite and have strenuous energy. This same week someone at my office said I looked like a new person. I'm not as irritable, can concentrate better, and just feel relaxed and am smiling and happy."

"I came in for lower back pain and shoulder pain. I had no idea I was seeing other than a typical chiropractor at first. After our consultation, I agreed to Central Nervous System Restoration. In less than 1 week I can now do yard work (weed eating and mowing etc) all day and still go out at night without pain. This is the first time in 25 years I can say that. After the first treatment, the pain in my back, hip, and left leg left and has not returned.

"I came with my husband Dick to see Dr. Jim after he was recommended by a friend. After watching him work on Dick, and I saw the results, I thought that I would like to see what he could do for me."
"I have had a pain in my right hip for a few years, and have been going to a chiropractor two times a week for over a year, with little improvement. Dr. Jim gave me two treatments using Central Nervous System Restoration and I am pain free at last. I can get out of bed without pain, and can get in and out of the car like a kid."
"Thank you Dr. Jim."

The Cause Of Herniated Disks
Ninety five percent of all disk problems do not need surgery; they need Central Nervous System Restoration. When given the proper therapy, the disc begins to heal and all the symptoms disappear within six months. Most patients begin to feel much better after 2 series ( 8 treatments).
A disc looks like a sponge. It separates the bones of the spine which are called vertebra. It acts like a shock absorber and keeps the vertebra from putting pressure on the injured nerves. When a sponge is wet it is thick. When a sponge becomes dry then it becomes thin. A disk an also be compared to a jelly doughnut. It has a jelly like material on the inside (nucleus pulposus) and a tough outer covering (annulus fibrosus)
The discs stays wet and soft until about the age of twenty This allows the blood vessels to grow into the disk and therefore any injury heals quickly Somewhat around twenty twenty years of age the disc begin to dehydrate As the disk dries out it become harder and thinner. At this point the blood vessels cannot grow into the hard dry disc which has become like dry clay soil during the summer. The outer portion of the disk develops cracks and the jelly like portion begins to leak out. This is known as disk bulging. As the bulge becomes worse it is called a herniated disc. These can be measured on CAT scans and MRI as 3mm. 4mm. or 5mm herniations.
Eventually, the jelly like material can become completely separated (sequestered) from the disk. This is known as a ruptured disk. Ruptured discs require surgery and account for less than 5% of all disk problems.

The bottom disk in the low back is called L5 and it is usually the first disc to develop a problem. This is for two reasons. first because of gravity it supports the most weight and second it is the furthest away from the brain where the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) is made. The CSF is made in the brain and is pumped down to the tailbone each time we breathe. Injuries to the head or tailbone slow down the flow of this fluid (CSF). This causes the disc to slowly dehydrate.
Accumulation of several small injuries to the head, low back, tailbone, or one large injury is enough to cause the disk to dehydrate. Once the disk begins to dehydrate it begins to get hard and the blood vessels cannot grow into it until it is rehydrated.
Once blood supply to the disk dries up then the disk must depend on its collateral (nearby) blood supply for oxygen and nutrition. Without proper spinal fluid and blood supply of oxygen and nutrition the disc cannot heal. Without the proper flow of cerebro-spinal fluid to the disc the blood supply cannot get in to do its healing work.

The Cure Of Herniated Disks
Both bulging discs and herniated discs can heal in six months when given Central Nervous System Restoration. 95% of all back problems do NOT need surgery! Only Ruptured Discs Require Surgery.
In order for a disc to heal it must first be re-hydrated! In order to rehydrate a disc the Cerebro-Spinal Fluid must flow from the brain to the disc at the correct rate of flow. This can be accomplished by a therapy referred to as Central Nervous System Restoration Central Nervous System Restoration therapy corrects the flow of the Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) allowing it to reach the disc.
Clay soil is much like a disc in the spine. If the soil gets dry it develops cracks and gets hard. The roots cannot grow into the hard soil and the grass cannot grow. If the ground receives water for 3 or 4 days the soil begins to soften, the cracks disappear, and the roots begin to grow again. When a disc gets dry, it also begins to get thin and hard and develops cracks. As the disc gets dry and hard the blood vessels cannot grow into it.
When we get fluid to the disk for 3 or 4 days the cracks begin to disappear, the disc begins to soften, the disc regains some of its height and the blood vessels begin to grow back into the disc and healing can now begin.

Central Nervous System Restoration therapy is the quickest and surest way to re-hydrate a disc! Without Central Nervous System Restoration therapy all other treatments are temporary.
My approach is totally different. I have found that we can help 90% of the patients with Herniated Disks and Lower Back problems by using a combination of five major therapies and three minor therapies. So Far, I am the only doctor in the United States trained in all eight therapies.
There are no other doctors in the world who are using the combination of techniques that I use. I have found that if I combine five major and three minor different techniques that I get faster and longer lasting results.
So far I am the only doctor who has specialized in Herniated Disks who is using these EIGHT techniques. They work together very well and the results last.

