Dr. LaRusso is a practicing chiropractor for 22 years, graduating with honors from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1980. He also holds a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology from Wagner College. The past 7 years he has practiced Neural Organization Technique under the close guidance of NOT's creator, Dr. Carl A. Ferreri, and has become a certified NOT instructor.

Dr. LaRusso is the Director of the New Horizon Center for Infinitely Higher Healing located in Staten Island, NY. The Center also offers a wide array of integrated and holistic therapies as an added adjunct to NOT.

Dr. LaRusso believes that NOT addresses the intricacies of the innate (inborn)
intelligence of the human being and its observable expression into the environment, as we know it. NOT's protocols created by Dr. Ferreri, lay down a template for those practitioners wanting to access areas of the mind, body and spirit of their patients. By doing so, the practitioner can thus determine the true "causal origin" of the patient's presenting problem/condition. NOT gives the practitioner the tools to accurately evaluate the problem, but most importantly focus on the solution at hand.

I have seen hundreds of patients in my practice, usually 2-3 times a week, helping some and not helping others, but still treating them. In 1992, essentially my life as a chiropractor began to change.

My present wife Debra came to the office that I was practicing in, and for some reason asked to see me instead of the chiropractor that she had been seeing for years. In doing my initial assessment I found out that going to chiropractors was something her 80" year-old grandmother started at age 18, so she was a firm believer in chiropractic. Her chief complaint was persistent debilitating headaches. She had changed chiropractors 5 times before me. Of course, believing in my abilities, I made here a promise to get to the bottom of what was "causing" her headaches. Little did I know how powerful that statement would later become.

After many, many months of traditional adjustments, the best I could do was, she had minimal headache pain, but was never pain free. We both became discouraged, and sticking to my promise, I started to look at other techniques. At first I looked at the quickest and easiest technique, because we all want it to happen "yesterday", but these techniques offered no relief. So I keep on my journey for an answer. I am a believer that "there are no coincidences in this life".

One day I went looking at carpet for my home and the salesman and I started talking. He told me that his back sometimes bothers him with this line of work. I immediately jumped in there offering my services. He very politely told me that he was not interested because he goes to a chiropractor who touches different areas on his body, even inside his mouth, but no matter how weird it sounds, IT WORKED!

He gave me the name of this chiropractor and I went home and called him. He set up some time for me to observe his technique as described by the carpet salesman. After watching the procedure for the first time, I remember remarking to my wife that I've never seen anything like this before.

The chiropractor informed me that a Brooklyn N.Y. based chiropractor by the name of Dr. Carl Ferreri developed this "specialized and powerful" technique. I then phoned Dr. Ferreri's office and set up time to observe him and his technique.

Over the next couple of weeks I spent all of my free time just watching this technique. I took time to speak with his patients after their treatment with Dr. Ferreri, and their responses were that this technique was "nothing less than a miracle". My decision was easy, I had to learn what is called Neural Organization Technique. When I did I immediately started using this technique with Debra, and discovered that these debilitating headaches had an emotional base to them, and when she became emotionally upset the same headache symptoms occurred. Through NOT I was able to identify and address the "cellular" response to this emotional trigger and erase it from her cellular memory, thus her headaches never reappeared again.

Nothing in this world is a panacea. Yet I am truly committed and concerned as to the quality of life involving my patients, my family and myself. That is why I wholeheartedly and with careful thought practice and teach NOT.

NOT offers both the patient and the practitioner an alternative, unique, safe, and effective approach in addressing your overall health care.

For the established practitioner, NOT can provide the breakthrough both you and your chronic and most difficult patients have been waiting for.

For the new practitioner, NOT can provide the strong foundation in which you can build upon.

For the patient, NOT can provide the desired changes that your body, mind, heart, and spirit /soul has been searching for.
