The Practice
What Is Neurological Integration System (NIS)?
A gentle, non-invasive approach to healthcare that restores the brain's ability to communicate with every cell in your body — so your body can do what it was designed to do.
The Foundation
NIS — developed by Dr. Allan K. Phillips D.O. through Neurolink — is a system of investigation designed to isolate and correct faults in the cellular signaling process. At its core, NIS works with the body's action potential: the electrical signal that allows the brain to communicate with every cell, tissue, and organ system.
Your brain governs everything — not just conscious functions like thought and memory, but also the automatic processes that keep you alive: heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, respiration, hormonal regulation, and much more. Your sense of wellness is, in large part, a direct expression of how fully your brain is aware of and coordinating all of these systems.
When that communication breaks down — due to physical stress, illness, emotional trauma, or accumulated life demands — symptoms develop. NIS works to identify exactly where those signaling faults exist and, through specific neurological input, prompts the brain to re-establish those communication pathways.
NIS in a Nutshell
Brain-centered: The brain controls every function in the body. NIS works with that innate intelligence rather than around it.
Non-invasive: Sessions use light touch only — no needles, no forceful adjustments, no medication.
Systematic: Every session follows a structured assessment protocol to identify and address signaling faults before any correction is applied.
Restorative: The goal is to restore the body's own regulatory ability — not to override it or compensate for it.
The Science Behind NIS
NIS is grounded in two established principles of neuroscience.
Action Potential
The action potential is the electrical signal that allows the brain to send instructions to every cell in the body. Think of it as the body's communication network. When this signaling process is disrupted — even slightly — the brain may lose awareness of a particular system or function, and that area can begin to underperform or develop symptoms over time. NIS identifies exactly where those disruptions exist.
Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the brain's well-documented ability to change and reorganize itself throughout life — forming new neural connections in response to new information and experiences. NIS leverages neuroplasticity as its mechanism for change. By presenting the brain with precise, targeted neurological input during a session, the practitioner prompts the brain to "rewire" — restoring signaling pathways that had gone offline.
How a Session Works
Each NIS session follows a consistent, systematic protocol from start to finish.
Assessment
The practitioner uses a muscle-testing technique (a form of neuromuscular biofeedback) to systematically check each area of the body and brain's integration. This identifies exactly which circuits are not firing correctly — before anything else is done.
Integration
Once a fault is identified, the practitioner applies a gentle tap to specific points on the skull (the cortex). This light stimulus is the neurological input that prompts the brain to re-establish the disrupted signaling pathway — essentially reminding the brain of what it had stopped monitoring.
Restoration
With communication restored, the body is empowered to regulate itself more effectively. Because the correction happens at the level of the brain, changes can affect multiple body systems simultaneously — without targeting any single symptom in isolation.

Who Can Benefit?
Because NIS works at the level of brain-body communication rather than targeting specific diagnoses, it can support a wide range of people and presentations.