1. Nimmo Technique-deep muscle work along the spine developed by Dr. Ray Nimmo, a chiropractor, which breaks up lactic acid in the muscles and increases blood flow and oxygen thereby helping the muscles to relax.
2. Bowen (Neuro Structural Integration Technique)-Very light muscle work designed to relax the muscles of the spine, neck, face, and jaw even further so that they do not pull the bones back out of place. The Bowen work has its own protocol for helping the TMJ.. Developed by Tom Bowen of Australia who was an osteopathic type of therapist. It resets these muscles so that they do not pull the jaw back out of place.
3. Cranial Sutural Spread- regular cranial work that feels like I am massaging the scalp where the bones of the skull come together. This promotes the flow of the cerebro spinal fluid in and around the brain.
4. Crane Condyle Lift (levels one and two)-developed by three generations of chiropractors in the Crane family. It is designed to remove pressure off of the brain stem and TURN THE POWER BACK ON TO YOUR BRAIN. Dr. Virgil Crane is now retired.
5. Cranial Lift and spread-very gentle lifting of the head with patient laying face up with light pressure laterally on the underside of the skull to increase blood flow to the brain by relaxing spasms in the "Vertebro/Basilar Artery" which supplies blood to the brain.
6. Reset jaw muscle (Masseter) spindle fibers-very gentle massage of the major jaw muscles that allow you to chew.
7. Central Nervous System Restoration-uses a small instrument that looks like what is used for "angioplasty". It is a blood pressure cuff with a finger cot (small balloon) attached that is placed into the nose (turbinate bones) and inflated with air for about 2 seconds. The balloon then opens the cartilage at the back of the nose and allows you to breathe better. It also "begins the process" of restoring the subtle motion of the skull bones that is supposed to happen when you breathe air in. The Central Nervous System Restoration therapy focuses on removal of pressure on the jaw and facial bones from the inside by restoring movement to these joints.
Recent research, done at my clinic in August 2004, has allowed for FINE TUNING of this “ Central Nervous System Restoration” that is NOT being done by any other doctors.
8. Atlanto/Occipital Restoration-(Ligament Resetting)-light pressure applied behind the ear (bottom of the skull) and to the upper bone in the neck while rotating your head throughout its range of motion during inspiration and expiration to reset and remove stress off of a VERY IMPORTANT ligament that acts like a guy wire to support the skull.

I have seen the TMJ get well many times by the use of Nimmo, Bowen Therapy (Neuro Structural Therapy), Cranial Sutural Spread, Crane Condyle Lift, Atlanto/Occipital Restoration, Masseter Muscle Spindle Restoration and Central Nervous System Restoration which each have their own method of correcting the TMJ.
The Soft tissue work is just as important as the Central Nervous System Restoration in correcting the underlying cause of the herniated disks.
On the first day we do an exam which gives me a pretty accurate estimation of the length of time that is needed for your treatment (4-12 months). The most number of major points that can be jammed is six major places which means six series of treatments over six months (average for 7 out of 10 patients).
Most disk patients will have all six major skull spots locked up. If you have six "compressed" skull sutures then it normally takes six series of four days of therapy spaced about one month apart.
Occasionally (for 3 out of 10 patients), the treatment may progress a little slower than the averages that I have quoted.
Central Nervous System Restoration
Drinking 3/4 of a gallon of pure drinking water per day will assist the body to flush out toxins.
Good blood supply to the disc can be insured by taking an enzyme called Bromelain. Bromelain comes from the stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain thins the blood to normal if it is too thick. Thick blood is caused by poor protein digestion. Bromelain helps the blood to carry nutrients to the disc. For the purpose of healing the disc it is best taken on an empty stomach. Dose depends on your weight. Eating pineapple and papaya daily also helps.
Magnesium Citrate water soluble--one teaspoon AM and PM. 600 mg per day in divided doses Magnesium acts as a natural calcium blocker causing relaxation of blood vessels, thus increasing blood supply to the disc. Magnesium and potassium keep calcium in solution and restores flexibility to the disc.
Apple Cider Vinegar (potassium)—one teaspoon in a glass of water at each meal will aid digestion in the stomach and at the same time provide potassium and malic acid to assist the muscles, arteries, and discs to remain flexible.

My intention is to help heal as many Low Back/Herniated Discs patients as I can. Although I have had remarkable success using “Central Nervous System Restoration®” to treat very difficult cases, I am not allowed to make guarantees. Each patient is unique and each situation is different. If you continue to treat Low Back/Herniated Discs with the traditional approach; then you will get traditional high failure rates. My approach is quite different and effective.
