Naprapathy is a system of manually applied movements, both passive and active, designed to bring motion with consequent release of tension into abnormally tensed and rigid ligaments, muscles and articulations of the human body. The tissues and structures are normally moveable, flexible and resilient.
In 1907, after devising a system of treatment for evaluating and healing damaged connective tissue, Dr. Smith founded the science of Naprapathy. Dr. Smith was an avid traveler. He liked learning about other cultures and health care practices around the world. While traveling in Czechoslovakia, he learned about an old healing practice called napravit. Dr. Smith observed the practice of napravit and found it to be similar to the technique he had been developing in United States, a gentle manipulation of constricted joints to loosen and relax.
Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine (SUNM) prepares its students to successfully participate in the world of complementary manual medicine using a hybrid online and face-to-face educational model. SUNM aspires to make Naprapathic medicine the premier health management leader in the field of drug-free manual medicine.
SUNM holds the honor of being the only licensed school of Naprapathic medicine in New Mexico and one of two licensed Naprapathic Medicine schools in the United States
In the Czechoslovakian language, napravit means “to correct, or fix.” Dr. Smith took “napra” from napravit (to correct) and added the Greek word pathos (suffering, or pain) to coin the name naprapathy, to correct suffering or pain. Dr. Oakley established his practice in Chicago, Illinois. Today, Chicago is the home of the largest university devoted to naprapathy, the National College of Naprapathic Medicine.
Naprapathy is a very helpful health profession that can be the saving grace for individuals who are suffering from problems with their soft connective tissues, joints, and spine. To become a doctor of naprapathic medicine is to provide aid to those suffering from chronic pain and limited movement. It is a very good add on for physical therapy or chiropractic or occupational therapy.

WAIT HOLY SHIT, YOU’RE IN NEW MEXICO!!!!!!! HOW DO I GET AN APPOINTMENT?
Nice thumbnail 😏
Thanks for the advise on BMI. Time under stress or stressing the body with bad diet is something that I learned today from you. Sometimes the messaging needs context.
soft tissue work has to go hand in hand with chiro. only makes sense. i am glad we are getting to homeopathic 360 deg view of health! its kind of the chicken and the egg when you look at one or the other, do muscles/connective get tight and cause alignment problems, or do alignment problems cause muscles/connective to tighten up like guy wires in attempt to keep body in check? both are important and work together.
Osteopathic doc here. I’d love to collaborate with you to bridge the gap between standard allopathic/osteopathic and chiropractic and naprapathic
thicc
This was great. I realize now that I need to find a naprapath in my area.
Link for the lectures you said at 38 mins ? =)
These are my fave vids of yours..actually going through your thinking, assessments and process.
In a lot of medicine working on another doctor can be quite a task: it was good to watch him get treatment and follow direction pretty much better than any patient you’ve ever had on the channel! You also would expect that from someone with that kind of lineage of having manual therapy done literally his entire life.
I grew up in Albuquerque but am currently practicing in Orlando as an LMT and working to get my chiropractic license.
This will definitely be on my list for a future program. Look forward to returning back to the 505 and working with you Doc 🙌🏽
I feel like he looked like Tom Cruise when he was younger. Or that’s Tom cruise from the future.
Have you worked with people who have Gillian-Barrè syndrome?
My chiropractor got really annoyed and round eyed when I casually mentioned you. He got his degree in the UK with chiropractic. Dont know what that was all about.
I wish i could go to someone like you where i live. Southern alberta canada. Bein fighting lower(siatic) back pains for almost 10 years as well as both shoulders… im supposed to see a general chiropractor 2 times a week. He does my back n neck sends me home. Still hurt every day.
Great content…..me being a MT I am Learning so much more each and every day I watch your videos
How would you contrast naprapathy, with A.R.T. soft tissue work? as the recipient of numerous A.R.T. treatments over the years as well as many mates at my gym, I’ve been very impressed with its effectiveness for treating chronic injuries & the resultant pain.
Ff to 39:34 for the real lesson! 😉
That guy looks like a grinning salesman.
video could not have come at a better time
lol… I knew he was from Chicago about 30 seconds into the video – "ellinoi" just confirmed it at the 16 min mark
Yeah it is so crazy to me I watch these videos on YouTube of these amazing doctors and chiropractors I’ve been to at least six to eight in my area these chiropractors I see I’m there for maybe 5 minutes I’m being honest and I feel nothing different at all I cannot find a good one like you guys or other chiropractors who do an amazing job at all I don’t understand it God bless you guys
Yeah so uhhh…where’s the ring dinger? No mysterious nail gun-lookin machine that doesn’t appear to do anything? 22 year old female softball player/model in yoga pants? What the hell kinda chiro video is this?
Nice brotha!! I studied at the Chicago college of Naprapathic medicine. Great time. I’m so glad that you have school there
New Mexico is the Land of Entrapment, I got out. New Mexico is rough to transition to if you’re used to 3+ seasons and more than high desert and desert views.
❗❗❗I really wish there was Naprapathic Medicine in Northeast Florida. I have back issues that haven’t been resolved and I can bet that this would be the solution.❗❗❗
Alternative med school. Not real med school.
Dr. Hightower, have you gotten the opportunity to watch Dr. McLaughlin of McLaughlin Chiropractic? The family he is a part of is also using a blend of therapies to treat their patients.

I was treated by Dr. Hightower back in 2014. I have spasmodic torticollis (cervical dystonia). Are there any clinics in Santa Fe? I know a ton of athletes and co-workers who could use your help
Dr beau works with the Fonz
Nice
this lady is so beautiful not just her voice but her shape of body 😍❤
Your not a real DR. I don’t get why these Chiropractors keep saying they are doctors when our profession knows better.
nice, oeh, cool
Curious about how naprapathy is viewed by the medical community. Is it "poo poo’d" like chiropractic?
saw the guest and knew I was gonna totally nerd out!!!! love the education during the sessions. thanks so much
nice… cool… nice…
Harold Baines is my all time favorite White Sox player. I love this guy.
link to your lecture channel. please. thanks Sir
I’m in Sante Fe…bad back surgery. A year ago had reconstructed right wrist and a separated shoulder. I need to investigate this.
Pretty close
Nice
18:32 naprapathy has been accredited in Sweden since -94 😉
I feel ya. I dislocate my shoulder tendon frequently and have no idea how or when I do it. It’s instant relief when it gets reduced.
Hello where can I get treatment around Toledo Ohio ? I can not find anything like you around here. Or somewhere close. ?
I would like to get myself checked. I got neck, back pain. And recently got sciatica for the first time in my life on May of this year. It’s affecting my quality of life; physically and emotionally. I hope I can find someone on this area in LA, CA.
Can’t believe the delts you stooping to with all these dad jokes
lol still hammering. joke
Hey full name please
Sure would like to see a directory of qualified graduates? NM is quite a drive from Vegas.
Thanks Doc. I needed this. I had my bicep reattached on the 30th at the elbow. This exact video is what I needed. Can’t find anyone within a hour drive of me to do this, so I have to work on the soft tissue myself.
