Why is my nervous system so important?
Your nervous system (n.s.) is your body's central control board
for coordinating all your body's functions. Information is sent
from your brain through your spinal cord and nerves to every cell
in your body with instructions for optimal function. Information
is then sent from your body to your brain regarding proper or improper
functioning. If there is any interference along this pathway we
don't express optimal health and well-being.
Along your nerves travels your body's innate
intelligence. This is the same intelligence that made you from an
egg and a sperm cell, produces a scab when you cut your finger,
and shows you what your destiny is. If your body has nerve interference,
on some level you are cut off from this divine flow. This is why
on some days it may seem as if the dimmer switch is on. Removing
nerve interference turns on your body's light again.
How do I know if my nervous system is compromised?
The medical term for nerve interference is subluxation (sub=less,
lux=light). Symptoms may alert us that we are subluxated. For those
people who have symptoms it can be seen as a blessing because your
body's innate intelligence is working effectively telling you something
is out of alignment. However, symptoms are not necessarily a good
indicator of subluxation. Often people are asymptomatic and are
then given a diagnosis of disease. This is why it is essential everyone
get their spine checked regularly by a licensed chiropractor for
vertebral subluxation.

What causes nerve interference?
Nerve interference is caused by physical, emotional, mental, or
chemical stress that was too overwhelming for your n.s. too handle.
Two types of subluxation may result :
(1). Structural Subluxation: two vertebrae misalign resulting in
a pinched nerve
(2). Facilitated Subluxation: the stress of an event gets translated
into a holding pattern in your spinal cord.
When we experience a trauma, the vibration of the
experience is sent from our brain down your spinal cord. The spinal
cord then holds the vibration of the experience as tension. When
the spinal cord is in defense it bends forward and twists.
Can nerve interference be a beneficial response to a stressful situation?
Holding tension can be a great short-term strategy to stress, yet
over time it leads to dis-ease and disconnection from self. Upon
examining people's spines when they first walk in my office, it
is as if their n.s.'s are still playing the vibration from an earlier
trauma. Their n.s. is responding as if they are still in fight or
flight from the divorce, car accident, abuse, unexpressed anger
or grief, school stress, etc..

If my n.s. has its own innate intelligence why would I need outside
assistance?
Our body does an excellent job at recovering from stress and healing
itself. Often we go on vacation or take time off and this is enough
for your body to heal itself. However sometimes the type of stress
is too overwhelming for your n.s. to recover from. This occurs when
the type of stress is too large or there have been too many small
stresses over a period of time. When this happens our brain and
body does such a successful job armoring itself we lose the strategy
and connection to unwind our own tension..
Why is it that we lose our health and wellness?
Researchers today believe that we lose our health and wellness because
of the way we experience our world. When an event occurs that our
brain determines to be unsafe for us to fully experience, the energy
and information of that event is translated into vibration and tension,
which is then stored in the body. It is not unlike the after-image
of a camera flash bulb. Our body then "walls off" the
offending energy and tension over time with muscular spasm, spinal
distortion, reduced movement and reduced breathing into the area.
This phenomenon has been termed "defense posture." Much
of what many disciplines seek to correct through adjustments/manipulations,
massage, acupuncture and various therapy modalities is often a symptom
of this process. With Network Care the body learns to move away
from defense and towards growth. This allows our higher brain functions
to take control of the body and resolve these symptoms.

How does a Network Spinal Analysis adjustment help me reconnect
so my body can remember this strategy?
Your network chiropractor makes soft contacts along your spinal
cord, which redirects your brains attention to the area of your
spine that went into defense, thereby allowing your brain to choose
a different strategy.
The beautiful part about this process is that in
the middle of your tension is a soft spot of free energy called
a Spinal Gateway. It is analogous to the eye of a hurricane. When
your brain connects to this area of free energy it is as if the
computer screen is wiped clean and your body and brain is able to
move from defense into safety.
The more these Spinal Gateways are accessed the more
open we become, allowing us to move from defense into growth. As
this occurs our nerves relay information of peace and ease to our
cells instead of tension and armor.
IIt is imperative our physiology learns these strategies in order
to grow and evolve. Life's richness is found in greater depth...having
a free and flexible nervous system is essential to achieve this
state.
What does a light touch contact at a Spinal Gateway do?
When a light force is applied to the body, research shows that there
is a brain/body shifting from stress physiology to one of reassessment,
growth and reorganization. Energy that was formerly bound in adaptive
structural changes appears to be liberated for constructive purposes.
Consequences of this are increased spinal and neural integrity and
wellness. N.S.A. allows individuals to move from stress physiology
to safety, and from safety to growth. As this occurs new strategies
and spinal and neural outcomes develop which have never been reported
elsewhere. .
back to top
Can such a light force make a difference?
The human nervous system is designed to respond to wind, the brush
of a feather, someone whispering "I love you", the gentle
touch of a loved one; the input into your nervous system doesn't
have to be forceful in order for your body to know that something
is happening or for changes to be made. What is most important is
that your body is receiving exactly the right amount of information,
at the right place and at the right time.
Why is there an Open Adjusting area?
Healing seems to be a community experience. In this office, we support
this phenomenon by offering the open adjusting room. As we express
more of who we truly are, by our very presence we inspire others
to heal. Many of our practice members remark how their breath deepens
as the person next to them is adjusted. Sometimes a contact made
on one person will have a direct affect on the person next to them.
Participation in this group process brings so many of us to the
conclusion that we are not separate, but all connected. We hope
this experience works for you. If there are times when you feel
you would prefer your own space, use the private room for your adjustment.

How long do I need to come for care?
That's an individual question; it all really depends on what your
goals for health and wellness are. Research shows that significant
changes in a person’s physical, mental and emotional state
begin within the first eight (8) weeks of care. It also has determined
that people under Network Care for more than two (2) years, were
still showing improvements in all areas of health and wellness.
Suggesting enhanced wellness accrues with time under Network Care.
There appears to be no limit to improvement of a person’s
physical health, emotional health, ability to adapt to stress, and
quality of life. During your initial report of findings, we will
help you plan your goals for care.
I'm pregnant. Should I wait until after I have my baby to start?
The answer is no! This is such an important time to make certain
that your body is functioning at its optimum potential. The first
4-5 months of pregnancy, NSA care is performed without variation.
After 5 months, ajdustments are made while using body pillows and
lying on your side.

Can Network Spinal Analysis help children?
NSA is a wonderful gift to any child to assist the body in developing
wellness strategies early in life. It strives to help children perceive
the environment with less stress, express emotions more effectively,
have more awareness of their spines, verbalize a body sense, awareness,
or emotion, make healthier internally guided choices, and meet the
world with greater love.
In the course of care, it is common for parents to
remark that their child's disposition has improved, that they learn
better in school, are more at peace, sleep better and in general,
seem to function without restriction. We can establish new spinal
strategies for infants and children that allow for greater self-observation
and regulation of spinal tension patterns. It is extremely important
for developing children and young adults to have a nervous system
that can support a positive way of being in one's self and the world.
