Brain waves are propagated along the perineural system and blend with this continuous current. The result is a powerful vector of homeostasis. This balancing force is a key element in tissue repair, and probably in all internal recovery processes. A patient's positive attitude is indispensable to healing. The brain waves he or she generates extend through the perineural system as far as the injured part of the body, wherever this might be. This is one of the physiological justifications for the placebo effect.

The manipulations that we direct at freeing the perineural system improve a variety of conditions. Patients often report immediate or delayed reactions that are not explainable by neurophysiology alone.

Nerve manipulation plays a very significant part in all aspects of recovery, rehabilitation, and rebalancing in the entire distribution area of the liberated nerve.

The next brainwave is theta. Theta activity has a frequency of 3.5 to 7.5 Hz and is classed as “slow” activity. It is seen in connection with creativity, intuition, daydreaming, and fantasizing and is a repository for memories, emotions, and sensations. Theta waves are strong during internal focus, meditation, prayer, and spiritual awareness. It reflects the state between wakefulness and sleep and relates to the subconscious mind. It is abnormal in awake adults but is perfectly normal in children up to 13 years old. It is also normal during sleep. Read More: stress alpha wave

Theta brain waves occur when you’re sleeping or dreaming, but they don’t occur during the deepest phases of sleep. They may occur when you’re drifting off to sleep or suspended in that light phase of sleep, just before you wake up.

Theta brain waves can also occur when you’re awake, but in a very deeply relaxed state of mind; a state that some may describe as “autopilot.” However, if you experience high levels of theta waves while you’re awake, you might feel a little sluggish or scattered.

Experts believe that theta waves are important for processing information and making memories. And, as researchers learn more about how they work and how they’re linked to different types of learning, this knowledge may come in handy when determining the best way to help people learn.
