Why We Do What We Do?
We specialize in Network Spinal because as chiropractors we find that people heal most effectively when connected to their natural instincts. That we’re biologically designed to grow and evolve in following our life’s pursuits. This was the original intent of chiropractic.
Our clinical experience confirms this. People’s lives change. Not just because they got out of pain. It becomes easier to adapt to the physical, emotional, and life situational changes that life demands.
How can this be so different, yet still be chiropractic?
NSA Care, the system we use, grew out of the chiropractic profession, yet its methods and approach is experienced very differently from what’s typically expected at a chiropractor’s office. Forcing the adjustment, i.e., “cracking your back” when it’s against your inclinations, is not necessary. Everything that happens during a Network Spinal Adjustment of your back happens through what you do naturally, while being gently guided into increasingly more effective healing strategies that were already programmed into your DNA This way, under Network Spinal Care, you will no longer have to come back repeatedly for the same short-term results.
Depending on what your body likes, for some people – not everyone, when the time is right, a Network Spinal adjustment could at some point feel like the old-style manipulation of your back or neck chiropractic had long come to be known for.
Except one major difference; It will feel like it was your own natural movement fully controlling the process throughout the procedure that got the release. (Believe me, if that scares you, the same freedom of movement will come about ever more gracefully some other way.) Other times, it can feel like you’re getting a deep tissue massage of your back and neck. Yet that will also be through your own natural movements going deep into your spine.
The chiropractor’s touch is facilitating, taking advantage of what has always been there, guiding you and inspiring you all along. So even though Network Spinal may be attractive to those used to receiving low force, non-force, or soft touch chiropractic, this is in a category all its own.

Network Care also includes an exercise training program called Somato-Respiratory Integration (SRI). This empowers you to facilitate your healing and growth whenever and wherever, independently of a practitioner, by using your hands if possible, the timing of your natural breathing rhythms, specifically directed movements, and the focus of where you place your attention. Like learning to ride a bike, the natural skill set you acquire from even just a few seconds of SRI here and there on a regular basis, will promote a lifetime of self-correcting posture and neural integrity.
For accidents and injuries impacting your activities of daily living, this will be a vital hands-on physical therapy training, integral to Network Chiropractic Care in augmenting the skills that become second nature to you as you continue your recovery at home.

"The NSA chiropractic approach is one of the most positive modalities I have ever received. I have found greater ease in my body and in letting go of stress. I feel happier, lighter, more relaxed, more connected, and willing to take more risks. I notice I’m more confident about speaking up in front of a group of people. My neck and upper back tension is gone, my knees are so much better, and there is less tension in my jaw."
