IAO Neuro-Ocular Release (NOR)

October 24, 2025 - October 25, 2025

Neuro-ocular release (NOR) is a new osteopathic manipulative procedure that involves the indirect method of manual techniques. It may be used alone, or it may be used as an activating force for other indirect methods of treatment. By utilizing the visual system, NOR accesses pathways that reset the central and peripheral nervous systems. In doing so, NOR more effectively alleviates somatic disfunction in less time (only three seconds) than traditional methods alone.

Neuro-ocular release (NOR) is an advanced, indirect, osteopathic manipulative procedure that puts into play the ocular nervous system and its related CNS and PNS as described to deactivate entrainment, central facilitation (sensitization) and local somatic dysfunction for both active and latent tender points. By utilizing the neuro-ocular system in the manner described; the inhibition of the presynaptic primary afferents and postsynaptic inhibition at the spinal projections modulate pain and diminish somatic dysfunction (SD).

  • NOR is less time consuming and provides a more complete treatment of SD.
  • NOR functionally removes the spinal cord memory of SD, particularly important in recurrent neuromusculoskeletal pain.
